520 |a Individuals raised in restrictive religious groups are taught narrow assumptions. To question these beliefs is emotionally difficult, intellectually challenging and relationally isolating – and to reject them is to lose part of their identity, violate the norms of their faith communities and invalidate key principles of their families of origin. In this paper I share part of my autobiography and offer theological and psychological principles for pastoral and spiritual care of disenfranchised doubt for individuals rethinking what they were raised to believe. I utilize a holistic theological anthropology and emphasize multi-dimensional pastoral counseling to address the intrapersonal and interpersonal aspects of doubt and deconversion.
