Tia Levings discusses her new book, 'I Belong to Me,' as a guide for trauma recovery and identity rebuilding after escaping Christian patriarchy. She explains how purity culture and early indoctrination stunted her autonomy, leading her into a high-control system. The conversation covers the lasting damage of purity culture, the science behind trauma responses like fawning and dissociation, and the importance of body-based therapies like EMDR and Brainspotting. Tia also addresses taking accountability for her role in harmful systems, reframing expectations as personal boundaries, and rebuilding inner integrity and trust in intuition. She emphasizes the value of deconstruction and using moral imagination to envision a future beyond cult life, offering hope and practical guidance for survivors.
