S3E10 Somatic Healing for Trauma Survivors: A Catholic Path to Restoration with Sr. Mary Stephen

Friends,

In this episode, I welcome Sr. Mary Stephen, founder of Restorative Catholic, to explore a restorative path forward for trauma survivors within the Catholic tradition. Sr. Mary Stephen shares how her vocation within a vocation led her to integrate somatic healing with Catholic spirituality, creating spaces where wounded hearts can safely encounter healing from the inside out.

We discuss how trauma is stored in the body, why traditional spiritual practices sometimes fall short for trauma survivors, and how somatic pilgrimages can help restore trust, presence, and peace.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, your faith, or yourself after painful experiences within religious spaces, this episode invites you to consider a path of restoration rooted in compassion, embodiment, and grace.
