When siblings process religious trauma differently

My sister and I both experienced trauma in the church where we grew up but she's found healing by returning to a different congregation while I've found healing by leaving Christianity entirely. Now when we talk about recovery and meaning, we're speaking completely different languages and sometimes I feel like she thinks I'm spiritually lost.
