Inside a Counseling Session: What Really Goes On

Inside a Counseling Session: What Really Goes On

I can imagine it with you. Hey, I’ve watched TV and the movies! I’ve seen how people are pouring their hearts out while being judged as crazy or defective.

I mean, we’ve all seen this setup:

The head nod.

The “uh-huh”.

The silence as the counselor sits across from you analyzing every word, every movement you make while looking down at the note pad that holds all your darkest secrets.

Until time runs out, you’re left spilling your guts while being judged to be crazy in some way - yes, judged, analyzed - and you already feel so self-conscious and crazy all on your own!

Who needs that???

I don’t either!

And, that’s why I want to tell you that’s not at all how it works. Breathe. Sense the relief! It’s not how we work anyway!

Have you ever been invited to a party, and you were really looking forward to it?

And end at the end, you found out you had a great time! Know what I mean?

It’s so hard to get moving sometimes isn’t it?

If I think the worst, I’ll be ready. Won’t I?

Now we’ve filled up this one moment when we could be peaceful, and instead, filled it up with anxiety and worry. It really doesn’t get us very far.

When life is overwhelming, don’t let your thoughts lead you spiraling.

Mindfulness is just one technique we teach therapy clients.

And sometimes, it comes down to not looking ahead any further than your current breath.
