### P1.1 Introducing the Roadmap If you are in the process of leaving, or have left, a coercive, cultic and/or spiritually abusive group or relationship, you may be wondering how to move forward in your life. As a result of your membership, you may feel confused, distressed, lost and that you are carrying a lot of heavy baggage. You want to feel better and recover from your difficult experiences but don't know which way to go to process and empty out your baggage. [I'm not sure whether to change the words regarding "membership" to apply more to various forms of political influence. It seems most honest to copy it verbatim but makes some dissonance.] The Roadmap illustrates a journey that you can take, passing through four Regions and by 15 Milestones. Each Milestone is an opportunity to explore an aspect of your experience, unpack some of your baggage and move on, feeling a little lighter. [Illustrations: A full 2-page spread of illustrated map. The path begins in the lower left with Region 1. A small pine tree is growing and the bird is watching the character haul a huge bulky bag past a milestone labeled M1: LEAVING. ...[there's more text to the section after the maps. i guess i'm conflicted around typing a description of the whole path]
