E 215: Healing the Nervous System After Control, Fear, and Religious Trauma: Guest Brigette Gildemaster

05 Sep 2025

Description

What happens when the belief system you were raised in not only strips away your identity but also leaves you vulnerable to dangerous relationships? In this raw and powerful episode, Brigette Gildemaster — 2x best-selling author, speaker, and trauma-informed breathwork facilitator — shares her journey of escaping a high-control marriage with a husband who was a pedophile, and the courageous fight to protect her children within a church system that often silenced her truth.Brigette opens up about the hidden aftermath of leaving: the anxiety, the people-pleasing, and the constant fear of “doing something wrong” that no one warns you about when you walk away from high-control belief systems. She reflects on the tension between victimhood and agency, how self-reflection became her lifeline, and what it truly means to reclaim your own authority after years of being conditioned to stay small.We explore:Why leaving isn’t the hardest part — surviving the aftermath is.What it means to stand in your own authority after spiritual abuse.The lies women are told about safety, and how to unlearn them.How to start the healing journey when you’re stuck in the “in-between.”This conversation is for anyone untangling the spirals of fear, shame, and control — and ready to step into wholeness, safety, and freedom.✨ Connect with Brigette:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brigettemay.gildemaster/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brigette_gildemaster/?hl=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQyVDtNxDNwWMCFfLeJWFUgBlog: https://brigettegildemaster.com/featuresPodcast: https://brigettegildemaster.com/podcastComing SIoon To Cocoa Village, FLorida:My daughter , Jessica and I are pleased to invite you to the Radiant Women Wellness Weekend.
