This all happened many years ago. I don't "do" therapy anymore. This is one of the several things that kept popping up from when I was in therapy and I guess never resolved...

Your comment on the counselor thinking on the terms of an Islamic symbol got me to thinking that it is unusual that a cross with Jesus on it could be bought in Iran, considering Iran is a Muslim country. They do believe in Jesus except they do not believe Jesus to be the Son of God. I don't think they believe in the crucifixion. So it is interesting she bought this necklace in Iran. Off topic again.. oops

I should have questioned him when I was in therapy. Just I was not "thinking clearly" then and most everything overwhelmed me.
