Rebuilding Your Identity Post-Cult

For years, they decided everything. What you believed. What you did. Even what you thought about yourself.

Now you’re out. And you face the most disorienting question of your life.

Who am I now? What do I believe? What do I do?

If you just exited and you’re reading this, you’ve already taken the hardest step. You left. However, leaving a destructive group is often just the beginning of a longer, more profound journey of self-discovery or self-improvement. Did you make an exit plan? Or were you put on the hot seat, or betrayed? Or did you have a moment of clarity and illumination and just knew you had to get out, even if you risked “burning in hell” or some other horrible fate?
