Many people are uncertain if they should seek help for the symptoms that negatively impact their social life, relationship, and career. Like them, you may be experiencing some life issues or undergoing emotional crisis that makes you depressed or anxious. Are these limiting your ability to enjoy a satisfying and productive life?

There’s no need to suffer much longer. Consider going to counseling to ultimately feel and function better. Like many people, you may have some reservations in getting professional help to address the debilitating problem. Much of the resistance is based on misinformation and misunderstanding. All these need to be cleared so you can have the courage and wisdom to seek even basic counseling. Whatever it takes to obtain help, do not let these four things to get in the way.

• Apprehension: It is understandable to feel apprehensive when considering counseling. Many painful experiences like death and divorce you may be afraid that are to be relived all over again. Just the thought of opening up the entrance to your emotional wound might be painful and discovering how deep it is might feel scary.
• Denial: It’s normal for humans to act out resiliency in order to protect oneself. To some extent, this hardy stance is admirable. But, mourning is also important for you to come to terms with an overwhelming issue. Struggling with an external appearance that looks fine to others is not commendable, it is pretentious and foolhardy, because damage is being done on the inside. Most of the time, what’s bothering you inside is reflected outward in some other unhealthy ways. (Just because you may be refusing to see it, doesn’t mean others haven’t already observed it or lived with it.)
• Cost: If you have a limited income, seeking treatment may become the last priority because rent, food and clothing come first. The good news is that most insurances cover counseling. This website will be able to help you figure that out. If you still don’t know, call your insurance company and see if they cover counseling. Then hunt for the best counselor who can help put your life back on course. Choosing the right counselor is the best way to spend your money wisely. Being more functional allows you to increase your income in the long term.
• Social Stigma: Society used to have negative impression about people who seek counseling. The desire to seek out therapy can be overshadowed by your thoughts and fears of discrimination, unfair judgment and ridicule in the community, at work and school. The society is also learning much; that counseling is meant for people who want their life to be better. Keep in mind that counseling is a confidential and private session between client and counselor so all your personal information is protected and respected.
• Remember you don’t have to tell anyone else you are going to counseling. However, most of your friends and family have probably been to a counselor at one time in their life and found it helpful. We believe you will too!

Breaking the Barriers

Whether what’s disturbing you is major or minor, the support and care of family and friends are invaluable help. But, the best help you can receive would come from a therapist or counselor who can provide unbiased perspective and expert guidance. You cannot be an eternal prisoner of things stopping you from getting help. Therapy is different from what family and friends can provide. It takes a professional to root out the underlying and outlying causes of your difficulties, give you the correct diagnosis and help you in making positive transformations in your life.
