But rather than eradicating anxiety in the same way vaccines conquered smallpox, the number of mental illness diagnoses has instead increased exponentially. Too many people are caught in a vicious cycle of mental health treatment, visiting every doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist, and therapist in their area only to find psychobabble labels and medications at the end of each path.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow did we get here? And what is a mental illness, anyway?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eLies My Therapist Told Me\u003c\/em\u003e, Dr. Greg Gifford delivers the definitive Christian critique of secular therapy and mental health culture. He demonstrates how a secular worldview undermines our ability to understand and diagnose these problems. The result? Therapists who lack a biblical view of the mind and the brain are often only able to relieve symptoms, and ultimately miss the real issues. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough deep research, biblical teaching, and the inspiring stories of real counselees, Gifford brings clarity where secular therapy has created confusion, and offers hope even for those struggling with the hard cases. He answers questions about how to handle diagnoses and navigate a secular, therapeutic culture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a foreword by Todd Friel of \u003cem\u003eWretched Radio \u003c\/em\u003eand the Fortis Institute, this book is a must-read for counselors and counselees alike. You can read all the secular mental health literature in the world, but you still won't learn God's answers to winning the battle in your mind. \u003cem\u003eLies My Therapist Told Me \u003c\/em\u003epresents a powerful, cutting-edge argument that the supernatural wisdom of the Bible is truly sufficient for every need. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greg E.
