"I felt quite a lot of depression while in the church. It just seemed to
grow over time. Once I de-converted it was like a weight was lifted off of
me! I was also somewhat of an angry person while in the church and this
seemed to intensify over time. However, when I left that life, I lost my
anger! That which the Bible promised (freedom) is what I found when I left
the faith! "

This site is our effort to create a collection of resources andservices that may be helpful to people who are in the process ofrecovering from harmful religious indoctrination. If you are in the middle of this difficult process, please know thatyou are not alone. Many others have successfully left authoritarianreligion, and help is available.

A team of about a dozen of us are currently organizing and redesigning RecoveryFromReligion.org into a new content-rich site that will replace this current placeholder.  We will havemessages of hope and information about how to recover and thrive. Resources will be listed for counseling, groups, retreats, events, andmaterials helpful to the recovery process. 

Quite a few excellent websites already exist that offer testimonials and theological debates. We believe that in addition to the intellectual work needed to get free of old beliefs, there are psychological and interpersonal areas of growth that need attention. The new recoveryfromreligion.org will emphasize pathways to health. 

Building this resource is an exciting but sizeable task with many opportunities for people to help (not just web designers!). If you would like to be notified about upcoming conference calls and opportunities to help with this effort, contact ryan wadsworth: 510.712.6422 or ryanrain@gmail.com">ryanrain@gmail.com
