Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater After more than 20 years experience working as a therapist mostly the the Haredi sector I dare to say that emunah is not always enough to solve our emotional problems (or maritial or problems in parenting). I do agree that a thrapist who uses a G-d based model in the service of the neshama can be of grat help to people in distress.

not quite Interesting but too simplistic. "Emuna can give you immediate relief." If you break your arm you can believe that it was from Hashem, but it still hurts and you still need medical treatment and recovery time. Same for emotional "breaks". And some people's "problems" are real, and they need help. Plenty of people were abused as children and their problems will not just go away if they bury themselves in their work as suggested.
