When 'Just Pray About It' Is Spiritual Gaslighting
When someone uses God, scripture, or spiritual authority to silence your questions — that's not faith. That's spiritual gaslighting. In this live stream, counselor and author Elisha walks through three signs your perception is still intact (even after years of being told you were wrong), and teaches the R.E.S.T. Check — a real-time somatic discernment practice you can use in conversations to trust your body's signals again.
If you've ever been told "just pray about it" when you were trying to name something that hurt you, this video is for you. Your body has been telling the truth the whole time.
