I have a Ph.D. in counseling and provided thousands of hours of professional counseling to gay Christian men.
Likewise, as a gay Christian man, I have received hundreds of hours of professional counseling.
Such experiences of being vulnerable to a counselor can be very intimidating. It can also be very destructive. And sometimes, it can even be helpful.
Therefore, I want to describe the horrific forms of counseling (i.e., conversion, addiction, and Evangelical Christian). Then, I want you to understand a counseling method that is very helpful to gay Christians (i.e., affirmation counseling).
