Is your spiritual practice helping you grow, or helping you hide?

In this episode of the Just Be podcast, we sit down with a licensed therapist to explore the intersection of psychology and spirituality. We dive deep into the concept of spiritual bypassing—the tendency to use spiritual ideas and practices to sidestep unresolved emotional issues or psychological wounds.

In this episode, we cover:

~What spiritual bypassing actually looks like in daily life.

~The critical role of "uncomfortable" emotions in genuine spiritual practice.

~Practical ways to honor your pain as a pathway to authentic living and personal growth.
