Top Five Thoughts on Why People Refute Counseling

“That counseling and therapy are only for the weak minded or delusional crazy people.”

  • A common misconception about therapy and counseling is way too commonplace and is completely false. People are not made to go through life experiences all by themselves and proper therapy and counseling allows you to have a chance to engage with a person that actually wants to participate and help. When you choose to engage and discuss what is actually going on with yourself it will not only become empowering, but many persons also compare this feeling as being freeing.

“My life is boring and I really have zero to share or anything worthy of talking about.”

  • Your life is a pursuit to be enjoyed and your own personal journey. It does not matter what it is that might keep one person up at night while not easily affecting you might be easier to deal with. The exact same principle applies to your own personal experiences. A crucial and often overlooked benefit of therapy and counseling is being able to see things from a completely new perspective. This ability and new opportunity for exploration for how you might deal with challenging scenarios or why you might keep specific events and memories closer to your heart and mind will open up the avenue to dialogue about many other meaningful topics.

Counseling Newcastle“Sometime you might think that you would get much more by speaking with a close friend or relative as opposed to a therapist or counselor.”

  • Having a regular support system in place is key for any person. Having close acquaintances and members of your family is awesome to have on your team. However, many topics become personal and can be problematic to discuss with those closest to you.  Having truly honest and objective therapeutic advice from any person you care about is difficult to accomplish without interjecting a personal opinion. Therapists and counselors are trained to remain completely objective and will guide you through negative or harsh feelings you might be experiencing.

“That just talking about some events or things cannot actually change anything.”

  • The therapeutic value of discussing events and certain topics is commonly accepted in the professional community of medical experts. The key benefit of speaking with someone who will not judge you and actually has compassion for your general well being is one of many reasons therapy and counseling has become increasingly more popular recently. However, counseling and therapy involves more than just speaking with and talking to your therapist. Counselors and therapist will assist with showing you healthier ways to tackle new issues and challenges that might arise as well as offer tools and techniques to address attachment related disorders, PTSD are closely related often times.

Counseling Newcastle“I don’t like talking badly about people.”

  • When you talk in therapy situation or counseling session it is nowhere close to being compared to gossip. When you talk in a therapy /  counseling session, it is not the same as gossip. You are not talking about a person to cause harm. Therapy will allow you fully comprehend exactly another person’s actions and words might and how they might relate to you. Under this same umbrella it includes speaking about or referring to actions or feelings toward family members and spouses.  A counselor or therapist will help with keeping you thoroughly focused on what your role in any relationship has and will offer insights into how your own personal feelings and reactions to other persons might impact and affect you.
