The Choice To Change Is Yours
The right to make your own decisions is vital. When others apply pressure or attempt to force your hand about counseling, you may naturally feel a need to protect your freedom to choose. This is as natural as the need to breathe air.
Many times, others care about you and mean well when they give feedback and recommendations. Even so, this feedback can make you feel judged, controlled, and pressured, and then the natural response is resistance… the exact opposite of what the other person hoped would happen.
In your own thinking… have you ever considered that you might need counseling? If not, what would need to happen that would make you think twice about counseling? If you feel that you have an issue, how will you try and overcome it on your own? How long will it take, and when will you know if you’ve been successful?
When the time comes… and only when you’re ready, we’re here for you.
