Can church be bad for your health?

Life is loaded with negative experiences. That doesn't mean people carry trauma wounds.

I get a little blunt. Why do people think they have a right to carry resentment and grudges forever over junk that preachers said that hit them wrong? Counselors have a knack of assisting people in discovering roots of bitterness and turning them into scars and victims.


Would it be wrong to encourage some one to eat if they had memories of vomiting a meal one day?

My advice is for people to learn better coping mechanisms and discovering tools to get over stufff. I suggest going straight back to church. It isn't the church that is the problem. The presenting problem seems to be how this person reacted to what someone else said and did.
Confront your fears.

Aquila, your story is over dramatized. Tiger woods isn't playing the PTSD card either.

The bible doesn't say we have rights to not be offended. When someone is offended, I don't recommend a pitty party and involving others in build up of a huge story of trauma and unfairness.

You'll get no arguement from me on the bolded. It's just that some of us need help in developing those coping mechanisms. I was such a person.
