Reconstruction
Building new beliefs or spiritual practices after leaving or questioning your old faith
You started exploring new ways of connecting with the divine.
You picked pieces from different traditions that felt true to you.
You decided which values you want to keep and which to let go of.
Potential clinical implications (especially in high control settings)
Ambivalence or doubt may accompany new exploration.
Support may be needed to process beliefs without external pressure.
Finding safe spiritual or social community may prove challenging.
