• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I've been having a few issues with my therapist not the least of which is that she is not a Christian and so she just doesn't "get" certain things. I love her dearly, I really do, but felt the need to have someone else supporting me more from a Biblical perspective.

Anyways since I've been "clean" for over 4 months now I feel little more comfortable w/ a lay person. And so I asked someone in my church if they'd meet w/ me like once or twice a month and they said emphatically yes.

The coolest part about all this is that I'll be really talking about the "core" issues now instead of the symptoms...and thus really getting to the heart of things. For example, my lack of trust, my inablity to speak honestly about my feelings (atleast verbally), my pain from the death of my dad. Stuff like that.

So it is a real answer to prayer, i was brave enough to ask and they were willing.:clap:
