I wonder why I have seen and experienced the exact opposite. In fact, my experience has shown how quickly the gospel takes a back seat to psychotherapy and pharmaceuticals. ...but I am not one to recommend pharmaceuticals.

I find these two statements inconsistent. You believe the majority of LDS Church members are in favor of psychotherapy and pharmaceuticals, but you yourself do not recommend them. The implication is you believe no one should need them because there is a better way to deal with such problems. Is this what you believe? Because that is what I see in the Mormon culture; people who believe faith can cure all ills without the aide of medicine.

The sad truth is the human mind is not a computer program. It is not easy to erase memories, or overcome their effects in our life. Healing is a tough road to walk, and every journey is as individual as the person taking it. Personal revelation is vital, and sometimes, so are pharmaceuticals.
