cripple had a bad experience with psychologists who simply ended up unhelpfully toying around with his mind. So now he pans the whole field. I agree to skepticism about psychologists to a certain extent. Psychology does not normally reach to spirituality and spirits. And there are evil spirits at play here, it is virtually certain. But also even a church and a Christian family who are supposed to know such things, often don’t, and here’s where the Christian psychologist often shines — he’s been there, seen that, helped it with spiritual guidance that the normal preacher may be ill equipped to give.
A Christian psychologist sounds like an excellent option.
I’m reluctant, generally, to believe in evil spirits. Recently, the possibility seems more real to me. Addiction, for example, seems powered by forces outside the addicts. Not my personal problem, but I’ve seen nice people turn into addicts. A whole different “person” emerges. Scary.
But maybe that’s my own concept of addiction. Alcohol addiction is considered “cunning baffling and powerful” by those in 12-step groups. Sounds like a description of an evil spirit.
