-first disclaimer...i don't mean to offend ANYONE here who feels religion is an appropriate means of therapy...cuz for some it may be just what they need...however i don't feel this approach is for me.
ok, so i went back to the "too close" lady tuesday night and she TOTALLY Freaked me out!
i talked for about 5 MAAAYbe 10 min altogether, mentioned my bad dreams and she ended up talking for about an hour. she went OFF on the harry potter books, now i know there was a big conflict about them...but she started in on how these books are evil and have to do with wicthcraft and how the lady who wrote them is heavily into witchcraft and these books and certain music LEad satan into your life and how satan puuuuuullls us in using these and how i need to pray for help, pray for recovery from my illness, pray that i WANT to be 'saved' and that (at the end of session) i should read from the bible everynight. when i left she handed me a booklet on getting closer to christ.now...
1. i left, STUNNED. sat in my car for about 5 min laughing thinking what the f@4k just happened???2.i understand she is in private practice, so she has the freedom to use any approach she feel appropriate. i'm fine with that.
3.from what i understand of the wicken religion it is Very peaceful and not 'what's on TV or in harry potter books.
4.of course things we read or watch on TV may effect our dreams, but i'm not going to start sacrificing babies cuz i listen to hard rock. (as she mentioned one of her former clients almost did and how she "saved" her by turning her closer to God).
5.I want all you babblers to know that i Do COMPLETELY respect all religions. It's not that i'm turned off by talk of God or such...but WOW-it came out of no where! and the whole satan going to steal my soul and stuff, and a whole Hour!!!
All i can say is....wow.
i told one of my friends about this and she said i should send Her a bill for My time ;^)-what an experience.
