My new t, number 2 after my long time t moved, is not what I expected. With this t I am encouraged to use prayer at times. Her bio does not state that she is a Christian therapist; however, she does describe herself as a person of faith.
I am a Christian, but I struggle with my faith, and I probably can use some help in this area. However, this is not what I had planned. The main reason I am diligent with therapy is that I am diagnosed with bipolar, and my pdoc thinks it is wise that I stay in therapy.
I find that I appreciate the stimulation of my brain with the discussion of faith, but I am not sure if this is what I need. I really like this therapist. I don't want to leave her, but I am not sure that she supports the fact that I should be taking all of the meds that I am prescribed. I remember a session recently when she suggested that there are vitamins or herbs that can treat bp.
I know that some of you include discussion of faith with your therapy, and I wonder how this helps or hinders your progress.
Thanks for any input!
