| At some point in life, almost everyone faces a difficult problem or issue. Counseling can help in understanding the problem, setting goals and finding new solutions in a safe caring environment. There are many reasons people seek counseling; regardless of the reasons, I believe an enhanced sense of self understanding and acceptance is essential in all situations (this includes understanding how past experiences have shaped the way we view ourselves, as well as how we understand relating to others). |
Therapy provides a safe place to explore reactions, thoughts, and feelings
about people in your life as well as yourself. It allows you the opportunity to
practice new ways of interacting and, when ready, to try these in other
relationships. I believe that each individual has a unique view of the world,
based on his/her role in it. The understanding; that none of us are totally
individual, but are part of a whole, either as part a small family unit or as a
part of the greater community, is critical to the growth process.
Self awareness may be a very short process for some clients and longer for
others. Just as you have the right to decline or accept any suggestions or
therapeutic approach, you also have the right be informed of any potential
risks. Such risk might include, but are not limited to; uncomfortable feelings
of guilt, anxiety, anger or frustration. During the process of changing,
current relationships may become strained because of your growth. With
these risks in mind, weigh the disadvantages of counseling with the benefits;
which may include gaining insight into your self, developing coping skills and
equipping yourself to deal more effectively with life.
