- Emotional Deficit Pathologizes Bad Feelings: The new ethos created by the overwhelmingly influential Psychotherapeutic Intervention revolution is dangerous in its capacity to rewrite a new ethic INTO the behavior of our children, our schools, our families and the shaping of political opinions. It has been in development for over several decades in Family Court Systems and educational systems nationwide, demeaning Christian spouses and railroading fathers, in particular, leaving both “people-groups” with practically NO rights with their children. It poses a unique threat to the Gospel, family relationships, childrearing, our court system (including civil and criminal courts) police training, media manipulation, historic patriotic values…In short, all aspects of human behavior. Socialist radicals have finally landed what they’ve sought for decades: the perfect delivery system (counseling, education and now politics) for the most subtle creation of individualized emotional vulnerability ever faced by any society, posing as a solution while infecting the victim with dose after dose of psychological emotive dependency. It’s astonishing and worthy of the Devil alone. It has been responsible for much of the shocking news coverage sweeping the nation in the last few years. “Children at risk” is NOT new by any means. But this diabolical approach has raised indoctrination to a whole new level. An alleged depression pandemic, transgenderism, and student suicides, with children being the focus of all vulnerabilities, have been the result of the influence of this new Psychotherapy Intervention hysteria. The discourse of emotional deficit “pathologies” then goes on to pathologize bad feelings and an ever-expanding variety of experiences into an hysteria of emotional survival. The psychologist, counselor or educator objectifies uncertainties of life by digging deeply into individual and family privacy, recasting them into some intensified form of risk. This, in turn, incites a counselee to volunteer to assess him/herself in a “risk conscious” state of awareness. (1-p. 17). The lust for complete access to the inner sanctum of, what was once considered inviolable family and individual privacy, has been flipped by the psychiatric cartel into an accusative “Privacy is the protection of abuse” syndrome. Then “self at risk” counseling promotes a sense of powerlessness where helplessness becomes the ACTUAL goal, though carefully cultivated as “working through private emotional issues” but fostering a constant state of “vulnerability” for each new emotive experience.
dddddddddddddddddddddd - Fruit of the Womb is God’s Heritage: Scripture tells us, “Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is His reward” (Psa. 127:3). That, of course, paints an immediate target on God’s heritage. The follow up verse sheds light on Satan’s concern:
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. – Psalm 125: 4-5.
If Christians raise their children uprightly, those children will, as adults, fire their “arrows” of righteousness into Satan’s kingdom. The last half century or so has seen an all-out attack from socialist radicals upon children, invariably, though thinly disguised, as an appeal for some humane need (overpopulation frenzy, environment, “Don’t bring a child into the world” folly, “private rights”: feminism, transgenderism, abortion, sexual rights). The reality remains: children are THE target.
- Children: The Permanent Stage of Victimhood This modern psychotherapeutic school of thought, originating in “think tanks” of leading globalists (think “Gates”) and Talmudic scholarship (NOT to be confused with Karaite Judaism which does not encourage such thinking), have expanded the risks for children in all arenas of life. The significance that current culture attaches to viewing the world through the prism of emotional crisis is demonstrated by the therapeutic language and practices that have literally invaded everyday life. Children as young as 9 and 10 are encouraged to talk about feeling “stressed out”. The American Girl Scouts produced a “stressless badge” while Troop 459 in Sunnyvale, Calif. organized a stress clinic for third-grade Brownies. (2 – p. 11). Much worse are the ONGOING therapies invoked in children’s lives. “Children’s behavior is increasingly portrayed through psychological labeling. They are often diagnosed as depressed or traumatized. And while there is still a debate about the diagnosis of “school phobia” …virtually any energetic or disruptive child could acquire the label of ‘attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.’” (3- p. 11). The United States has also experienced record numbers of children diagnosed as ADHD, with 2 million children (4-p.11) assessed.
- Piling It On, Thick and Heavy: Depression is not the only “bad” out there among the children, we are assured. People, particularly children, are in great danger, being prone to a bewildering variety of conditions and “psychological illnesses.” Of course, much of that “assurance” finds footing in allegations that more and more people are suffering from emotional stress, depression, anxieties, phobias, et.al. Thus, children are the people-group most vulnerable when, by definition, mommy and daddy are redefined as emotionally compromised …or worse. Terrance Real, author of I Don’t Want to Talk About It: Overcoming the Secret Legacy of Male Depression, states that since the beginning of the 20th century, “each generation has doubled its susceptibility to depression’ (5- p. 15; T. Real New York: Fireside Books, 1999). The family is therefore no longer a safe haven for a child, it is reported. Question: Is it a compounding of depression cases over the years…OR…are we awash in a tsunami of newly redefined maladies, hosted by the Psychotherapeutic “claims-makers”? “Claims-making” involves reports from the medico-therapeutic community, redefining historic tasks and achievements of the past (such as striving to get an “A”) as alleged vulnerabilities (reputed hurtful to children) and further claiming some form of entitlement, such as State intervention as a legal mandate. Claims endow emotional injury with authority (6-p.186). Presumed, of course, is a need for a monopoly: the guardianship of children by the Psychotherapeutic medico-elites, i.e., a transfer of authority from the historic family-church base of child nurturing to the newly minted “priesthood” of Psychotherapy – mainly, psychiatrists and psychologists (7-p.20) – that arrogates to itself a “religious narrative” (8-p.30). Thus, a new “therapeutic gospel” is promoted institutionally (9-104), avoiding the need for Christ and the “guilt” of sin and righteousness, a message deemed traumatic. Heading the “trauma-causation list” are parents, ministers, and Christians since the message of sin and repentance is perceived as fostering trauma.
dddddddddddddd - Living in Fear: Many adults are convinced by the Psychotherapeutic Revolutionary mantras they cannot, nay, should not, consider having children. For many, their parents were taught that they were ill-equipped to raise children. Manipulation through fear has trained generations to disqualify themselves from God’s mandate to “multiply and subdue the earth [in righteousness]” and joyfully raise children for the Lord (cf. Gen. 1:28; Psa. 127; Eph. 6:1,4). This is the reason the seminaries have attacked the Mandate of Gen. 1:28 to be fruitful and multiply and subdue the earth in righteousness. The theology has appropriated the psychology! Those who DO have children ought not to assume any expertise in raising them, they are counseled. The Psychotherapeutic Ambush then shows itself: “Let the State take charge of the children as a medico-moral-legal mandate.” Of course, our alleged saviors don’t seem to mind the monopolized, lucrative, statist-endorsed revenue stream of an entire ECONOMY of children, from birth to adulthood, do they? — Learn more about this revolution and how to combat it HERE
