I'm glad that she rarely brings up her beliefs too - and I'm glad I let her know that I don't necessarily think the same way. I never asked her how she came to her beliefs but I do know somewhat - because she tells me - that she has read books upon books about people seeing/feeling angels, near death experience stories and the like. And she'll say she read this new scientific article or bought a movie about blah blah blah ... all pointing to the existance of this wonderful peaceful place out there in the universe.
I think of myself as spirtual - and I do think there might be angels out there - but not in the sense that my therapist speaks of. If indeed an "angel" stopped me from getting killed - why don't angels stop chidlren from being harmed or kidnapped or - - - -. There is too much evil in the world.
Having said that - I know my therapist is coming from a place of wishing I could find strength in believing there is good all around me (hence the angels).
Dasiy - she might have said "Do you" instead of "Don't you" ... I can barely remember her words once I leave her office. And this coversation was near the end of the hour - and as I opened the door to the hallway, she other client was entering. YUCK! That causes major brain drain.
