New To Counselling? Trust In Yourself, You've Got This!
I hear you!! When you finally make that decision to come to Counselling...
You want it to work... badly!
And let's be honest - sometimes one session is all that it takes!
Either because that release was all that was needed or maybe a thought is shared or a perspective offered that just changes everything around for you! It happens! Fantastic!
At the other end of the spectrum, that first session can feel like all you've done is talk... which is absolutely the point, it's how our relationship is grown and the therapeutic work is offered...
But you can't help the feeling that you wanted... more...
To feel something far more profound...
Because after all, that decision to come in the first place was ABSOLUTELY HUGE!
And this is why I feel so strongly about our second session together... that's where the introductions have already been made, the groundwork already done...
To use a building analogy I guess the first session can feel like the footings and the second session, the first brick!
And brick by brick it gets better, more useful, more empowering, more... profound!
That feeling of accomplishment, growth, healing, yes I won't deny it can come in the first session but in most cases in my experience, it is the developing relationship between us that provides the most significant revelations and life changing shifts...
Like all good things, it takes time and the results are compound!
A single change is awesome! Compound change is lifelong!
With warmth,
James
