Engage in Counseling 🧘🏾

Over 40 million adults engage in counseling each year. The counseling process is the greatest exploration of YOU. People often forget that they are infinite beings, wearing a limited body, within a confined mind frame, living in a specific time period. Counseling gives people access to a safe space to explore their infinity, to reveal layers, discover treasures, heal past pains, and learn new truths.

3 misconceptions about counseling:
1. Needing support means something is wrong with me.
Many people engage in counseling because something is right with them. Others engage to move from surviving to thriving or to maintain a thriving mindset.
2. Therapy is just a lot of talking, I can get support from my family and friends.
While a strong support system is important, counselors are trained to assist with awareness and perceptions.
3. No one will understand me.
If you never give a counselor an opportunity, then this becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. There are counselors available for you, check https://www.psychologytoday.com/us and https://zencare.co/.
