Part 1/9:

Woman Rising: A Journey of Healing, Empowerment, and Advocacy

Overcoming a Cult and Reframing Worth

In her candid reflection, the author shares her journey of leaving her father’s cult and the profound healing process she has undergone over the past seven years. Central to her healing was recognizing that the negative internal voice— the persistent "you're not worthy" thought—was not innate but a distorted echo of her father's influence. Surprisingly, she admits that this voice, while painful, partly fueled her determination. Believing that no one cared, she resolved to work tirelessly, striving brutally to prove her worth and counteract the damage inflicted by her upbringing.
