You are worth it!
I remember very clearly the day I sat in my doctor’s office and he said to me what do you think about having some counselling? At that point in time I was skeptical, but I was also very desperate and did not know what I should do. I also knew that I couldn’t keep up with the way things were. So, I agreed.
After my first session I thought why did I do this it isn’t going to help me but by the time I had reached the end of my sessions I knew I wanted more, and I had come so far. I was able to face a lot of things that I never thought that I could. I had experienced an accident where a car had crushed me, and it was very difficult for me to even walk across the Walmart parking lot without being in absolute terror. I would have a panic attack and not even be able to go in the store. I would relive the accident over and over again in my nightmares. I had become somebody I didn’t know. From a strong independent woman to a frightened panic driven version of myself. So really what did I have to lose by having a few counselling sessions?
In my counselling I learned that l did have control of what I was experiencing. I had the power to make my fears what they were, or they weren’t and how much they controlled me. After my sessions were complete, I continued on with counselling at another facility and I became stronger and more in control. I guess my best advice to anybody who’s thinking about it or afraid to do it, just give it a try. It has made all the difference in the world to me. Take that first step for yourself. You are worth it.
