    My apologies for not giving my proper name, but I would rather not have it shown - I hope for obvious reasons.
    I have been very much enjoying The Panic Room, and I was particularly interested in your comments in today’s episode about the need for psychologists when we start to come out of the current pandemic isolation measures in Australia. As someone who has suffered from very deep depression (from military service-induced PTSD) requiring considerable professional intervention, and being aware of Steve’s wife’s qualifications in that area, I would be interested to hear your comments on the fact that, while psychologists will readily agree that a healthy “spiritual” perspective as fundamental to our personhood, few seem to be equipped or prepared to allow for Christianity in that definition, as they must remain “secular”, and therefore neutral. Nevertheless, some who I have sat with have been very helpful and understanding but, on more than one occasion, their version of spirituality seems confined to a scarcely disguised version of Zen Buddhism, which for me is a serious clash of world views. I have actually found my Christian friends to be very much more helpful. Any thoughts?
