"You're exhausted by the constant management of your inner and outer worlds. That’s not failure. That’s fatigue from surviving in a false identity."

PIMO here, not really in a position for therapy. I had an interaction with ChatGPT that included the title as a response. I know it's just a complex algorithm with a mish-mash of stored information behind it, but it does help a little to have some validation.

I won't post more details, but my prompt was:

Hi Chat, your role is that of a therapist, with a specialty in religious trauma. Your subject is an individual who is part of a high-control religion, who no longer believes the doctrine, but who is socially held hostage to it by strict rules for shunning former members. The religion scores very high on the BITE model for high control groups.

You should ask questions, one at a time, to feel out the subject's challenges and opportunities, with the goal of improving their outlook and to plan an exit from the group that is as peaceful as possible.
