I was nervous about reading this and I admit, I wrote too much to read this morning. I’ve just skimmed my comments and fully read others. Still, it’s been interesting to see my thought process 6-7 years ago. This was all so fresh and understandably traumatic at the time. I had just realized the Lords Recovery met too many of the requirements of being a destructive cult. I was fascinated with learning cult psychology and using the BITE model to examine my experiences. I’ve grown so much but I still have love for this earnest hurting woman I was when I basically journaled my every thought on here. Thank you for the community. Looking back, I can see how important this was to my healing. Just to be validated after decades of gas-lighting is so affirming. If you’re newly out, be gentle on yourself. It takes time and tears- as my favorite therapist Diane Langberg has said.
