The Crazy Wound: We stopped burning witches. We started diagnosing them.
About this episode
In this episode of The Reclamation Hour, we explore the deep roots of the “crazy wound” as an evolution of the witch wound—how women’s emotions, intuition, and spirituality have been pathologized for centuries, and how we can begin to heal.
We unpack:
•The history of hysteria and how it still impacts women’s mental health today
•How systemic gaslighting undermines women’s intuition and body wisdom
•The crazy wound as a form of inherited trauma
•Why holistic, intuitive, and ritual-based care is essential for healing
•The role of shadow work in healing both personal and ancestral wounds
•The importance of support systems and community validation
•How to discern true intuition from trauma triggers
This episode is a reclamation of emotional truth, feminine wisdom, and the right to be fully human—not labeled, silenced, or sedated.
🎧 Listen now for a powerful reminder: You’re not crazy. You’re remembering.
