What is Counseling?
Counseling can take place in all kinds of
relationships -- anytime one person helps another to
understand and solve a life problem. However,
professional counseling
involves obtaining help from someone trained in
providing help. This process takes place in an
atmosphere of acceptance, respect, and trust.
Counselors can help you recognize your internal
worth and examine the way you see yourself.
Counseling promotes growth and helps you:
·
Express your feelings
in a safe, supportive and
nonjudgmental atmosphere.
·
Identify and sort out
your problems.
·
Identify longstanding
patterns of behavior that keep you
from solving your problems and
developing new ways to look at them.
·
Improve your coping
skills.
·
Identify and achieve
your goals.
