This week’s Blog article was written by me,
your host, Nicholas Smith. As I walk through
the waiting room at Heritage, I’m reminded that coming to counseling can be an
intimidating thing. I wrote this
post to give people an idea of what counseling is like in a general way, to
help ease the nerves a bit.
Coming to see a counselor for the first time can be and often is a nerve racking experience. This is a totally natural reaction. It doesn’t always feel normal to tell a complete stranger the details of your life that are difficult to share, even with those you are closest with. You don’t have to share everything all at one time. Share as you feel comfortable to do so. Also, therapy in our society is an experience often shrouded with mystery and lots of misconceptions.
