May I ask why you think a Babalawo rather than a therapist trained in psychology and related disciplines  is what he needs? I would not know,though,how you see the range of skills of a Babalawo or your experience with Babalawo.My own experience with Babalawo has been quite limited but I have lot of respect for the Ifa system and the one Babalawo I have had significant interaction with.I am curious,though,about why you think a Babalawo would be particularly relevant for the healing process here.
Thanks.

Hello Group,

 
An experienced Babalawo is needed to heal a man in prison, located in
San Bruno, California.

He has very close, trusted friends, and he appears to be in excellent
physical condition.  However, he is incarcerated for allegedly hitting
his girlfriend.  He is a victim too.  His girlfriend is married and
she did not tell him.  He needs an experienced Babalawo to help him
heal his broken heart, and to heal his rage.  Additionally, prison has
been an unhealthy environment, and he needs help to cope with his
feelings of alienation and anxiety.

I do not know his history, but I am aware that he has had prior
convictions for similar violent offenses in the past.  I presume that
it involved a different woman.

If you know a Babalawo who can help him, please send an email to his
trusted friend Will, at:  ka...@ix.netcom.com.

Ki Olodumare yin iwo ka, ko si lano fun iwo ki ise re maa to.
May you be enveloped in the Divine Presence of Olodumare, and may the
All-Mighty open the road for you that this project may be successful.

Katie

greetings. A babalawo is supposed to be skilled in the full spectrum of wellbeing from physical to metaphysical. If well prepared he will far exceed the capacity of a psychologist. Myself I have prepared and practice from both approaches. Please ask the trusted friend to contact me for insights. Obafemi
