Question 10

Will counseling work for me?

Accepted Answer

Counseling often has benefits, and counseling may help to make positive changes in feelings, behaviors, and personal relationships. Counseling requires active participation and application outside of therapy to be effective. However, there is no guarantee that you will experience these benefits. Counseling also has potential risks. Effective counseling may involve discussing unpleasant events or thoughts, and you may feel sadness, guilt, anger, frustration, or other strong emotions. Some people feel that counseling did not help them or, in rare situations, made things worse. Therapy may affect relationships with family members and friends. You can and should share any of these concerns with your counselor. You can stop receiving counseling services at any time.
