Show Notes: Naming Pain Rightly โ€” A Sanctuary for the Misread

Episode Overview

In this episode, Dr. Rachel shares her sanctuary-grade approach to emotional stewardship, pain literacy, and symbolic restoration.

She offers a radical alternative to the cultural impulse to pathologise painโ€”inviting listeners into a field where grief becomes structure, and ache becomes testimony.

Rachel sits with people in their painโ€”not to fix, rush, or silence it, but to listen. She helps them understand what they feel, why they feel it, and what that feeling is asking them to remember.

In a world that commodifies care and treats pain as a flaw, Rachel dignifies it as a form of truth.
