The Sacred Art of Slowing Down: Healing Trauma with Your Whole Self

The Sacred Art of Slowing Down: Healing Trauma with Your Whole Self

Author: Living Truth Inc February 9, 2026 Duration: 33:57
When your life is shattered by trauma, slowing down can feel impossible—even unsafe. In this tender, soul-nourishing conversation, Kristin reconnects with her friend Anna Christine Seiple, a licensed counselor, trauma survivor, and author of The Sacred Art of Slowing Down. Anna shares her profound story of devastation, healing, and rebuilding a life she never imagined possible.   Together, Kristin and Anna explore: ✨ Why slowing down is often forced upon us in seasons of trauma—and how it becomes an unexpected doorway to healing ✨ How the body carries what the mind tries to outrun, and why listening to your body is a deeply biblical practice ✨ The damaging myth in Christian culture that the body is “bad,” and how Scripture actually presents a fully integrated, embodied spirituality ✨ Why healing isn’t linear, logical, or fast—and how God meets us in the mystery ✨ Permission to be human: the messy, cyclical process of grief, anger, hope, and restoration ✨ What it looks like to tend gently to the parts of yourself you’ve long ignored or believed were unworthy of care   If you’re walking through betrayal, chronic stress, unwanted sexual behavior or profound disorientation, this episode will remind you that your body is not your enemy—your body is crying out for compassion. God created you as an integrated whole, and every part of you is worthy of love, safety, and healing.   Anna’s wisdom, vulnerability, and theological depth offer real hope for anyone longing to feel whole again.   Link to Anna’s book: https://a.co/d/dHvaCtF Anna's website: https://www.acseiple.com/   🎧 Listen to the full podcast here: 📖 Learn more about our programs: https://living-truth.org   The Living Truth Podcast; Conversations that shed light on the deeper issues that unlock healing from porn addiction, sex addiction, and sexual betrayal.   #LivingTruthPodcast #ChristianRecovery #FaithAndHealing #AddictionRecovery #MenInTheBattle #WomenInTheBattle #LivingTruth #BetrayalTraumaHealing #SacredArtOfSlowingDown #EmbodiedFaith #HealingAfterBetrayal #ChristianHealingJourney #TraumaRecovery #SoulCare #ChristianCounseling #AnnaChristineSeiple #HopeAfterBetrayal #EmbodiedSpirituality #SlowingDownToHeal #KristinCary
