Ok see i was abused and neglected as a child and i am now 22 and decided to try councellin again. it only was 2 meetings my first was decideing who i needed to forgive my second was forgiving them. I think i need to have some more meetings because i have a lot of trouble on how to view love and see God as father and some trouble trusting. i had a dream a reallu long time ago that the leaders i was with took me in a room and prayed and interceeded for me and i came out healed cuz God reached inside and took out stuff and replaced it with his love. but maybe that was just what i wanted i dunno. Anyways do u think i am right in that i need more councelling or is it just between god and i?

This is a question that only you can really answer. If the past is still really controlling your present and future. Then, counseling would be helpful. If you are now feeling okay, the healing will come with time.
I say this from experience.
As a Christian, forgiveness does not mean that, any of it was okay! It just means that your at peace with it now.

I think the dream was God's way of telling you that he could do that if you sought him. I would pray to God first and seek his will before going further with counseling. He knows all. Although he knows about your dream, tell him that the events that you've expressed to us here on the site are what you'd like him to do. Believe in him, trust him, and ask him to reveal things that will allow you to know that he is helping you. This will help with your over-all trust factor. Keep your eyes, heart, and ears open. It will happen. Good luck! Happy Holidays!

Jessica,
Yes, continue with the counseling. But what you need to make sure of is that you're being FED in a good, bible teaching church.
Acts 2:42 tells us what the early believers did. It's 4 things they did, in one way.
They PERSEVERED - because there is an enemy, deliberately trying to make it hard to continue in the Christian walk.
Apostle's doctrine - reading and studying the bible
Fellowship - hang out with Christians. You will be like your friends and learn to value what they value.
Breaking of bread - the Lord's supper. Remembering what we have in Christ and what He's done for us.
Prayers - time with God. Talking to Him, listening for Him. He's always talking to us. We need to tune ourselves to Him, or we miss it.

Counseling? That will probably work great, if it tells you how to love people. God says you should love others as you love yourself, even if you're not loved back. Pray to God for additional guidance and listen to him. He will help you.

this is pastoral counseling? it coudl never hurt. go ahead and have a few more sessions. Ultimately of course it is between you and God, but don't feel alone, seek help should you need it.

God can help you through anything, but I would still suggest counseling. It can only help you. Good luck!
