Is it strange that I feel this way about therapy?

I feel like my bible training has made me therapeutically superior to people with PhDs in therapy, but I can’t practice under any medical terms associated with therapy or any class of jobs with abbreviated medical designations because of the legal structure of North American society. But I believe I’m academically qualified to migrate religious theology into modern mental therapy methods through non-pharmaceutical means by calculated conversation and non-tactile abstracted psychological engagement.

You may be right Jennifer and that would be nice. However I would caution you to consider that you actually lack the training and understanding you would need to judge how successful you may actually be. I am not qualified but have basic training in many medical specialties and graduate degrees that allow me to practice in that field. But not board certified. Yet I do not think that it would be wise for me to do so. I'm in the OR enough to know that I have no business doing cardiac surgery and cardiac surgeons have no business doing my surgery. Yet the average citizen thinks surgeon can do any surgery in a pinch. Wrong. I have a lot of formal training in psychiatry enough to know that I don't know enough to practice psychiatry. Even though technically I am legally allowed to do so. Take that for what it's worth.
