Don’t Be Afraid To Ask For Help

A Counselor Can Help

There are many myths about what Counseling. Most of them come from some outdated ideas about psychology and psychotherapy. Unfortunately, images of old men in beards, clients on couches and patients in asylums still define what counseling is for many individuals who might benefit from what counseling offers today. So, What is counseling?
Counseling is a unique relationship in which the Counselor helps someone identify a problem and work together to discover strategies or utilize techniques to problem-solve. One counselor stated that his job is to hold up a mirror for the client to see himself or herself in. “We all have experiences in which we can’t see things about ourselves without a mirror.” After the client begins to see and accept the reality of the problem in their life, the counselor helps the client trouble-shoot the problem by providing options that may solve the issue shared by the client. Because most people tend to be hard on themselves, the counselor knows to hold the mirror in such a way that the client can see himself or herself from a caring, supportive, and sympathetic perspective.
