    best help you can get for any issues in all situations is: go straight to Hashem for help & call out to him for your heart. Hashem does not turn anyone away unanswered. as we say in Ashrei Karov Hashem…. Hashem is close to all who call upon him to those who call upon him with truth & Sincerity

    Yungerman, how about teshuva? How about professional (i.e. psychologist) help. How about asking a known rav? Regarding mekubbalim, those who are don’t talk about it and those who talk about it are not. Some of the phonies have caused a great deal of damage (breaking up marriages. bilking people out of all their money, etc.) . Some have even conned people into doing extremely serious aveirot.

    How does someone become a mekubal?

    Are there shiurim for people interested in becoming a mekubal?

    What does a mekubal do more than a rabbi?

    Does a mekubal have special kabbalistic insights?

    What is a mekubal?

    Joseph, first one must be a talmid chacham. After that he must learn Kabbala in depth and refine his middot. There are yeshivot for Kabbala. one of them is Rav Yaakov Hillel’s yeshiva, Ahavat Shalom. There is also a very famous yeshiva in Yerushalayim called Bet El (not to be confused with the yeshiva in the yishuv Bet El, which is almost 300 years old.

    Lightbrite, yes a mekubbal has special kabbalistic insights. This is the definition of a mekubbal. However, as I previously posted, there are many charlatans. Caveat emptor!

    Any and all recommendations are appreciated ASAP!!!!

    I recommend that you first go to a gadol who is not a mekubal.

    I don’t believe in wolves.

    FWIW, I don’t believe wolves (or anything else) exists either.

    This is so for the 3D physical world

    In the world of spirit ,belief
