🧵 Let’s talk spiritual bypassing. You may have experienced it when you hear things like, "You shouldn't be sad, at least they are in heaven now" OR "God has a plan" OR "If you'd just pray and read your Bible more, you wouldn't be depressed." 1/4 Image But we also do it to ourselves, as a way to avoid unpleasant emotions.
