Being 'Born-in'

Someone raised from birth within a religious system or community

• You grew up in a strict religious environment and never really knew there were other belief systems.

• You’ve always been part of the same church, so questioning it feels like questioning your entire identity.

Potential clinical implications (especially in high control settings)

• Developing a personal identity separate from the religious group may be difficult.

• Guilt or anxiety can arise when exploring unfamiliar worldviews.

• Fear of the unknown may persist due to lack of exposure to diverse perspectives.
