leaving the church

I was talking with my counselor yesterday. (Yes, I’m going through therapy like anyone going through major transitions should. In fact, I endorse having someone you can talk with on a regular basis no matter how healthy you think you are.) After a while she pointed out that I still have a lot of disappointment and maybe even some anger about the church. She suggested that I’m still “infected with the virus” and that I still have more work to do.

I know. This older cartoon points that out. It isn’t easy leaving something we are so enmeshed in. Plus there are powerful forces at work, not just our own, attempting to keep us enmeshed.

To want to break free is the first step. To finally break free is the next. To heal from the years of atrophy is the longest work.

Just email me if you want to talk. My fees are reasonable and adjustable.
