I've been feeling some type of way recently, and I just wanted to talk it out with you. My steam of consciousness leads to anger at an institution, jealousy of those who weren't subjected to said institution, and processing the process of healing. If you're on your healing journey as well, DM me on Instagram @thebabelpodcast with a 🤍 white heart, just to let me know that you're here. We can talk about as little or as much as you like. But just know that I see you! Much love, Paige

TW: Sexual assault, rape culture, trauma response, purity culture Kelly Rhyne is a creative, theologian, and sex-positive clinician who is on a mission to understand the connection between religious trauma, psychological development, and creating a sphere of sex positivity. This conversation is a truly raw and real reflection of Kelly and I’s exposure to purity culture in our youth and the trauma responses that have come from that. We hope that we can open the dialogue of hidden traumas that Christian youth may experience on the day-to-day without knowing it.
