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.
