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.
