@jbrix_art: When you grow up in fear, you learn to make yourself small. For years I called it faith, but really, it was survival. If you’ve ever had to unlearn that kind of shrinking, I’d love to hear what helped you start living whole again. 💬 #deconstruction #exvangelical #transchristian #spiritualtrauma #HealingJourney
I questioned myself my entire life. Now I’m in a place where it is safe to explore!

omg yes. being small made life so much harder, especially when the church turned on me. everything fell apart because I was tiny in a little box and a lot of the people around me were yelling and judging and hating me from their boxes when i left mine. after a while of trying to get back in the box (was kinda forced into deconstructing right after a death in the family) i realized i had to walk away and actually explore the world outside that awful little fearful place. I'm still walking. still pretty much alone, but I'm finding my people along the way.
❤️and they aren't in boxes ❤

Finding safe community has been a huge part of helping me stop hiding. Therapy also helps.

I was always a weird child that craved attention. That led to me growing into a weird pre-teen/teen that also craved attention, but hated being weird because all it seemed to get me was negative attention. As I've blossomed as an adult, I'm doing much better continuing to embrace my weirdness, which can still get me negative attention, but the positive attention I get when I get to be myself feels so much grander. Even if I don't exactly like myself, I'm happy to be me.

Exactly, I've lived that way for 60 years. Transitioning for three and a half years and finally living my true self. I only did what I thought was right at the time, but that was the patriarchy I lived in.

My breaking point was when I asked for prayer and the head pastor said “ I would pray for you but you wouldn’t receive it.” When asked how it made me feel I said “ it makes me want to end things” their response “ you just have to let it go

Know what you say !!!! This is so true. Blessed be …. you’re beautiful. I love you. I made two attempts succeeded in the second. I guess it must be that lack of fear…. we’ve been through hell it’s really enjoyable to be on the other side. Every breath is an act of prayer. I’m so grateful to be alive. I couldn’t imagine and I no longer have a memory of how it was that I survived !!!! So grateful am I to be the Lady I was always meant to be:) We will survive!!!!

Wow, you have been on a journey and still on that road. Because there is so much going on in our minds and in life, I have taken to mindfulness colouring. I create a scribble I colour in. But it colours of joy and I stroke the paper deliberately and it calms me, relaxes me and can bring a smile of joy. You are a delight to listen to but your struggles are real and may continue for some time. 🌸🌸🌸

deconstructing fear takes a lot of time. That is probably the hardest part :3
