I have seen with delight the way in which religion, when properly practised, helps people live a contented, healthy, and fulfilled life. But we are all aware of people who have done something totally unholy using their religion; those we call fanatics, people who fit in with shady cults, and so forth. Indeed one of the main reasons people dislike religious cults is that often, their leaders victimize the vulnerable, whose lives get destroyed in the process, as documented within the press over the last many years.
So, would you be happy to send a vulnerable person to such a fanatic? Would you trust a spiritual fanatic with matters of your mind?
Obviously, we must first define this is of fanatic. There is a massive difference between a professional therapist who is a pious god-loving person and somebody that twists religion to justify their judgement of others. If this is a psychotherapist, psychiatrist, or counsellor, it can be scary. A mental health worker can't be fanatical about anything whilst carrying out the work they do. Therapy is exist for the client find their own solutions (not imposed solutions that suit the therapist), and are available to a place of peace. Plus some would say that surely if a mental health worker were properly trained, they would know to keep their opinions and emotions out of the therapy. And that is exactly the perfect.
I was helping a vulnerable and suicidal client who had been also seeing a counsellor. I known as the counsellor every now and then in order to make sure i was helping the client in the most effective way together. This very vulnerable and suicidal client had the utmost rely upon the counsellor. However, I was not happy about the way the counsellor seemed to be making the client have shame and feel inferior. I figured surely this isn't the therapist's doing, so I known as the counsellor to be able to see how we together can help the client feel proud of herself instead of ashamed, still not believing the counsellor was the reason. It turned out that the counsellor would be a religious fanatic who strongly disapproved from the client and looked down on the customer. So, somehow, my client had grasped that. So apart from attempting to placate the counsellor, there is nothing I possibly could do. Sadly, the client's parents pulled the client off my program, because counselling is more accepted and known that EFT, that we was helping the client with, and also the client remains abused by their psychotherapist in insidious ways, as far as I know. So long as this continues, I am unable to see the client recovering.
One solution that I can consider is that mind workers ought to be transparent and declare their beliefs in their literature and prior to the client sees them the very first time. Then your client can make an educated decision. The therapist may also in that way not need to be triggered by clients whose biology, genetic make-up, or opinions, are in opposition to the therapist's beliefs.
