Reply To: The Stigma On Therapy Etc.

I hate to break it to you, but speaking to a rav does not always help. A rav is not a therapist just because he is qualified to answer halachic shailos. I might ask a rav to recommend a good doctor to me if he knwos of one, but I would never view him as my therapist if I needed one. You don’t go to a cardiologist to do your root canal, though the cardiologist might be brilliant and tops in his field.
