We wrote that a competent therapist doesn’t believe that psychotherapy/psychology is not “an overarching, flawless religion.” Yet, as we get involved in deeper conversations about therapy, it appears to us that there really are two fiercely oppositional (even religious), camps when it comes to all matters psychotherapeutic!

I’ve worked in the mental health and addiction fields for well over 20 years and the debate still rages on, even among addicts, alcoholics, and professionals. What do you think?

I have seen, through gathering some qualitative and anecdotal data, a marked decrease in social anxiety, isolation, improved personal relationships, decreased aggression, diminished panic attacks, and decrease in use of psychopharmocology noted by multiple clients. And every client reported taking their work “out of the stables and into the world”.
