Episode 309 - Dr. Alison Cook, "Navigating Emotions and Faith"
Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick
Concept of Spiritual Bypassing
The concept of spiritual bypassing involves spiritualizing problems or painful feelings to avoid dealing with them directly. This behavior, commonly seen in Christian settings, can hinder individuals from effectively working through their issues. Instead of acknowledging true feelings of anger, frustration, or distance from God, individuals may use phrases like 'I'll just trust God' or 'I'll let go and let God' as a way to bypass their genuine emotions. The essence of spiritual bypassing lies in the notion that God doesn't expect individuals to gaslight themselves or ignore their true feelings. It emphasizes the importance of honesty and authenticity in one's spiritual relationship, highlighting the need to address true emotions rather than circumvent them.
