You really don't stop hurting just because you're in a time zone where all the offices and clinics are closed. You can still get encouragement, wise counsel and insight when you need it.

This session I was able to slow down a bit and get a better understanding of rich salvation and go to verses for prayer. Robert showed me from a different verse the same things I learned at other time sometimes saying things a little differently brings out the meaning and helps memory all together along with good people skills.

We discussed new verses but also reviewed the basics especially with health, prayer, and perceiving the truth about God. I really enjoy the new words like propitiation (appeasing God or spirit ) as that was a new word but getting better at it. Knowing what the Bible says better helps me respond and think about the way I show Gods love to live a full life that is kind, loving, and loyal (even better than a Warcraft type character hero! )

I have called Dr. Betancourt for many years, and he has always been honest, positive, funny, direct, and no non-sense with his advice. He will tell you like it is. If you are looking for honest therapy that will help you change your mindset and offer you a better quality of living based on your thoughts!!

learned how to be more efficient today with the 8 step formula based on scripture and excellent story for “suffocating” evil. I like checking in to make sure I get the most out of the Bible and life Robert knows a lot of the questions I have before I even ask how refreshing today was to deepen understanding about changes and being able to share that knowledge and experience.

My first chat session with Robert was amazing. He seeks to understand clearly over chat and gave me ample time to provide background information. Then he offers powerful and practical suggestions for mindfulness. I feel a tremendous sense of inner peace and gratitude after chatting with Robert. I highly recommend that you chat with him or call him or both.

Robert is a great person to talk to about any topic. He is very friendly, listens very well, and is empathetic towards people. I've been a regular for years, and he's certainly helped me in many ways. I would recommend Robert to anyone who needs to talk to someone. He's very knowledgeable and provides creative resolutions.

Great talk today about why I do the work I do and how to love better on and off the clock.
I have a few people I need to follow up with about coursework, housework, and for social I have some male friends and female friends hoping to make a first step by talking and not forcing them to receive my interests revisiting my prayers as well for how to reinforce my confessions to God.

I really liked the session because Robert sometimes uses a little humor in quotations to explain what the verse is actually saying. I liked the new insight about the Sampson story how he didn’t know the spirit left him. I actually think that applies in the reverse as well where we have received the healing but are unaware of it physically but spiritually the story is definitely continuing and very much more of a command type scene rather than plea for help.

I really enjoyed the current event story and historical background with a ww2 example. I know I will benefit from the newer suggestions involving simple repetition to more elaborate communication, social standings, personal achievement, and christ activated peace.

I am glad I stayed for the extra session sometimes some of the points in the movies and the scriptures are so good it is worth repeating for context and when I hear a personal testimony about a current development with covid it helps me understand the concepts better.
