I like the Guts, Heart, Moxie, Courage all are words to describe anyone that is willing to tackle counseling. There is nothing easy about revealing your darkest and longest kept secrets to a stranger. A counselor to maintain their professionalism is not a client's friend. Long term counseling can be even more confusing because the counselor sets out to make the person talking feel comfortable but they still are not a friend. Counseling is also difficult because it is so hard to tell if it is a good match or not. KavinCoach admitted to me that there are some people he can't work with because of their choices or they are a trigger for him. MyCounselor openly admitted that some people like him and some people don't. I can understand why because he does not try to make me feel better. His goal is to get me to feel uncomfortable about where I am to encourage me to grow. Both counselors are good for me but they are not good for everyone. I did encounter one counselor many years ago that I would never be able to work with at all. She gave me the creeps like I was a carrion and she was a vulture just waiting to pull me a part til nothing left but bones. Because of her I didn't seek for help until several years later when I was totally desperate for help. I guess I recognized a good counselor after having a rotten one for a very short time. I did look her up later and found out she was considered highly rated....for someone else.....NOT ME. When I started counseling I make a resolution to get better come hell or high water.....I went through both. My resolve did not lessen. Now, 10 years later, I am thankful I stuck through the rough patches. I am happier. I enjoy my family more. I believe it was worth the struggle and sacrifices to get where I am today. My life isn't perfect by wow do I feel so much better now.
