Dr. Hillary McBride: I Can Trust Her (E16)

Trusting the deep Knowing within myself became key to healing from years of gaslighting abuse. Coming back to my body and trusting "her" as my ally was the work Dr. Hillary McBride, therapist, and author, did with me in my Year of Jess. Hillary holds sacred space in my heart. She is one of my beautiful healers.  In this episode, we share how I found her and talk about the work and play we did in Tanzania Africa together.  We talk about a topic she was strategic in helping me heal from...Gaslighting. This is the story of how embodiment was key to healing me from the trauma of gaslighting abuses. I hope that this episode brings you healing as well.

Dr. Hillary McBride is best known as co-host of the Liturgists podcast and host of the CBC podcast Other People’s Problems. But that work has only been possible with years of clinical practice as a counselor and research as a psychologist, a base of expertise that includes work at the intersection of spirituality and mental health, trauma and trauma therapies, body image, eating disorders, perinatal mental health, and the menopausal transition. Her first book, Mothers, Daughters, and Body Image: Learning to Love Ourselves as We Are, was published in 2017; she was the senior editor of a textbook which was released in 2018, Embodiment and Eating disorders: Theory, Research, Prevention, and Treatment, and her next book, The Wisdom of Your Body, will be out in 2021. She has been recognized by the American Psychological Association, and the Canadian Psychological Association for her research addressing our relationships with our bodies across the life span, and her work in feminist psychology. Hillary makes her home in Vancouver, British Columbia.
