Some of you may know my situation; I've posted on here numerous times.
Long story short we are going to try counseling. Well even that is an issue.
My wife wants us to go see a Christian "counselor." I use that term loosely because the guy isn't actually a licensed counselor. He has a degree in counseling but no license to practice. He operates out of his house and brands himself as a "life coach." She wants to see him because he came to speak to a group of moms that she's involved in which meets at the local church once a week.
I have problems with this. First, I don't really consider myself a Christian. I don't want to go to a marriage counselor to be preached at and read Bible verses for an hour. I don't judge others but I do not feel comfortable in this setting. Second , the counselor is not licensed and runs his business from home. He told my wife that he doesn't have a payment arrangement with his clients but that he accepts suggested "donations" of $50 per session.
I expressed my concerns to her and told her I wanted to at least see someone who has a license. She said she doesn't like "psychologists" because she's had bad experiences in IC with them in the past.
She made an appointment for us to see this guy next week. I do NOT want to go. What should I do?
