One Christian counseler I used to go to would tell me to sit with my eyes closed and keep telling myself that I never went through the things that I did. It was always about me not reading the right scriptures at the rite time, me not praying enough or correctly, not going to the right church or not going enough, not giving enough money to the church, I wasn't being submissive enough to my abusive husband, that all my problems would go away if I forgave him for beating the crap out of me, etc. It was never about actually helping me.
