Not all counselors.... even most counselors are not Freudian they are mostly cognitive-behavioral.

Chan you are very ignorant in saying that....

So, where exactly did I SAY any such thing????

Calvanism is a wicked deviation of the truth... don't make personal attacks.

Well, you have the right to be wrong. Of course, what Calvinism being a wicked deviation of the truth (or, perhaps, a wicked deviation FROM the truth) has to do with making personal attacks, I don't know. I also challenge you to show me where I made any such personal attacks (by which I mean you must quote the exact words in context without you interpreting them). Of course, since you have been banned, you really can't do that, can you?

You assume that there even is such a thing as a "personality disorder." While psychology is supposedly a study of the psyche (the soul, not merely the mind), it is a wicked worldly philosophy because its theories are based solely in worldly philosophies and secular worldviews. It used to be that the Church had the cure for the sin-sick soul (the cure being the applied blood of Christ) but today the Church has bought into the lie that they need psychology to do what was once the province solely of the Church.

Lately, I'm seeing a dependancy on the crutches they develope to help them cope and maintain social normalcy. Once these enter the church, very vew really embrace the power of God because they often refuse to empty themselves of the stones that they have lying within.

Social normalcy? Who decides what that is exactly? This dependency you're referring to is actually a dependency on psychology.

One of the disturbing practices can be traced back to the early hellenistic practice of mind numbing and practicing on the phsycic with chemical anti-depressents. Not a new system but a way to usually exacerbate the problem because it usually sinks thier problem deeper, and they need to empty not to hold the problem.

Psychopharmacology? The use of mind-altering substances? Are you so sure it was of Hellenistic (Greek) origin?

Physcoanylization is a wonderful practice but should never be left in the hands of practitioners, only highly trained and proven Doctors. (I feel that a insencere practice can do much more damage that good.

God's word has the only truth about human nature, the human mind, and the human soul.

I have found a marvelous practice for those who are unstable. To get them to admit their own guilt in unforgiveness and bitterness, then once they have recieved mercy to extend mercy to the party that has the wound in their life.

Unstable according to whom? According to practitioners of some wicked worldly philosophy wherein if someone claims that God speaks to him (as is supposed to be a normal part of prayer, since prayer is a two-way conversation between the Christian and God) the person is psychotic?

I have seen stones removed by the power of God. I think there is a church out there that could find a welcome door if we understood both the physical and emotional chemical/endocin flow and balance.

There is no proof that there are these so-called chemical imbalances.

but I'm a rookie and ignert and would love to hear some inside info on the chemical/endocrin chemistry that does so much to our Phsycic.

God bless.

It's all theoretical. There are no laboratory tests or brain scans that can be done to specifically show 1) that there are chemical imbalances in the brain and 2) that these imbalances are specifically causing particular emotional states.
