Last week we talked all about harm reduction. But we don’t want you to just go from hurting to numb- we want you to get you all the way to thriving! And for this you really gotta lean in and parse out what exactly you want, what exactly you are feeling. Previous faith communities might have made you feel isolated and alone, but there may also have been moments of joy and love. What are those things? Can you name them and bring them out? It’s so important to recognize the nuance and how the places we came from that might have hurt us, can be complicated and multifaceted. You can reclaim some of that joy while also keeping strong boundaries in place. And, while we are talking about religion or churches that might have caused harm, this can be a really healthy practice you can apply beyond rebuilding a spiritual home.
