Who Am I

Who am I? This is a challenging question for people after leaving religion. Oftentimes a person comes out of religion trying to figure out the simplest things about themself. They have gone from being “controlled” and taught how to think, feel, what to say, and how to act. If the person has been in the church a long time then this challenge can feel greater. I know that this can feel like a daunting task and that there is trauma but let me off some words of encouragement.

You get to start over. This can be exciting because you can be whomever you want.

You get to truly experience real freedom.

New friends! Although scary this aspect can help you find friendships that are true.

Release of overbearing guilt for everything.

An opportunity to find true love.

Starting over can be challenging. However, loving and discovering your true self is a journey with many benefits and joy. Don’t give up. You can do this! You don’t have to do this alone.
