I have seen cases of reactive attachment disorders in our church.

Exactly. And think of how much money you could be spending weeding out psychotherapists. You could take yourself a nice relaxing vacation.

Only surgeons cure. Counseling at best can only help you change your own behavior and help you change how you see things.

Wouldn't diss all counselors.

Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

That is a good point. Counselor is used by lawyers and Psychs. Counselor is my Mediator.

My lake neighbor was a counselor and over user of weed.

If I picture and list all the social workers and Psychologists and Psychiatrists, I have met, the mix is just as messed up as the people they serve and in dozens of cases worse off.
