Why Is it Hard to Admit you need Counselling?
Human nature at it's best.
Due to our inner programming as youth we are made to believe that we can and will overcome anything.
This mind set should carry us through life forming excellent grounding skills to resolve our own issues.
The problem with this theory is we were never prepared for the possibility of what happens when we cannot move mountains and our thought process is shattered.
The very idea of not being able to self overcome to many is seen as a form of weakness.
The idea of being weak is the absolute reason we fear seaking help.
The fear of judgement, fear of rejection, fear of failure and fear of facing our truths, hurts and weakness.
Most of us were never taught that there is no shame to shed tears, no shame to fear and no shame to admit you have it wrong.
We were not taught to seak guidance when needed and admit failure when we can.
As a result this has filtered down to our children and loved ones.
I am hear to tell you that all of the above although some might bear some truth for the very small part, there is absolutely no shame is seaking guidance, no shame in seaking the strength of another, no shame to admit you are broken.
Today's lifestyle do not share the truth and morality our parents once had, people are no longer as kind and giving as they once were and children are no longer as innocent as they once were, this is all due to society and the changes therin, technology, pears, work and the meer rush of life.
When you are broken or feel you are broken, shed those tears, seak the guidance and ask for help.
Do not fear judgement as no person has the right to judge as they too are broken.
Perfection does not exist in our day to day lives, we make mistakes, we faulter, we break and we hurt.
Marriages end or are on the very of ending.
Children get into ugly situations
Children bully and are bullied.
Peer pressure and work pressure consume us.
Finances break our positive outlooks
Fear is a killer.
I have watched far to many people destroy themselves due to not seeking counselling or guidance.
I have seen many marriages destroyed that could have been saved.
I have monitored and wittnessed children destroy their futures and themselves because they were not given the help they diserve or needed.
You do not have to be another statistic, you can get help.
Remember when seeing any therapist what is discussed in that room or on the phone, stays in that room or on the phone.
Your sessions and conversations are confidential.
You have the freedom to speak without judgement, the freedom to vent, share, cry.
You have the choice and the freedom to free yourself from the very things that weight your heart and soul down.
Take that step and free yourself.
The choice is yours and only yours.
