It doesn't surprise me. I can see how a negative spin might be placed on it, but...
I can't really explain what I'm thinking, and when I try it doesn't come out at all right.
Do you ever leave your house without a watch? I always feel so lost without a watch. I notice for myself, and with some of the people of faith that I know, that belief in God can be something like a watch. It somehow helps me place myself in the universe. It's orienting.
That could be a helpful conjunct to treatment, I'd think.
But then I also think that when I'm most depressed, it's harder for me to maintain spirituality. So in some ways, for me at least, therapy would need to help some first.
