Your therapist is also a sinner and bad things will happen to him and he may repent, but bad things will still happen. There is nothing biblical about that statement and it's terrible, too. I have NEVER had a therapist say something like that to me and I have been in therapy for 16 years. Please do not imagine that is normal. I did have an untrained pastor say horrible judgy things like that, though. It's not religion: it's bad people with too much self-esteem/arrogance. I have had a lot of pretty nasty trauma and traumatic responses and truthfully, the single most helpful thing I have done is EMDR therapy. If you can find a way to do that, I would strongly encourage you to look in that direction. It is hard, but worthwhile for sure. At the very least, a trauma therapist seems like a better fit than a Christian counselor for sexual issues. I say that as a Christian, too. It is unfortunate, but people are quite confused about where their poor reading/interpretation ends and Christianity actually starts and/or they really are sent by the devil to make religion look bad and are doing a damn fine job of it, too. I hope you can find some relief very soon.</blockquote>
