A Christian Therapist, I believe would make all the difference....He/she will be more understanding of where you are coming from. A person with no Christian convictions will follow basic counselling techniques and they are not usually based on Christian beliefs. A person who has studied psychology, has studied how the human brain operates, and in psychology it is believed the human brain has evolved. When I studied psychology...I asked what if you dont believe in evolution....I was told for the sake of this class and getting good marks pretend I do. Although a good therapist should be accepting of your values. Therapy is not about telling a person what to do, its about the person helping themselves...they are only there for guidance and support. And if you do go and see a regular therapist, you must tell them of your Christian beliefs and how important it is to you....Like I said a good therapist will be understanding and respect your beliefs.

No.
My sisnlaw was told by a christian therapist that it was ok to date while she was still married (though in process of divorce).
So actually a non-christian therapist will likely be a better choice.
The above therapist said it was ok because in her heart & soul she was divorced anyway. Thats not the point.
Soul or otherwise its wrong.

Hi tell you a joke, hope this will cheer you up. It goes:
-Doctor! I have a serious problem, I can never remember what i just said.
-When did you first notice this problem?
-What problem?
Hope you like it. Be happy everyday.
I need to go to level 4. Help me and vote for me and I will vote for you also! Thanks! :-)
One more joke:
A guy calls his vet and says "What should I do with my cat?Vet says "What do you mean? Guy says "I had a leak in my lawnmowers gas tank and the cat drank the gas. Then the cat began to run around and around the yard, climbed a tree. then fell out of the tree stiff. Vet says "Is the cat dead? Guy replies "nope he ran out of gas.
Just be yourself and care for the people around you. When you love and care for the others, others will also show you the same love. Just don't give up!!

when seeking a therapist, you should not look at religion, if that is important to you then talk to your priest. Therapists are trained professionals.
