The Process of Counseling Sample Clauses

The Process of Counseling. You come to counseling because you want something to be different in your life. You may want to change a relationship, solve a particular problem, make a decision, or understand what is happening inside yourself. Because I believe that problems often originate earlier in life, I will probably encourage you to explore both your current situation and its origins in your past. As a first step in counseling, you and I will explore your feelings and concerns and what changes you want.

However, my focus in therapy is your personal spontaneity and creativity. In the course of our development, nature encourages us to standardize as much as we can. This leads to both constructive and destructive behaviors. Developing confidence in your capacity to respond adequately in new situations and pro-actively in old ones will increase your confidence and self esteem. It is quite possible to experience joy in the counseling process. The benefits from counseling may be that you will be better able to handle or cope with your family or other social relationships, thus experiencing more satisfaction from those relationships.
