Wise Counsel and Good Therapy
Dear Selfless Esteem, Lately I've been disgruntled seeing therapists put on pedestals when they've given unwise guidance. I believe the Bible is the Ultimate Truth & authority over any degree. I have gone to Christian therapists, who have guided me against what the Bible says. I have friends who think the degree gives therapists the ultimate source of wisdom with life and relationships. I see them as humans who come with their own life experiences and perspectives as well. How does one decipher wise counsel? Signed, Therapist Trouble Tune in for the answer.

How to Handle When Your Child Favors the Other Parent
Dear Selfless Esteem, My 2.5-year-old daughter prefers her dad / my husband over me. I thought it was just a phase, but it's been this way for over a year. I'm her primary caregiver but he's home often. I make sure to play with her, and I'm the only one to take her on outings like the library and such, but when she gets upset or hurt, she only wants dada for comfort. She wants to leap out of my arms to him always. It makes me so sad. Why is this happening? He's such an incredible dad but I wish she wanted us equally.
