Hello folks. I like this article so much I thought I’d use the WordPress ‘reblog’ function to see if it replicates across. I’ve also invited to join people here another refugee back from the Damian Thompson blog days at the Daily Telegraph. He was ‘English Catholic’ back then, but goes by another name now ‘Non Angelus’. Hope he makes himself known soon!
Just a few weeks ago, on the feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola, I left my career as a professional counselor in private group practice. The practice I created in Denver, Colorado will continue its mission under the very capable hands of a man dear to my heart, Dr. Jim Langley. Its mission to change today’s culture through clinical practice and education that is founded in a fully Catholic view of its clients, and to help clients realize the full dignity of the human person, including themselves, will indeed live on. I wouldn’t have left it any other way.
As I sit back and take some pensive moments for myself, I realize that I have learned so much working as a Catholic therapist and owning a Catholic business. Today, I would like to share the top 17 things I learned as a Catholic psychotherapist.

Thank you for sharing Struans. Years ago after my husband’s suicide, if the person I sought counseling from had been a good and faithful Catholic dedicated to helping me and my surviving children live up to our potential and heal from this tragedy, I probably would have been given totally different treatment and advice. In fact, I’d bet my last buck on it. Yeah, the pain and trials we went through would have been lessened and some things could have been avoided all together. Hindsight tells me if I need counseling again, to seek out a faithful Catholic counselor, period! GOd bless. Ginnyfree.

No. 1 – Churches (and church related groups and blogs) tend to attract people who might benefit from some loving. The emotionally needy, the broken, those having trouble finding grace and forgiveness. Those with the outward signs of transference – the need to mock and externalise the unconscious torment in their souls. Might this be your No. 1 Bosco? Something like it, even?

Now call me a cynic, but I’m suspecting his no. 1 will be something to do with priests and child abuse. But your no. 1, Stuans, sounds rather spot on, not least for Bosco himself.

Unfortunately my brother Bosco never learned the difference between nourishment and sewage. He spends his entire life throwing up.
