#238 - Rachel Harrison - The Spiritual Roots of Trauma: Healing Your Soul for Mental Wellness

This episode of Mental Matters features a dialogue between host Asekho Toto and the creator of "Recovery Your Soul" podcast about the essential connection between spiritual awareness and mental health healing. The conversation introduces a compassionate approach to trauma recovery that emphasizes curiosity over self-blame and root-cause healing over symptom management. Listeners will discover why some therapeutic approaches can inadvertently retraumatize by excessive focus on painful memories, and how grace, kindness, and spiritual connection offer alternative pathways to wholeness. Rachel Harrison shares powerful insights about how personal healing contributes to collective healing across generations, creating ripple effects that extend far beyond individual recovery. Asekho openly discusses his own journey balancing multiple responsibilities while seeking deeper self-understanding, creating relatable moments for listeners navigating similar challenges. This episode is essential listening for mental health professionals, spiritual seekers, and anyone interested in holistic approaches to trauma recovery that honor both psychological understanding and spiritual dimensions. Includes valuable resources from the guest's established platform at recoveryoursole.net.
