Dinah Others--Religion in Therapy

Posted by HannahW on September 13, 2003, at 22:43:14

Dinah--After reading The Source made you a firm agnostic, how did you move beyond that to a faith you're comfortable with? How long did it take, and what prompted the change?
I catch myself praying a lot before I remember, "Oh, yeah, I don't believe that anymore." I miss believing, and I want to believe. I just don't want to believe because I NEED to think there is Someone in control, I want to believe in something I'm convinced is TRUE. I'm interested in hearing the process you went through.
Has anyone ever talked about faith (or the lack thereof) with your therapists? I'm considering it, but I can't imagine that she will be of much help. I'm pretty sure she's not a Christian--at least not a practicing one. So I'm not sure how well she would be able to help me sort it out. Does anyone have any experience with this?
