Are you considering counselling but unsure of what to expect?
It’s common to have misconceptions about how therapy works. Contrary to popular belief, counselling isn’t about someone swooping in to fix all your problems or magically heal your wounds. However, this realization is empowering because it means you’re not powerless in your journey toward healing.
In counselling, you’re in the driver's seat. You collaborate with a trained professional to create the right conditions for natural healing to occur. Your counsellor provides guidance, support, and tools, but ultimately, it’s your body and mind that do the heavy lifting.
This realization puts you in control of your healing process. It’s essential to understand that healing takes time and may not result in the complete elimination of scars. If you expect instant results or a flawless outcome, you may feel disappointed. Instead, embrace the journey and trust in your ability to progress at your own pace.
Remember, healing is a journey, not a destination. Take the time you need, and don’t hesitate to take the lead in your healing journey.
By actively participating in your counselling sessions and implementing recommended strategies, you can pave the way for transformative change and lasting growth.
