You and ...Dante claim to be experts on reparative therapy, but really know nothing about it or are purposely lying (I'll go with the latter). Since we initially talked about it in Part 1 4-plus years ago and I admitted that I knew very little about it, (other than the LGBTQueer movement using scare tactics to demonize professionals that help those with homosexual desires change), I've educated myself about the process that involves both spiritual and psychological counseling. Now it's your and others that know absolutely nothing about it turn to learn:
Curriculum Vitae
Biographical Information
Joseph Nicolosi, Ph.D.
Dr. Nicolosi graduated from the New School for Social Research (M.A.) and received his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology, Los Angeles. He is licensed as a psychologist in California.
In 1980, he founded the Thomas Aquinas Psychological Clinic in Encino, California, and has served since then as Clinical Director. Although he works with a wide variety of clients, his specialty is the treatment of men who wish to diminish their same-sex attractions and develop their heterosexual potential.
Dr. Nicolosi is one of three founding members--and former President--of the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH), a 1,000-member professional association founded in 1992 (
www.narth.com). NARTH’s goal is –
To support mental-health professionals who work with same-sex-attracted clients seeking change.
To promote respect within the mental-health profession for worldview diversity—whether a person seeks to identify as gay, or to work toward developing his heterosexual potential.
The NARTH website is viewed by over 100,000 visitors each month. It is the only secular group in the U.S. which protects the rights of therapists to counsel clients with unwanted homosexuality.

Note at around the 4 minute mark how Dr. Nicolosi states that the client
must be motivated.
It's that free will thing that God created mankind with. If you want to change, you can.
