Sinopsis
Have you ever left therapy feeling clearer emotionally, but foggier spiritually?You’ve done the work - therapy, reflection, emotional literacy - yet something still feels stalled.You’ve gained insight, but confidence hasn’t grown alongside it.You’ve wondered whether questioning therapy means you’re being resistant, unhealthy, or unfaithful.Written for thoughtful Christians shaped by both faith and psychological culture, Lies My Psychologist Told Me offers a careful, non-reactionary examination of how therapeutic frameworks influence beliefs about responsibility, healing, identity, and growth - often without being recognized as a worldview at all.What You’ll Explore Inside:Why therapy is never truly neutral - and why that matters for ChristiansHow emotional language can quietly replace biblical categoriesThe difference between emotional insight and spiritual wisdomWhy healing and holiness are not the same goalHow responsibility can be reframed as harm without being namedThe subtle authority shift from Scripture to credentialed expertiseWhy validation can feel healing while stalling transformationHow discernment became confused with condemnationWhat Scripture assumes about human nature that psychology often does notHow to engage therapy as a tool, not a governing authorityWays to think clearly without rejecting care or insightHow to regain confidence without emotional certaintyWhy clarity matters more than emotional resolutionHow to test ideas without attacking intentionsWhat faithful maturity looks like in a therapeutic ageThis is not an anti-therapy book.It does not dismiss emotional pain, discourage seeking help, or replace psychology with slogans. Instead, it offers language, distinctions, and structure for Christians who want to receive care without surrendering spiritual authority.If you’re ready to move beyond endless self-examination and toward steadier, Scripture-anchored clarity…If you want tools without confusion, insight without loss of confidence…Lies My Psychologist Told Me invites you to think clearly, live faithfully, and reclaim discernment - without fear - in a therapeutic age.
