There are problems that people don't talk about, resulting in silent suffering:
Unemployment
Fear or Anxiety
Compulsive Behaviors
Infertility or Parenting Issues
Sexual Dysfunction
Abuse or Trauma
Suicidal or Homicidal Thoughts
Hallucinations or Delusions
There are many reasons people remain silent and avoid seeking treatment:
I don't want to be judged.
This is too embarrassing.
Other people won't understand.
No one else deals with this.
I should know what to do.
There's nothing that can help.
This is too painful to discuss.
Change will be too difficult.
Suffering in silence is not your only option.
Counseling is more than simple listening and giving advice, it's the skillful application of specifically chosen interventions and techniques to assist you toward making progress. There are qualified and trained professionals that will listen without judgement, maintaining your dignity, and can assist you to make realistic progress toward your goals. There are risks like feeling uncomfortable at first, and there are benefits like comfort and relief.
