10 Signs of Spiritual Bypassing and How to Reverse It

If you haven’t heard the term before, a spiritual bypasser is someone who prematurely jumps to the spiritual side of things in order to avoid dealing with their own unresolved emotions, memories and healing.

A spiritual bypasser is someone who hasn’t done the inner work to make their outside their inside and because of this, that persons spirituality manifests itself only externally preventing internal, personal, and authentic growth — such as unconditional love and tolerance for others.

Bypassers can also be viewed as “fanatics”. These are people who fall in love with the idea of spirituality, or the idea of religion without doing any of the real work themselves.
