Made and appointment with a phD

I called my insurance company, I knew that I had 20 visits per year for counseling. I decided to get individual counseling for me. I will go to my first counseling appointment next Monday. He is a phD, so I am hoping this is going to work out.

Hey Emily,
Counseling never hurt anyone in Codieville!
I am hoping you will receive some clarity and
support from these sessions.

Oh Emily.......Congratulations!!!!
This is a huge step for you.
I have been going for a few months now and I have found
so much relief in it. Have my slips, but in the big picture I'm
feeling so much better.
Way to go......

I am going with a very positive attitude, I am going with the soul purpose of working on me, and these sessions are going to be about me.

I have never went with this kind of an attitude before, I have always went to whine and cry and felt sorry for myself and I wanted the counselor to tell me what I need to do to fix things.

I am going this time knowing that I need to start from within myself and I know that I need to find the courage and the strength to pull myself out of the mess that I am in.

I want to find out where my resentment and anger stem from. I want to find out where my low self worth and emotional dependency on others come from.

Keep an open mind at all times. And take a box of tissues. Lots of cleansing is going to happen for you.

Blessings

I am actually a little scared to look at myself that deep, but I know in order to heal, that is what I need to do.

I think individual counseling is great. I've been in the not so distant past. It was very helpful to me. Helped me understand. I think we could all use some counseling at different points in our lives.

It's difficult to relive a part of our lives that hurt. But this time, it will only hurt for a few moments...not months or years.
