SP, in my experience T has been helpful about matters around religious practice and belief and so on, even when there are certain aspects he doesn't "get". I think we can accept that a T is not there to help with the ins and outs of what we believe or don't believe and why. It's not their remit. But I have found that my T can certainly help clarify things to do with our boundaries, relationships with others, self esteem and so on, and then this makes things clearer and easier to deal with.

In my opinion I think it would be good to speak to T about the situation with the church, because it sounds like the situation had an important impact on you.
