Do you think that counseling is beneficial?

I've had a therapist for many years and it's been amazing. I apply all of the suggestions he has given me and it has truly changed my life. It helped with every aspect of my life. Has made my marriage stronger and all of my relationships better. It is hard to apply some of the suggestions but once I did everything got better. I know how I want to be treated now but everyone in my life. I don't have a hard time with telling people what I will tolerate and what I won't. I am very open and honest now with people. I don't have that fear anymore that I won't be liked when I have an opinion. I was always afraid of what people thought of me if I didn't cater to their every whim. I do what I can for people and don't feel guilty when I can't help out. It is truly amazing. I got rid of relationships that were toxic and causing me to much stress. Some people don't like it but I can deal with that now without the guilt. I think everyone should have a therapist. It is someone who can give you honest feedback and help you handle situations you are finding difficult. It has truly changed my life and I've very thankful I have someone in my life that is concerned for my well being.

yes I have experienced it myself my first time ever going through counseling and after several sessions I started to see the result I too don't have that much money, so every session I made the best of it just pour it out and listen to what they suggest and follow it

Well it can be, if the person doing the counseling does know what they are talking about. And that does lead to a bit of the problem. There are many would be counselors who try to deal with problems that are a bit beyond their depths. It is all well and good where people are trying to help. But there are times where the advice of people tend to really go down a bad path, where it is not helpful at all and it does more harm than help. Of course, realizing that advice is not for everyone can really help a lot for sure. There are just going to be many times where counseling is for some but it is not for anyone. Many people tend to listen to advice, but when it comes time to actually apply it, they really cannot make that next logical step to properly apply the advice. Therefore, they are just right back to square one with whatever they are deciding to do in life. But sometimes an added perspective might be needed, yes.

I have been in counseling especially during school days. I am not going through the details but then it is beneficial that gives me a peace of mind. At least I don't need to pay anything. But then I still have the feeling of being ashamed of myself that I feel I am a weak person who needs counselling.

In my opinion, counseling is beneficial. Sometimes we need a stranger to view our problem without bias. These counselors' services are expensive because they have to study and be really trained to deal with emotion and how the human mind perceives things. If the counselor is untrained, it can lead to serious emotional damage. You are right about Mylot. Its a place where we can find willing listeners who voice their opinions.

In several occasions, counseling is good. In the education field, the counseling with the children is good to know about their abilities. We can clear their doubts and understand their mind. Some students are very moody but after counseling they are getting fresh. Financial counseling is also another thing. There will be a financial counselors everywhere. They will help their clients how to do the financial planning. Have a nice day.

yes, my daughter went to counselling for a while and i think it helped her somewhat.

Absolutely Yes is the answer from me. Counseling is really help to Solve any issues we have, depending upon the Counseling by Experienced one and our relatives in any matter it will important before making the Important decissions on our life.

Definitely! Counseling is so beneficial! It will help us unload what we feel and what's inside that bothering us! I haven't been in a counseling but in our school we had this kind of activity. It is our confession for the mistakes we made. I can also share my problems in some online forums.

Personally I don't believe counseling is beneficial. If that would be the case not so many people are having counceling for 10 years or longer without any result! It's just a great way to make money out of people who have nobody to turn to.

It helped a lot to people who are in crisis.Seeking for advised to an expert who really knows what went wrong. One of my subject is about psychology and I learned about how to alleviate stress and when does stress came from. People who seek advise is not literally having a hard time of their life. Its also give some uplifting feeling when someone who's there ready to listen your heartaches or just want to unleash your emotions.You need a support in order to balance life. Without altering your daily living.

I have never had a need for counselling, thnak god and I hope I don't need it either. But, I feel that counselling does help a lot of people. It can make them understand their situation better and also helps them figure out what is best for them and helps them make choices but I agree it is costly. Anyways, mylot is defintiely a nice forum to share your problems and feelings and get advice from others...

I've only experience online counseling, but it was very beneficial. Everytime you talk about a problem with a person that is more experienced than you you only have to win.

than councelling spirtual support is more neede ,throughthat every thing can be solved. so please belive in GOD and trust him.
