Relational Tension Map

[Twistie]

As a counselor who is a Christian and as a counselor who provides Christian counseling services, I many times
pray with my clients who are comfortable and also share Bible verses with those who want to hear it.

I also have asked about Jesus to nonbeliever clients as well.

I normally don't post much in the counseling forum because as a professional I do this for a living and sometimes
when I come home I don't feel like doing more counseling. Which is why I don't post here often, I often just
comment on the other Bible forums, or news, or music, or Christian evidences, etc.

I know as I professional who does marriage counseling, individual counseling,
couples counseling, family therapy, co-parenting counseling, children counseling,
and social skills group therapy, I have much experience to share having done this for 17 years

in the capacity of:
school based therapist,
school based mental health coordinator the county,
intensive outpatient coordinator of youth,
department of social services foster case supervisor of intensive case management,
clinical supervisor under the deputy director of social services
and now in private practice.

I could post on here much more, but like I said, after work sometimes I just don't feel like talking much
about counseling plus I know if I posted I would have a lot to say, a lot, because I have my
bachelors, masters, and finished doctoral courses with a 4.0 (straight As).

So I know much about what man has discovered about the mind, and I put that with the truth of God
and Jesus is the foundation and the Holy Spirit leads.

Stay blessed as always

Personally I wouldn't go to a Christian counselor my psychologist that I seen for a bit was far from Christian n understood n listen more then any other I had encountered in the past.

From my walk my experience n what I have seen with my eyes

The Christians always wanna push the meds on me n had me on over 23 pills a day at one point

So u see why I say what I say.

Sorry to hear your experience with Christian counselors was poor.

My initial question would be how many different CCs have you been to?

It might be more of a personality match up rather than something related to CCs in general.

I say this because I find that more CCs are less inclined to push meds "as compared" to the general

mental health profession because they acknowledge the power of the spiritual. So while some CCs do

refer for meds, they also see other options. Whereas the secular counselors often see less options

and are more likely to refer for meds.

Sorry to hear about your experience. I pray God continues to send the right professionals your way.

Surely God can and has used people of all walks of life to ministry to God's children.
