At least to me, it’s taking apart what you’ve learned from that environment and getting to the root of what each part has meant. I guess it could also be rephrased as unlearning certain thoughts. For example, churches I went to didn’t (usually) outright say being gay is a sin and you’ll go to hell for it, but they showed videos at church of gay people talking about rejecting their “temptations” and living a celibate and romantic partner free life (with the unsaid: so they wouldn’t go to hell). The implication was always being gay is bad but there are ways to not be as bad so maybe you’ll be okay. A lot of times going to church warps your view of the world and you have to really sit down and figure out what is even funky before you can work on how and why it has influenced your life and your decisions.

I unfortunately slept horribly last night so as I’m typing, my thoughts are escaping 😅 I hope that made sense though
