Episode 7 begins to unpack the repercussions of engaging in counterfeit sex and intimacy upon our body, soul and spirit! There are so many repercussions of experiencing sex and intimacy outside of God’s Biblical framework which impact us on every level of our being! In this episode I address the negative impact that becoming one flesh and cleaving to someone in close emotional and sexual intimacy, can have on our psyche and how this then affects our brain and neurology particularly during a break up when our brain begins to experience the withdrawal of detaching from someone you had a soul tie with! I also talk about how to break soul ties which is something I get asked ALOT! And I also offer some spiritual and practical advice on emotionally and mentally dealing with counterfeit attachments. It’s a deep sesh but one that I hope is really helpful!! Episode References:https://www.cbc.ca/life/wellness/broken-heart-broken-brain-the-neurology-of-breaking-up-and-how-to-get-over-it-1.4608785https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/the-squeaky-wheel/201801/3-surprising-ways-heartbreak-impacts-your-brainhttps://www.insider.com/why-do-breakups-hurt-so-much-2019-2Dealing with Sexual Sin in the Church, Bill Johnson, YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gfayw-wvE318http://dictionaryofchristianese.com/soul-ties Detoxing Your Mind: An Interview With Dr. Caroline Leaf https://youtu.be/Ea8pHeetkgoHooked: New Science on How Casual Sex is Affecting Our Children.
