Update on counseling

[wingingitinmotown]

I've been to two sessions now, and I REALLY like my counselor. She's very straight forward, and tells me what I need to hear (even if I don't want to) but in a kind way. In the two times I've seen her she's zeroed in on a bunch of issues from my past that are affecting me now (some of which I didn't realize were issues) and some current things that I need to be working on to help me "find my square" after the move, deaths, etc that I've been dealing with. She also told me 10 minutes into the first appointment that her goal is to not see me forever. She wants to give me the tools to take care of myself, then send me out of the nest. The counselors I've seen before haven't had that approach.

Anyway, just thought I'd update. And one more piece of happy info, my "co-pay" for once is lower with my junkie insurance than it was with the better insurance I used to have! It's less than $15 a week to see her!!

I'm glad to hear it! My counselor was also awesome, and I feel so bad for people that don't have the great experience with counseling that I did.
