How do I explain my spiritual journey to others?
Communication & Conflict
Explaining spiritual changes requires setting boundaries about what you're willing to discuss and being prepared for various reactions from others.
Explaining your spiritual journey to others can be challenging because people often have strong reactions to religious or spiritual changes. You don't owe anyone a detailed explanation of your beliefs or the reasons for your changes. Decide in advance what you're comfortable sharing and with whom. Some people will be supportive, others may be confused or even hostile. Remember that their reaction says more about them than about you, and you have the right to keep your spiritual journey private if you choose.
