From my personal experience,I believe that it`s emotionally dangerous to seek advice from a Rov that has not been trained to understand emotional issues.
I have on 2 separate occasions from 2 different Rabbonim received a directive that I felt was emotionally impossible to put into practice.On one occasion I contacted a psychotherapist and she agreed with me. B”H It was only because I felt good in myself did I manage to stand up to them and refuse to follow their directive.
I believe that what Chazal say in Kidushin 6a “Kol mi sheainoi yodaiu betiv …. applies in all areas that one has no expertise.
Accordingly, anyone who is not an expert in emotional issues should not get involved in dealing with such matters!
