Is counselling a good idea (personal not marriage) does it help?

Answer 1

Yes, it dose. I’ve seen a counselor myself (for reasons I’d rather not disclose), and I can vouch for the helpfulness thereof. I’ve even heard it said that to become a good psychologist, you should have any personal issues addressed to another counselor. Everyone has mental and emotional issues just like everyone gets sick from time to time. There’s no shame in seeing a counselor; to say that neither you nor anyone in your family tree has ever had a mental problem is just as reasonable as saying no one in your family tree has ever had a cold. If you feel that you need to speak to a councilor, go ahead, and I wish you the best of luck.

Answer 2

While I don't believe in the standard marriage counseling, I do believe that anyone getting married should have a few sessions before the wedding and for the first year of marriage with a chosen counselor. Before a wedding, a couple needs to discuss openly many of the things that make a good marriage to see that they are on the same page. Also, the first year of marriage is very stressful and a counselor would help to teach the couple to deal with everyday problems. However to demand that a preacher (that you may barely know) do this rather than a counselor that the couple has developed a rapport with is not the way to go.

Answer 3

Counselling only help if you want it to if you aren't real wanting to get better then it won't work. But all counselling real is, is a place for people to go and work on thing that they have that they don't want others to know about. But it is also a place where you can feel safe to be able to show what scarse you, And you can use this for so many other thing. It is more than you know it that door for some that they are not able to open alone but they can with someone they know their safe with. Counselling Is not for everyone but for someone it the best thing that have had in a long time. If you do go. Go with a open mind.

Answer 4

In my case I felt like counseling was really helpful with basics. I agree with the other person that it may take a while to find (the right one) obviously some just read a book and it shows.
After years of being in and out of counseling and trying new meds, a very close friend sent me a book by Dr. Phil called Self-matters. I would recommend you reading it. After ten years of chasing counselors, trying medication, I am for the first time, peeling back the layers of life.
I've always said.."I don't know who I am anymore"
I do now.
I am the star of my own life and the author of my life's book.
I don't like to read much but I love writing(very useful too) but honestly after getting into the book, I have realized I have done nothing but spin my wheels.
Take you life back. All the answers to all your questions are really in you.
I am a great listener if you ever want an ear.
I am sorry for any pain you may be going through, just know that there are many going through the same that would love to help.

There are steps you can take to actually build a strong, stable marriage and avoid divorce. Read here https://tr.im/fVnAe

Here are some key steps to apply to your marriage:

- Start by understanding and being informed.

You can never be too informed about tools, methods and studies about building successful marriages. Understand the risk factors like your age and maturity at marriage can determine how successful it will be, the anatomy of an affair and what you can do after infidelity. Understand the success factors like the personal and psychological circumstances that will influence your marriage, what are the tools and approaches available to you in dealing with conflict, and numerous other relevant data. All this information is readily available to you whether through self-help material, through a counselor, support group or other venues. In fact, we have made it our commitment to provide these to you in different formats to help you make the best marriage you can.

The thing is, remember, this is information is not available for you to begin hyper-psychoanalyzing your relationship, yourself and your partner. It's not a matter of spewing trivia for the sake of conversation ' information is there for you to ponder over and internalize to help you transform yourself and your marriage. That includes maturing to such a point that you become more competent in your knowledge but more prudent in approach.

Answer 6

It helped me enormously, once I found a counsellor I could work with. Sometimes you have to try out two or three to find one that suits you.
Be aware, they are not there to give you any answers. They are there to assist you in finding your own. So before you see a counsellor, know what you want to achieve thru counselling and tell the counsellor that.

Answer 7

Maybe at best. You know why? Because finding a good counselor is like finding a needle in a haystack, just about. Most counselors are a waste of time and prolong the process to make more $$ off of you.
