The first day my husband dragged me to see a counselor, I was so nervous and didn't know how I could possibly tell her what had been running through my mind. It was hard enough to tell my husband, how could I ever tell a stranger about all that? However, the more I visited with her, the more I realized that she really could help me. Talking to a counselor has been so helpful and I have learned many new things about myself and how to be a better person.
I have found two things that are so important when visiting with my counselor and psychiatrist: Be honest and be open. My counselor and my doctor are there to help me get better. The best way for them to help me is if I tell them what I am thinking and how I am feeling. Hiding things from them only makes the process harder and longer. They are both here to help me and are on my side...even when I think everyone is against me. They really do want to help, but they can only work with what they are given.
