2.8 Why Church Hurt Keeps People Out of Therapy
Manage episode 461572941 series 3506894
We dig into the crucial differences between Licensed Professional Counselors (LCPs) and pastoral counselors, addressing how negative church experiences can deter people from seeking effective therapy. Inspired by a listener's traumatic encounter with an unlicensed "counselor" who imposed detrimental contractual agreements, we delve into avoiding harmful mental healthcare experiences. We discuss essential questions to ask and emphasize seeking appropriate care: just as you wouldn't consult a church for a broken leg, mental health concerns require qualified professionals.
