Ep. 043 – From Codependence to Christ-Dependence: Embodied Redemption – Healing Attachment & Codependency in Your Nervous System: Whole Life Podcast Relaunch
What if your nervous system could learn to feel safe with God… not just in your head, but in your body?
In this episode, Dr. Barbara Jean Lowe Sauvé unpacks “embodied redemption”—how Jesus heals attachment wounds underneath codependency and literally calms the nervous system. Drawing from Scripture, attachment science, physics, and trauma research, she shows how codependency is unhealthy entrainment to other people’s emotions, and how healing is entrainment to the peace of Jesus.
Share this episode with someone whose body still braces for danger—and help them discover Jesus as their secure attachment.
