Only Serious Problems Or “Crazy” People Should Seek Counselling
Yes, counselling in Hertfordshire can assist you in resolving significant life problems and traumas, but it can also be helpful in other circumstances. It’s OK when we simply need an objective and non-biased listener to discuss a scenario or thoughts we are experiencing. Seeking assistance for both minor and major issues is common.
Counselling Is Ineffective and Will Worsen the Condition
Since each individual is unique and has various requirements, no two people will experience the same outcomes from therapy. However, the majority of the time, therapy will give you fresh insights, support, and a strategy to deal with your issues.
The Counsellor is Unable to Assist Because They Do Not Know Me
Counsellors are a great extra resource to help you get through tough times.
Most commonly we initially look to our family and friends, who know us and care about us, for guidance when things are not going quite right. Whilst maintaining social connections is crucial for mental health, our loved ones typically lack the professional insight and objectivity required to reach a healthy resolution.
Couples Therapy is for Those Experiencing Relationship Issues
During my 20 years’ experience of counselling couples. Some couples seek help when they have completely broken down and they are desperate for help to revive a once vibrant and healthy relationship. They are unable to see the cracks in their relationship usually spanning over many years until they reach a crisis point. However, this doesn’t necessarily have to be the case. I have also seen couples who are generally in a good place but were seeking help with minor issues in order to protect their relationship as a whole.
In order to sustain a healthy marriage/partnership, it is vital to continue to be conscious of open communication, conflict resolution and intimacy skills with your partner when your relationship is still strong. We all change and evolve over time and it is helpful to periodically seek professional facilitation that sustains healthy communication.
They will Hold my Parents Accountable for Everything
Every challenge you face is different. Additionally, the method of recovering from those challenges will differ. The areas of your life that you wish to concentrate on be it your past, present and/or your future, will determine your counselling process as a whole. Analysing your past and determining how your surroundings and the people in your life influenced your current reactions might be beneficial in certain circumstances. Concentrating on present issues and behaviours is also valid. One’s parents are not the panacea of all ills! Although they could be seen as contributing towards an individual’s core belief system and it might be useful to explore those instances when attempting to reframe habitual thinking and behaviours from an objective point of view.
The most crucial thing to remember is that my counselling in Hertfordshire at Penny Glazebrook Counselling is not about placing blame, but rather learning how to have a positive attitude in life and build positive connections with both yourself and other people.
