Are you even ready for Counselling?
The things we do day to day are necessary and some of them are choices. Some of them aren’t. But we do make conscious decisions about how we do everything. How we move through the world in a way that feels comfortable, bearable and even pleasurable. To keep us sane and well, or at least functional.
Healing a wound needs attention
What I do know for sure though, is that wounds don’t heal without attention. Even when the body is healing a minor scratch, or a much deeper injury through cellular repair, something is propelling that process and it isn’t stagnation. The energy the body needs to heal a physical issue requires ingredients like nutrition, the removal of and protection from infection, medicinal manipulation through chemical intake or application, something to help mend the problem.
It is the same with an emotional or psychological injury. Wounds that occur to our psyche, personality, development, attachment, our learning and connection need attention. They don’t heal by themselves and they don’t automatically resolve through disinterest and denial.
The Joy in Counselling
Counselling can feel contradictory but that is what is most liberating about therapy. That sometimes opposing things can be true and coexist at the same time. That we can find stillness and peace in chaos, and that the complexity of the human experience can be more than just bearable, it can be exhilarating.
Counselling Options
At the moment, there are many options for people to access therapy and support, and it is becoming increasingly more available to choose a pathway that suits your needs. It is useful to understand what your choices are and to be able to access resources that facilitate making informed decisions about what services to access that are accommodating and accessible to you personally.
