........but, going to Reconciliation can eliminate the need for a psychiatrist, because one of the reasons one seeks one out in the first place, is to validate their sins; I'm okay, you're okay. Once the sins are removed, there's a breath of fresh air that had been stale and putrid for however long a time [since the last confession], and one can continue on, refreshed and ready to take on the day.

It's our opinion, that if people upped their confessions, there would be almost no need for psychiatrists. Also many good priests are available just to talk, and they do not charge, or continually look at their watches either.
