I have seen with delight the way in which religion, when properly practised, helps people live a contented, healthy, and fulfilled life. But we are all aware of people who have done something totally unholy with their religion; those we call fanatics, people who belong to shady cults, and so forth. Indeed one of many reasons people dislike religious cults is that often, their leaders victimize the vulnerable, whose lives get destroyed along the way, as documented in the press during the last few decades.
So, would you be happy to send a vulnerable person to such a fanatic? Would you trust a religious fanatic with matters of the mind?
Of course, we have to first define this is of fanatic. There is a huge difference between a professional therapist who's a pious god-loving person and someone who twists religion to justify their judgement of others. When this is really a psychotherapist, psychiatrist, or counsellor, it can be scary. A mental health worker cannot be fanatical about anything whilst undertaking their work. Therapy is there to help the customer find their own solutions (not imposed solutions that fit the therapist), and are available to a place of peace. Plus some would say that surely if your mental health worker were a master, they would know to keep their opinions and emotions from the therapy. And that is certainly the ideal.
I was helping a vulnerable and suicidal client who had been also seeing a counsellor. I called the counsellor from time to time to make sure we were enhancing the client within the most effective way as a team. This very vulnerable and suicidal client had the most trust in the counsellor. However, I was not happy concerning the way the counsellor seemed to be making the customer have shame and feel inferior. I thought surely this is not the therapist's doing, and so i called the counsellor in order to see how we together might help the client feel happy with herself rather than ashamed, still not believing the counsellor was the reason. As it turns out the counsellor would be a religious fanatic who strongly disapproved from the client and looked down on the client. So, somehow, my client had grasped that. So apart from attempting to placate the counsellor, there is nothing I possibly could do. Sadly, the client's parents pulled the client off my program, because counselling is more accepted and known that EFT, which I was enhancing the client with, and also the client continues to be abused by their psychotherapist in insidious ways, so far as I understand. As long as this continues, I cannot see the client recovering.
One solution that I can consider is that mind workers should be transparent and declare their beliefs in their literature and prior to the client sees them for the first time. Then the client could make an informed decision. The therapist can also by doing so not need to be triggered by clients whose biology, genetic make-up, or opinions, are in opposition to the therapist's beliefs.
