• I am having trouble making my therapist understand certain things. She thinks that I'm being too hard on myself, but she doesn't understand that I'm trying to do what's right according to our Orthodox doctrines, beliefs and morals, and that I'm not actually being too hard on myself. She says it will be hard to overcome my problems if I don't do what I want. She says I need to be my own person and I'm not a kid anymore, so there shouldn't be so many rules, imposed by parents, and even the church, especially since she thinks our Church is too unnecessarily strict. She might think that I'm not progressing. What do I do?
• My therapist believes in a “higher being” only. I would like to help her understand Christianity. Do you think it is worth trying?
