Retelling Amplifies Spiritual Risk

  • Retelling a dark past repeatedly detaches the story from Christ and feeds emotionality that demons exploit.
  • Dan Schneider and Jesse Romero warn that high-emotion retelling empowers the diabolic rather than true healing.
ADVICE

Focus On Response Not Details

  • Avoid focusing on the event itself; focus on your response, virtues needed, and how you'd act now with knowledge you have.
  • Use confession to state kind and number of sins without lurid details and pursue sacramental healing instead of public retelling.

Demons Tailor Temptations To Your History

  • St. Augustine teaches demons tailor temptations to a person's history, making personal wounds especially vulnerable.
  • Dan links semiotics to how signs from our past gain hostile significance in spiritual temptation.
