If you've ever wondered, you're not alone-many people have wanted to know.
It's important to know, because (as you'll quickly see when you set out to find a therapist) there are some Christians who do bad therapy, and some non-Christians who do good therapy, and all kinds in between!
A long time ago, I went with a friend of mine, who was a pastor, to hear some Christian therapists talk about their profession.
I remember one particular therapist getting up and talking about his specialties and training.
