Sometimes people come to see me, or they end up at the mental health
facility, and wonder why they’re there. It’s a common problem that
people have, and it boils down to one question:Why counseling?
Or more importantly,
Why would I need counseling?
First, I would like to say that one of the most common statements I hear from people that wonder if they made the right choice is: “I was worried it looked bad/spoke ill of me if I went to counseling.”
You wonder what it says about you if you see a psychiatrist or counselor, and should friends/family/work find out. You encounter comments and sideways looks that make you question yourself. It happens, and frankly, people can be insensitive to say the least.
But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t seek help.
