6. Counseling 101 - What will the first counseling session be like?
Daniel Crosby • April 19, 2024
Fear of the unknown is something that trips a lot of us up. My greatest compliment is when someone leaves their first counseling appointment and says, "Wow, that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!"
Today I'll tell you what you can expect from your first counseling appointment with me.
Two ways a counselor might help you get uncomfortable and grow: 1. Systematic Desensitization is progressively working your way up to do harder things until you reach your goal and the hard things don't feel as hard anymore. 2. Flooding is when you conquer the struggle by going all in and confronting it head on. It's like teaching someone to swim by throwing them in the deep end of the pool. Could these things help you overcome some complacency? Come see me and we can talk more about it. www.danielcrosbycounseling.com
Hurt Discomfort vs Harm Discomfort? What's the difference? One is good for you....keep doing more of that one! It helps you grow. The other is destroying you...so stop doing that one today! If you're struggling to know the difference, this is where counseling can help. Come see me. www.danielcrosbycounseling.com
"Growth and Comfort Don't Coexist" The scariest thing about getting uncomfortable is doing it alone. I want to offer you a safe judgement free zone to say the uncomfortable things out loud. If you're uncomfortable with your lack of growth then come see me and we'll dig into it together. www.danielcrosbycounseling.com
