Deconstruction And Therapy and Why You Should Choose a Secular Counselor

Deconstruction and Therapy

I could never have come through all of this with a Christian counselor. Dealing with trauma, emotional things, marital problems, etc while going through deconstruction simply cannot be handled by someone who is committed to first and foremostly “saving lost sheep.” You are not a project. You are not a salvation target. You are a person and you need to be heard and taught how to walk through your own life.

Midlife Crisis vs. Midlife Clarity

Midlife Crisis vs. Midlife Clarity

Around my 40th birthday some clarity began to emerge. First, in the realization that I really didn’t care what other people thought about me anymore. This was huge, because I tend to be rather co-dependent and I want people to like me. The swing to the other direction took me a bit by surprise but I also saw it as freedom to be myself. Step one.

Or I should say a giant leap for this woman.
