What is counseling and is it right for me?

 

No one is immune to hardship, trial, pain or suffering. For some, these are chronic burdens which have become as much a part of life as eating, sleeping and breathing; for others, a recent increase in one can create an imbalance in the way we see ourselves, relate to our loved ones, and interact with the world in general. There is no particular formula for seeking help. When the struggles of life become overwhelming or cause us to feel like strangers in our own skin, counseling with a trained professional is one way to find the help we seek.

 

The process of counseling provides the opportunity to gain insight into why we think, feel, and behave in the ways that we do. A counselor provides help to those who seek it in a safe environment where judgment and criticism are left at the door. Counseling is all about rising to, and overcoming, those challenges which sometimes weigh us down and pull us away from the path we would rather be on. It is not the hardship in life which defines who we are, instead, it is how we react to those hardships which make all the difference. Finding strength and resilience within ourselves when we wonder whether there is any at all can be a daunting task. Working side by side with a counselor, it is possible to peacefully take stock of your life and make your tomorrows better than your yesterdays.
