Question

Bsd Hello Rabbi, My psychologist says there is no problem with open internet. He is an American Haredi, and Rabbi Moshe Bloy recommends him. I have an issue with this because I grew up in a home with pure fear of Heaven! Many things bother me that do not bother him. The problem is, he made me get used to it, and now it's very difficult for me without it. Also, my rabbi, who accompanied me in yeshiva for many years, says not to leave him. And I feel distressed. It will also be difficult for me to leave him since I have been accustomed to him for several years. And I find it hard with changes. Regards

Answer

Hello Rabbi 

As you defined, anyone who has a drop of 'pure fear of Heaven' is greatly disturbed and troubled when exposed to a whole world of heresy, serious sins, distorted opinions, and all other transgressions found in the Torah. 

Woe to those who have become so accustomed to distortion and evil that it no longer bothers them at all. 

Even if you have become accustomed, there is always a path to repentance, and you can retrain yourself to a pure and correct path. 

It is clear to me that even those who referred you to this psychologist did not intend for you to follow his instructions against the instructions of all the rabbis of the generation. Rather, you should only use him for the psychological help you need.
