Why I Became a Professional Christian Therapist
The Christian faith offers deep insights into human nature and into the struggle to be more human. I agree with Richard Rohr that we are spiritual beings trying to become more human. The struggle to be more or a better human being is one which takes place in therapy every day. I cannot divorce my faith from my work and in many ways they are one in the same.
