Thanks so much for sharing this! I'm a graduate student reciving my Masters in Menatl Heath Counseling and I too have been subjected to the misuderstanding of what counseling entails! you brought up a valid point that definitely deserves to be addressed
Thanks for your video. It has enlightened me. My 30+ years in therapy with many different therapists have proved in my case to be ineffective. I can get better answers and help for my problems from a dead tree.
You have done a good job explaining it in a short, sweet and informative way. I am a life coach and how I explain what I do is pretty similar. Goodl uck with your practice.
yeh... i should've watched this before i went to my first counselling session. I was so emotionally frustrated in the session and expected my counsellor to show some comforting. Instead I got a sleepy counsellor.
I couldn't agree more. Very hard indeed!! I am a Clinical Psychologist, and it happens to me quite often. I kindly refer them to another Therapist. Usually, they are just trying to get free services. In my opinion, they are in turn doing themselves a disservice, because when you are a friend they aren't going to be 100% honest with you for fear of being judged, or looked at differently, etc. You can't help anyone that isn't honest about their problem. I always advise my clients that I am not there to judge them but to listen and it is of great importance for them to be completely honest about everything at all times no matter how bad they may feel that it is to share.
I have had MANY counselors an only maybe 2-3 ever actually helped me. I have had the worst of the worst, even saying an doing really mean an making me more suicidal. Saying things like, lifes over after 40 or do you think getting your teeth fixed is going to make any difference......knowing that is one of my biggest problems of why I have no self esteem. Some are just bad, but you decide who you trust.
Thank you - what is it like to work as a councillor? I consider myself as a vey compassionate and caring person, but I am concerned that counseling numerous individuals would have a detrimental effect upon my own mental health. It is hard to have lots of negativity. Your response would be most interesting.
I have been in counseling for over 30 years with many different therapists and have become worse instead of better in most cases. I can get more help from a dead tree then mental health therapists.

its hard when a friend looks to you as a counselor

Its nothing to be ashamed of if you need to talk to someone, consult your dr they should be able to give you advice ,regards .

I too face some challenges like you have identified.....they really don't know who a counsellor is
Thank you for explaining
