What if your experience isn’t the whole story?
Jun 30, 2026
If you were sitting in my consulting room today, this probably isn't where I'd start.
I wouldn't begin by asking about your symptoms.
I'd begin by asking about your story.
Because sometimes the greatest source of stress isn't what happened to us—it's the meaning we've carried ever since.
In this week's episode of Master Stress with Dr S, we explore a conversation that medicine rarely makes space for: belief, belonging, and the impact they have on our health.
For many people, spirituality feels comforting.
For others, it feels complicated.
Perhaps it reminds you of shame.
Control.
Disappointment.
Or a version of faith that never felt safe.
If that's true for you, I want you to know this conversation isn't about convincing you to believe anything.
It's about creating enough space to ask:
What if the way something was delivered isn't the same as its true essence?
Together, we explore what research says about religious trauma, why spirituality continues to emerge as a protective factor for health, and how we can approach these conversations with curiosity rather than fear.

Because healing often begins when we stop asking,
"Who's right?"
...and start asking,
"What's helping me become more whole?"
