How to Pick a Therapist
When it comes to navigating the bevy of credentials, certifications, specializations, and licenses, finding a good counselor or therapist can be daunting. Even with all the degrees and letters aside, there are many practical, ideological, and relational dynamics that may help you narrow your search.
Three Reasons to See a Counselor
Though the idea of going to therapy is starting to be more acceptable, questions about the details of seeing a therapist remain. When should you see one? How should you choose one? How will you know what to talk about, and will you just be sitting there awkwardly trying to figure it out?
Spiritual Abuse and Counseling
Spiritual Abuse is likely one of the most subtle, profound, and widespread types of trauma in the world. One need look no further than their closest congregation, parish, or temple to find a history of victimization in the name of God. Movies, news stories, rumors, and memes all illustrate ways in which God's power is invoked in an attempt to coerce, manipulate, or otherwise harm the very people that have dedicated their lives to following him.
