Leaving the Fold: A Guide for Former Fundamentalists and Others Leaving Their Religion by Marlene Winell
5.0
Really, really helpful, I didn’t know I needed help in this area until I stumbled across someone talking about religious trauma on YouTube.
Wow I was really indoctrinated and even though I never really even believed, the guilt I carried because I couldn’t has weighed on me my whole life. This book helped me unpack and sort through a lot of feelings of guilt and shame that I never could understand or logic my way out of.
I will say that I couldn’t bring myself to get behind a lot of the inner child activities, I understand it and will work on re-parenting myself and nurturing the child in me who was neglected, but for example- I will not be buying a doll to represent myself and take around with me ☺️
