Do you wonder what therapy is all about and if therapy might be for you? Can you discern between real reasons and empty excuses to not initiate therapy?
Conventionally held thoughts about counseling like these are explored:
Therapy is for sissies
Therapy is selfish
I'm strong enough to do it on my own
The therapist will just blame my mother
Therapy is intimidating
Thinking Therapy-No to Maybe explains counseling in a way that addresses ideas and challenges traditional ways of viewing therapy. By explaining the value of counselling through examples and stories, the writer seeks to demystify the experience of therapy. A therapist who has spent years listening to the brave clients who have walked into therapy explains the real reasons why people choose to invest. A special interest section describes and addresses some of the unique challenges of going to therapy for issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction.
For the cynic, the skeptical and the interested, this book shortens the distance from your reservations to the counseling door.
If you or someone you care about is holding back even if therapy might be a good idea, use the ideas in the book to help you make a decision from wisdom and strength, rather than fear and excuses.
