Sometimes our religious views come close to matching with others' and sometimes they are at extreme odds. If you are in psychotherapy with someone of a religious bent, who includes religion in their therapeutic stance, you probably should find someone with as close a religious worldview as your own, just as you have to find an emotional and psychological personality in the therapist that is agreeable to your own?
I would be okay if she would just respect my worldview. For the most part, our worldviews coincide. It seems that the main issue is over the "errancy/inerrancy" of the Bible.

T told me long ago that she can leave spirituality out of her therapy completely if that is what a person wants. That may need to happen.

Actually H is right (loathe to admit it ). I disagree with her chioces. She did kind of backtrack before. But I think you deserve someone who stops slipping on hats that serve THEM and not YOU.
The voodoo doll made me laugh out loud. I'd like one too. Actually, I'd like to poke her with a stick right now!
