PSYCHOTHERAPY
I think counselling itself is an adventurous healing process. It is a very delicate relationship: a professional relationship, a therapeutic relationship, a cooperative relationship but also an interpersonal relationship. All changes unfold through this special relationship when you feel secure, safe, accepted and emotionally validated. While it sounds so simple and easy, it is a process takes courage to be emotionally prepared to face some unpleasant emotions such as pain, sorrow, loss, resentment, anger, agony or remorse repressed within from some very unhappy and painful incidents or events in our life. The process could be scary and cause a great deal of resistance that makes us want to run away and escape, but maybe we can only change our own history when we address what the problem really is underneath within ourselves.
Indeed, changes can be slow and not feeling an instant improvement could be very frustrating and discouraging. However, the fact you do not feel it does not mean it is not working; just like the fact that we do not feel we are aging everyday does not make us forever 25.
Hopefully, every nuance of positive shift encourages you and bring you more confidence and strength, so you could find your own voice and have a different life experience that you feel happy and fulfilling.
