When thinking about entering into a relationship with a counselor/therapist or not, one of your evaluating factors HAS TO BE the societal stigma of “being in therapy”. Say what?! Huh. I don’t say this to heighten or increase the stigma but because this is a HUGE barrier that keeps people from asking for help from a trained mental health professional.
A mantra meditation is repeating a word, phrase, prayer or fragment of a poem for meditation. This can be really great because you can easily personalize the mantra you want to use for the day to fit what is going on. Suggested to choose something that is uplifting and that inspires you to engage and connect with your heart.
Counseling is a collaborative process which involves the development of a confidential, unique, therapeutic, helping relationship. This relationship is unlike any other as I, and other mental health therapists, will act as a facilitator in helping you better understand yourself, the world around you, your feelings, and your behaviors.
