Confession is a way of asking God for forgiving through a priest. When people go and confess what they have done, they tell the priest all that has happpened and the priest gives them the forgiveness they seek from God. Yet it is said that God always forgives. Why not go to someone such as a therapist tell him what is going through your mind and get help or advice for the problem? Although you are asking God for forgiveness during confession, you are also telling someone else your problems. Wouldn’t you want to confess your problems but also get some help for it? A priest is there to listen and help your relationship with God, but if something is really bothering you a therapist can listen to your problems but also help you with them.
