Counseling

" There is nothing wrong with getting a little help from a counselor or psychotherapist to get out over some past memories or to strengthen some social skills. You don't have to be crazy or incapacitated to justify getting some help" Deepak Chopra, The Times of India New Delhi, India Aug.28,2005

How do I know when a problem is serious enough to require counseling?

Each of us can be faced with life events that are difficult to manage. Relationship problems, work-related issues, parenting challenges, depression, grief, aging parent concerns, alcohol or drug use problems, and chronic health difficulties are just a few examples of common challenges that can diminish our abilities to effectively manage our activities from one day to the next. Every person has his or her own method of determining when it would be useful to seek outside help. The statements listed below are frequently used to determine whether there is a need for outside help. If these statements ring true for you, counseling may be helpful.

I spend a lot of time and energy thinking and worrying about my problems.
Others have expressed concerns about me.
My problems are taking a toll on my health and my ability to cope. It appears that I am not as resilient as I used to be.
My personal and work relationships have been negatively affected by the pressures and stress in my life.
I no longer find pleasure in activities that previously had been pleasurable or satisfying.
I don't sleep very well anymore because I am worried about so many things
