when i was still attending university, i went to their counseling department where a psychologist worked with me for one or two sessions. i didn't go back to them because it seemed a little too "hokey pokey" to me. they would ask me to do exercises at home, where i relax and think about my childhood. they told me to think about the earliest childhood memory i had of being abandoned or mistreated. they wanted me to write down who did what to me and how did it make me feel. i never did do this exercise and never went back to see them.
know i have issues of abandonment from my childhood but i don't see how this could be related to sz. now, i have been reading christian books and now i think i would be more receptive to psychotherapy then i was back then.
now i believe that childhood interactions with family members can do a real number on ur psyche, but i don't think it's enough to cause sz.
still have a lot of learning to do in this area and would appreciate any advice or help on u guys about this topic.
thanks in advance.

From what I have read it doesn't casue scz, but it might be a trigger if you already have a propensity for it, like the damaged genes, or whatever. I would be no help to a researcher, because with me I have a family history, AND I started getting positive and negative symptoms (like, all of them) the same year that I had chicken pox and scarlet fever, and, coincidently (or maybe not, who knows?) the year I started school, my dad was kicked out, and my oldest sib molested me.
I'd like to know what christian reading made you more receptive to therapy though. I am a Christian, though I don't socialize well, so I study mostly alone (not completely though. That would be a little dangerouse with my condition, right? All for the best to have a few people to bounce things off of.)
