When you are in the most pain and feel hopeless, that is why therapy exists. We are all human, and counselors understand fear, stress, and emotional pain. They want to soften the edges by providing a safe place to go through it. Counselors do not judge the decisions or circumstances presented. Life can be incredibly hard and there are pressures, unexpected heartbreaks, sudden transitions, and all different sizes of trauma.
When these experiences shake the ground you walk on, friends and family will attempt to console you. We love community support, but sometimes, the best intentions to comfort or advise do not provide relief. Instead, therapists have the capacity to hold space for you, think about what you want, analyze complicated problems, and help you achieve your goals. As this process happens, you begin to feel better over time. They care about you... your authentic self. Therapy is a place to find yourself again. See what happens when you transform into who you want to be.
Counselors reflect your thoughts and feelings back to you. They have years of supervised training and experience conducting thousands of sessions to attune to others' inner worlds. A counselor can feel like a friend who understands your soul and wants your best. They also theorize with you about how to move forward. They hold you accountable when they see you self-sabotage, because they know you want to stay on track. You lead the conversation while they offer sentiments about your deepest desires and needs.
You can discuss anything in therapy. There is nothing too scary or embarrassing to address when you have an empathic counselor to support you. Choose a mental health professional that you connect with for this reason. You need to feel that you can trust them. That is when the magic happens. The connection flows and new insights are born. You can evolve into the next version of yourself.
Soothe pain and gain confidence that demonstrates all things pass and better times will come. Maybe the time is now... to love who you are, how far you have come, and where you are heading. You are capable of healing. Mental health providers are here to shed light during the darkest days. The best investment is in yourself. Utilize the opportunities in therapy to develop your unique person.
