Has Anyone Had A Christian Therapist

[sonicwhite]

Ah man, that does not sound good. Therapist are hard to find. This one has the credentials to be a therapist so I mean she know other ways. I just believe this is what I needed but I'm going to ask her how to help with nightmares. That alone is one of my worst symptoms.

Hi, I'm completely new to this.

I've been seeing a Christian therapist for 4 years now. My experience with him has been very good with mutual respect and honesty. He has strong convictions and does believe in the healing power of God, however I've been and am being treated with cognitive behavioral therapy. If I don't want to talk about spiritual things, he respects it and the topic never comes up. If I ask a question, he'll answer. He respects boundaries.

I think there are many well intentioned Christian therapists who have studied and practice their beliefs. Unfortuanetly sometimes the best intentions are not always the most helpful. I've had a few encounters with some.

I'm sorry if I've offended anyone. Please forgive me if I have. I have PTSD and can relate to and empathize with what a painful and horrible journey this is.

Been in Christian councelling about 15 years. I'm thankful for her. I don't know what my life would have been like without.
She anoints my forehead afterwards. But doesn't tell me I'm chosen. That to me says "new agey" is she a legit Christian councelling? Be on guard. "Not all who talk about Jesus are from God. There are false prophets." And in knowing that pray about this person and ask God for discernment.

King James Bible
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

Yes I prayed hard that God would heal me of my affliction....She is from God. We all have sin in our lives. And she just wants me to know there are other ways to get better.


I haven't been to church in over a year. So she was the first Christian person I saw throughout that period. I really don't know her denomination but I'm certain but like you said I will pray for discernment.
