In this episode, I explore the concept of spiritual bypassing, a term coined by Clinical Psychologist John Welwood in the 1980s. I discuss how spiritual practices can sometimes be used to avoid facing unresolved emotional issues and trauma, particularly in the context of religious observance. Drawing from personal experiences and biblical references, I delve into the dangers of disordered religiosity and how it can hinder true forgiveness, spiritual growth, and healing. Join me as I uncover ways to cultivate a genuine relationship with God that embraces suffering and leads to holistic healing.
