SteelMagnoliainTexas Posted July 2, 2022 Posted July 2, 2022 We are so inclined to send everyone running to a therapist when people can't or won't discuss the basic topics. Excuse me I don't need to see a therapist . Why do people discuss anything here at all. Clearly if we have to discuss any of these issues here we could all go to our own communities and find "professionals". So why not close down all social media and send everyone to our individual churches in our own communities. Maybe I've had to deal with this lately but y'all act as if I asked some dark sexual unreasonable question. And no I'm not going to go spend $100 to sit 1 hour with a stranger when I could discuss it here....for free....I thought? And it's because so many Christians in so many places are so biassed and jealous. I'd much rather get support from people I don't even know rather than spending $$$ to ask the same question to another total stranger or risk further isolation and judgement amount all the gossips out there....who will use it for their entertainment.

Has it occurred to you that you might learn from a therapist how to get the people you want to talk with you to do so? They might be able to help you identify what you might have control to change so that others will respond to you differently. Yes the $100 may be impossible for you. But plenty of people will call theirs the best $100 they ever spent. And the previous poster is correct that we don't really use this forum for what you are asking here. Sorry if that upsets you.
Popular Post MustardSeed Posted July 2, 2022 Popular Post Posted July 2, 2022 If someone has suggested therapy in a rude snarky way, that's not Ok. However if someone has recommended it due to what sounds like a victim mentality, or due to inappropriate social interaction, these things are very effectively treated by a licensed mental health counselor. Counselors are trained and legally bound to hold your confidentiality. This is not actually a site where you will get the type of help you are seeking. This is an intellectual deep dive in to theory, faith, scriptural deciphering and (tbh) mostly religious debate. It appears you are looking for friendship and help with personal issues. You will likely continue to be frustrated here. I agree that a therapist might help you with the things I mentioned above. I sincerely hope you can find what you need, if not through therapy. But, I don't think you'll find it here - this place is structured for something much different. If you want to eliminate your personal issues and simply discuss issues that we all can relate to regarding being members of the COJCOLDS, you will find that you will be much more engaging. I hope that makes sense. 6

I wasn't asking for a therapist. I was wanting to talk about it with the church rather than go to the church and discuss it where I'm already a barbaric old youth corrupter. If we can discuss to verses wade we should be able to discuss this subject also.
SteelMagnoliainTexas Posted July 2, 2022 Author Posted July 2, 2022 But yes I could learn from a therapist and I could learn from other church members also.

Well by yes I have recently swayed from popular opinion and I now think for myself.
