What happens when you're taught from childhood that your body can't be trusted? In this video, Britt Hartley explores how Christian doctrine—particularly original sin, purity culture, and patriarchal teachings—can create a lifelong disconnect between people and their bodies. Using a viral video of a father preaching to his infant daughter as a starting point, she examines how these beliefs can shape emotional development, sexuality, intuition, anger, and identity long after someone leaves Christianity. This discussion covers religious deconstruction, purity culture, body shame, original sin, women's experiences in Christianity, emotional health, intuition, sexuality, and religious trauma. Whether you're questioning your faith, recovering from spiritual abuse, or interested in the psychology of religion, this video offers a thoughtful perspective on why reconnecting with your body can become one of the most important parts of healing after deconstruction.
