If you go to counseling, it does not mean that you are crazy. Most people who see a counselor are not mentally ill, but normal people dealing with problems that affect their lives. They want some support, options for what they can do, a new way to look at things, and in the end, feel more satisfied.

I think that seeing a counselor is a healthy response to the challenges we face in our lives. And it is normal to feel a little scared when you start counseling: you’re not sure what you’re getting into, or if it will be useful.

Counseling is an opportunity to speak with someone who will pay attention to you, share information that may be useful, and help you find solutions that work for you. It is an opportunity to learn about yourself, and to learn about this thing that we all experience called “life.” The counselor facilitates your well-being and personal growth.

Counseling requires some work on your part: curiosity, honesty, a desire to change, and tolerance for some uncomfortable feelings. But I think it’s worth it, and the people close to you will probably appreciate your efforts and benefit from what you are doing.
