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

The Good, The Bad But Not Ugly

MISSING AND NOW BACK IN ACTION...  I checked back my last post and it was 8 March last month and today is 19 April, less than two months only.  So what has been happening in my life?  Lots and lots... good news, bad news, sad news... all concerning health and I guess this is our life cycle as we live day by day.   My health is also not that "fantastic" during the past few months, but mine is a small rock compared to giant boulder which my best buddy is undergoing... I guess some of you know what is happening to her from her blog posts.  I was totally devastated when this happened to her, my tears couldn't help falling and my heart goes out to her.  I am ashamed to say that instead of me giving the comfort that she needs, I am the one that have been receiving her strength in times like this.  She might be crushed physically but she is not broken in her spiritual mind and soul.  One word... "Unbreakable!"  She is a shining example..... "What can death do to m

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!
