When thoughts and feelings are interfering with your daily life, counselling can be very helpful. Navigating trauma, depression, and anxiety, or other strains on mental health is complicated. Doing it alone makes it even more so. Reaching out for help from a professional doesn’t mean you’re weak; it means you’re ready to start getting stronger.
Counselling has, unfortunately, had a stigma attached. The medical model was developed to fix what was “broken.” People receiving counselling are not broken. Human beings are malleable and can rewire themselves. A professional counsellor can help with this plasticity by allowing the release of painful or unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
