About this episode

In this episode, Dr. Cristy Carr discusses the process of healing and reconnecting with one's authentic self after trauma.

What happens when the version of you that survived… isn’t the version of you that’s whole? In Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Cristy Carr, we move deeper—beyond awareness and into the work of healing. Together, we explore what it looks like to reconnect with the parts of ourselves that were silenced, shaped, or suppressed by trauma, religious systems, and the need to belong. This episode isn’t about quick fixes or easy answers. It’s about the slow, often uncomfortable process of becoming whole again. Dr. Cristy Carr is a therapist, speaker, and author of The Forgotten Self . Her work focuses on trauma, identity formation, and helping individuals reconnect with their authentic selves—especially those navigating faith transitions and deconstruction. ❤️ Support The Show If you found this conversation meaningful, there are a few ways to support The Deconstructionists Podcast : • ⭐ Leave a rating & review • 🔁 Share this episode with someone who might need it • 👕 Check out our merch store (ships worldwide!) www.thedeconstructionists.org • 🎥 Join our Patreon for ad-free episodes, exclusive content, and educational deep dives: 👉…
