Hear me out here…trying to find a therapist who has the exact same beliefs as you in all regards is setting yourself up to make no progress in therapy. A competent therapist would never impose their beliefs or identity on you. Yes, there are bad therapists who would do that, and yes, feeling comfortable and having good rapport with your therapist are important factors, and one could argue it’s easier to feel comfortable with someone who’s exactly like you in every way. But competent therapists are not going to discuss their political ideology or religious beliefs with you except as carefully indicated during the course of therapy for your treatment progress, and I would run the other way from any therapist who advertises politics or religion up front.
Secular isn’t a religion. It just means they are neutral towards it, which honestly, every therapist should be that way. It’s also a good thing to have a therapist that supports your identity. I have a lot of religious trauma related to me being queer and I would be very upset if I went to a therapist and they tried to convert me back to christianity and denied my queer identity. People do have problems where knowing their therapists beliefs would make them feel a lot safer and I don’t think that would actually impede progress.
I’ve played enough RPGs to know that if you encounter a god, it’s for the express purpose of killing them, so you probably just need to bring a big sword.
Chill, Kratos
FFXIV too. One of the dialog lines you can say in the later game (after having slain several dozen gods): “Know that I’ll kill your God if I have to. Maybe even if I don’t.”
They call it “final” fantasy yet there are fourteen of them
