I loved reading every word of this! My therapist recently told me she sometimes cries with her patients and I’ve now made it my mission to get her to cry with me 🤣 (tell me you’re a high achieving oldest daughter trying to win therapy without telling me…) but really, it can be so powerful when someone feels your emotions with you without making it about themselves. I have no doubt you do this beautifully in your work. 🤍

Kristina, not only is this so very well-written, but it is powerful. Loved every word. Resonated with so much of it (esp church stuff). Thank you for writing this!

Kristina, thank you for putting a voice and compelling words to so many layers. I loved this piece and felt truly seen, as a current “church shopper” and starting to feel like I might never find the right one, this one spoke to that confused, aggravated place in my heart.
