Grief I have with my therapist

Unusual Beliefs
1

Disclaimer:we are both spiritual people but the difference between me and her is.

She believes solely with her heart that we are all souls much greater than our physical body and we are given each life to work on our soul. To be given new challenges to help humble our souls to prepare for the afterlife.

She points out to me that “YOU have had a particularly tough life! Your soul is old and wise and has been given great challenges. Greater than most! As complex of problems as anyone. You are special in this regard!”.

I’ve actually been told this by multiple people!!!

Me on the other hand, I know of the physical world. It’s all I know and all I’m working on right now.

I have thoughts of solipsism. I have thoughts of heaven. I have thoughts of reincarnation. I have thoughts of life turning black when I die. But I am agnostic about the afterlife.

I simply don’t know

I find it insulting to say my purpose is to perfect my soul. It’s an insult to my physical body. “My physical body is only meant to humble me, not for me to enjoy”. I ignore it but it’s still insulting.

Sometimes I wonder if these theories are messages from a diety to tell me what’s really going on. But at the end of the day they are one thing. Theories. There are so many theories about the afterlife to think yours is right is kinda insane imo. Which is why I’m agnostic about the afterlife.

When I read on solipsism I thought god was sending me a message "this is the truth, and you should know. ". Then there is confliction with my therapist theory. So I know it must be between a choice of theories. So the logical explanation is agnosticism. And live your physical body the best you can. I just found it all insulting / jumping to conclusions.

Oh well. Everyone has their opinion.

My job counselor I said to her “I think he likes me” and she said “I couldn’t imagine anybody on earth not liking you”. And that I took offense to as well. I can’t please everybody and peoples dislike toward me has contributed to me struggling in the past and the present . So yeah.

That’s all I have to say in this post.

I thought she was a bit cooky when you mentioned the muscle testing. She’s a wannabe shaman. Just my cranky opinion.

I think she’s just a Christian. A more spiritual inclined Christian. I have nothing against any religion but I felt she was throwing her beliefs at me. W.e each session helps which is all that matters. This is my only gripe with her really. I find the strange things she does helps me somehow. She’s also insightful and really understands trauma but I don’t like people who think they know the answers on the supernatural subjects.

Why?
There are so many theories even about life and other ‘physical’ things but it is not insane to have opinions. :slight_smile:
