| Hi, This is my first time to post anything, but I have checked out the website many times. I think it's really great, so thanks for starting it! I have been out of Christian Science for about 4 or 5 years. I grew up in it and still have a lot of issues about many different things. I would really like to see a counselor to start working through some things, but I am nervous about finding the right person to go to who has some knowledge about how cults like this work. Any suggestions? I have read Linda's book which is wonderful and I have been to Wellspring which was incredibly helpful, but now I feel like I need something more local and long term. I would appreciate any help. Thanks  li'l sister

| li'l sister, I would really like to see a counselor to start working through some things, but I am nervous about finding the right person to go to who has some knowledge about how cults like this work. Any suggestions? Welcome! The most important suggestion I can offer is to be very careful in reviewing a counselor's beliefs before committing to counseling. I had one who tried to "cure" me of my religious beliefs. Another suggestion is to ask your contacts at Wellspring for a local referral. My guess is they would understand the need for local followup. Your pastor also likely has resources on his rolodex (so to speak). Do Go Be Man
