Fearless Friday - Going to Counseling

A few days ago, I wasn't doing so good emotionally/mentally/spiritually. I was really down and felt like there was nothing I could do about it.

I've been overly busy the past few weeks, and I had hit a wall where I couldn't even think straight. My emotions were shot, I didn't know how to communicate, and I began to think of unreasonable thoughts.

That's when I realized, it was time to see a counselor again.

. . . 

Going to counseling is such a divided thing in today's world. Most of us think it's a good and healthy thing to do. But when it's your turn to go, you feel ashamed or embarrassed, as if something's wrong with YOU and no-one else!

. . . 

If you don't feel well, what do you do? You go to the doctor, right? Why is that any different for your mind?

If you're not doing/feeling well, it's the smart/wise thing to go see someone about it.

. . . 

Embracing the practice of going to counseling has given me so much freedom, help, and understanding... more than I could have ever imagined!

It reminds me that I am more "normal" than I think I am sometimes.

I do recommend finding a Christian counselor, and it's AWEOMSE if you can get a recommendation from someone you know and trust! It can take some looking around and trying out different counselors, but when you find a good one, you'll know it!

. . . 

Fearlessly go, find a counselor when you need help, and be as open as you possibly can be. You'll be amazed at the relief you can feel by just going to one counseling session.
