Religion, Beliefs, Trauma & Finding Oneself

As a child, she was petrified the ground would open and swallow her at any moment. Liza-Jane Sowden grew up in a Jehovah’s Witnesses household. Everything ‘worldly’, that is, not of ‘the faith’, was considered dangerous and a threat to one’s entering infinite paradise - including people.

She kept her upbringing a secret until now. In this episode, Liza generously and courageously opens the door for us to catch a glimpse of her upbringing and the effect it had on her. In her own words: “I have throughout my life experienced high functioning anxiety, perfectionism, imposter syndrome and real-life challenges and events that culminated in panic attacks, depression, poor health and self-sabotaging behaviours professionally and personally.”

Liza-Jane has overcome these trauma symptoms through TRTP™ and is now a practitioner herself. She also happens to be one of the most big-hearted, loving, life-loving people I’ve ever met.

Top-down and bottom up processing. We all do both, but when we process predominantly in one of the two ways, things can get tricky. Gaining an understanding of this allows us to become more objective about our experience, less likely to ‘make up’ stories, and helps us cultivate an ability to find equipoise. Sound good?
