Belief Disorientation

A state of confusion when previous core beliefs no longer make sense or feel reliable

• You no longer know what you actually believe—or why.

• You oscillate between faith and disbelief, unsure which side you're on.

• You feel like you're betraying your past self by questioning.

Potential clinical implications (especially in high control settings)

• Identity disturbance may occur as a result of conflicting beliefs or experiences.

• Difficulty with decision-making can arise due to a loss of moral clarity.

• Increased vulnerability to manipulation or coercion could emerge during times of transition.
