How does counseling help?
We are all emotionally involved with ourselves and therefore are not always the most objective source to assess our actions and behaviors. When we are having problems many of us seek advice from our family, friends or church. However, in some instances, friends, family and clergy are not enough. Simply stated, counseling allows an objective outside 3rd party to help you sort out your feelings and then view and assess your situation. Counseling involves listening and reflecting. It may involve some prodding or confrontation. Overall, counselors work with you to help you learn to better help yourself.
