The Possible Benefits of Counseling


Do you realize that counseling is somewhat similar to going through an educational experience? This is because the therapist can be like an instructor, a motivator. While you would start to learn more about yourself. You may never know, there is also a chance that you will acquire new skills because of undergoing some counseling.

How to Choose a Counselor

There are different counselors that advertise their services online. Some are available in community centers while there are also others that have their own private offices. You can choose a counselor depending on your budget although there are some sessions that may be covered by your chosen insurance.

You can always ask for recommendations from people that you know. There are some who may have tried different counselors in the past. They can recommend the person who has helped them the most. Just remember this: not all counselors will work for everyone. Find someone that you can be comfortable with. Once you do, talking about your problems and troubles will not be problematic for you.

The Benefits of Counseling

What are the things that you and the rest of the people who undergo counseling will get? One of the most important things is the acceptance of oneself. There are still some people who are not happy with who they are. They have made some achievements and they have fulfilled some of their goals but because they cannot accept who they are, they cannot be truly happy. These people can benefit a lot from counseling.

These are some other things that you can expect:


l   You can start to become more confident. You already know who you are and what you want. This will provide you with the confidence to make your own decisions.

l   Those who are suffering from depression can get relief because they can talk about their problems without the fear of being judged. There are also counselors who may provide some medications that will help people take control of their mental health.

l   You will be able to control your feelings of anger better. Are you the type of person who gets angry all the time? It may not only be because the whole world is set to anger you. It might also be because of your dissatisfaction with all of the things that you are going through.

l   The ability to control your feelings of stress appropriately. There are some people who are so stressed that they are unable to function anymore. You can always control your feelings of stress when you undergo counseling. You will be able to determine what are the things that are causing you to feel stressed out. You may distance yourself away from these stresses or remove them from your life. The choice will be up to you. You are sure to come up with strategies that will allow you to deal with stress appropriately.

l   You will also suffer from less anxiety. Your anxious feelings can make you a bit unsure of the things that you should do. Counseling will allow you to gain back the self-esteem that you my have lost.

With all the benefits of counseling that you have learned, are you ready to start finding the right counselor soon?

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
