Spirituality & Healing: The Truth About Self-Compassion and Spiritual Bypassing

Spirituality & Healing: The Truth About Self-Compassion and Spiritual Bypassing

Therapist and host, Malisa Hepner, welcomes Laura Bratton back for a deeply honest conversation about the intersection of spirituality and emotional healing. Together, they unpack the ways spirituality can either support true healing or quietly become a way to avoid it. Through personal stories and grounded insight, they explore self-compassion, authentic emotional expression, and the subtle ways spiritual bypassing can keep us disconnected from ourselves. This episode offers a refreshing perspective on how to stay rooted in your humanity while still honoring your spiritual path.

Healing isn't about rising above your emotions—it's about learning to stay with yourself inside them. True spirituality supports connection, not avoidance.
