In 2020, I left a fundamentalist Christian community which belonged to the High Control Religion "Newfrontiers" in the UK. Over the last four years, I have been unravelling my life, my experiences, my beliefs, my trauma and started to rebuild my life into something that I recognise as authentic and peaceful.
As part of that journey, I have rediscovered my love of writing. And this is a space to write about everything to do with my faith deconstruction journey.
The first thing I need to get off my chest, and something that weighs on my heart, is how my previous actions will have hurt people. So, please consider this blog post an open letter to anyone and everyone I may have hurt along the way to where I am now.
Hi, I'm Bethany and I grew up in a High Control Religion in the UK, "Newfrontiers". This terminology is new for me, as is the idea that I suffered religious trauma. But I have spent the last two years discussing everything in therapy and focussed on rebuilding my sense of self. In this space, I will be writing about my experiences, what I have learned and how I am rebuilding my life.
Please note; I am not a trained therapist in any way shape or form; I am just a writer. If you are struggling or needing support, please make contact with counsellors or therapists who can help you.
