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.
