My bitch: I have been hating that mental health professionals have all been telling me the same thing:
God has a plan for me, and that's why my suicide attempt failed.
That does not align with my beliefs. I was apparently near-dead and resuscitated, but there was nothing religious about it. It was nature; I overdosed, and was given effective treatment which happened to work. It wasn't "God;" it was people.
Giving me the notion that God was watching out for me as therapy is bull****, and I'm not ecstatic about being the ******* like, "Nah, it was just chance, and your superstition is pissing me off."
I have had TWO psychiatrists, THREE doctors of general medicine in the ICU, multiple nurses, two social workers, and a therapist express this to me. How do I shut it down without coming off like a jerk?

If you're paying them money and they're wasting it by preaching at you then I wouldn't worry about being rude if they persisted with this crap.
Or if they think you were saved because God was looking out for you you could just ask them if that means that God wasn't looking out for the people at the Boston bombing. I imagine the uncomfortable silence that followed would be pretty satisfying.
