Counseling can also be helpful for personal development: goal-setting and achieving, life coaching, career change, finding a partner, building better communication skills, assertiveness training, building self-esteem and/or
self-awareness, interpersonal skills and other goals.
Or counseling may be a place where you can ‘vent’ your frustrations to someone who will understand and support you in your goals and dreams.
Modern culture has caused many people to become isolated. As a people we are becoming distanced from our family members; we don’t know our neighbors and we have only superficial relationships with our co-workers. We drive alone on freeways, insolated in our cars and annoyed by other people we never meet who are doing the same thing. Meaningful relationships are hard to find. Life doesn’t appear to have a purpose because we have lost our connection to the important aspects of living.
It is strange but in a world that offers more and more options for communication we are becoming more and more alone.
Counseling can help you re-connect, find purpose and create direction and meaning in life. It can help you improve the relationships in your life. Or it can help you locate, identify and form healthy fulfilling relationships.
Counseling services can help you cope with the stresses, conflicts and adjustments we must all make as we progress in life. It can help you ‘off load’ resentments and learn skills to deal with difficult people and situations.
Counseling services can provide you with techniques to negotiate relationship change and teach you assertiveness skills so that you can ‘stand up for yourself’ without alienating the other party.
Counseling services can help you achieve self-esteem and confidence which can help you build a sense of self-worth, give you new direction and create an enthusiasm for life.
While no outcome can be promised – because the outcome depends upon you and what changes you make in your life – such goals are possible.
