Perhaps this is my calling. who knows ... only God does. Pray that I can help others who want to be helped. Take care and have a blessed weekend.Gaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15069503364553279367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-63933991976487841692009-10-02T21:37:41.887-04:002009-10-02T21:37:41.887-04:00A good counselor will do just what this post claim...A good counselor will do just what this post claims.Strawberryhttp://strawberry.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-84512255394554309472009-10-02T21:00:33.139-04:002009-10-02T21:00:33.139-04:00JBR-as long as they keep in mind to "first do...JBR-as long as they keep in mind to "first do no harm" Take care~rickRikkijhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10933627704520555139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-28839916827153429652009-10-02T19:50:26.719-04:002009-10-02T19:50:26.719-04:00Great post.

Unfortunately,many people haven't and it can cause such disillusionment and increased heartache. Your post is encouraging, and I am sure that in sharing it, you have given someone somewhere that little nudge they needed to go seek help.

For the first time in my life, I felt accepted as if I were valuable-not for what I did, but just for who I was. That was her greatest gift." I agree completely. The greatest gift and the most help for me was unconditional acceptance - something I never expected. <br /><br />Mary, I may be wrong, but it's been my experience that male therapists tend to lean towards "fixing" you because that is kind of the male approach to everything. Men hear a problem and their natural inclination is to fix it. That works well in many areas of life, but in therapy, sometimes, what is needed is someone who is there to guide and support you as you fix yourself. Have you considered seeing a woman?Shenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635993168913490929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-47157670692941540892009-10-02T10:21:42.522-04:002009-10-02T10:21:42.522-04:00Therapy has helped me to just BE me.

He did help me with my panic attacks but not so much with the abuse issues.
