I keep choosing my own way instead of his.

I'm miserable because my actions don't align with my beliefs.

There's that idea again.

The next time I take the plunge into counseling, it will be from one of these folks, meaning a biblical counselor.

And he or she will challenge me on that, and I'll hate it.

But if the Lord is gracious, which he is, I'll face it and repent, and he'll fix it.

Again, I don't know how much we should dig in today.

You're on one.

And she's also not asking for advice.

Kind of sharing.

But yeah, this raises a lot of questions for me.

Dude, I'm in the same boat.

There's something to learn wherever you go.

I just, I keep thinking about the opportunity cost of this kind of counseling, the therapeutic experience that could have happened with a different approach, a different kind of training, maybe more time, more space, more openness.

It's not the only thing that concerns me, but it's one of the things that concerns me.

But that doesn't mean it doesn't come at a cost.

Black Jews, yeah.

OK, you're sure that's what he said?

Sorry, I thought the rabbi was telling the story about his own sister.
