Atheist looking for books and help for deprogramming my own brainwashing
Decades ago I was in a massive hostage type scenario. It was super bad. I purposely used religious and psychological techniques to cope. For some reason the news keeps bringing up this event. And I got tired of it so I asked the internet to shut up and doxxed myself. Now i get jesus mail all the time. It's reminding me of all the brainwashing I did to survive. I have PTSD and yes i had tons of mental health help. Unfortunately it is hard to undo what I did to myself. I don't mean PTSD. I mean ritualism, all the stuff religion uses. I'm starting to think maybe God is real and I just invented a dumb god! How do a deprogram myself. It's causing me to have an existential crisis.
Please don't ever dox yourself, the internet sucks.
Thanks
