Signs it may be time to see a counsellor
They say insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results. Maybe you are just unlucky, a victim of circumstance or maybe the problem is within and you need to have some introspection.
There comes a
time when you get sick and tired of being sick and tired and need to take steps
to address recurrent issues. If the problem is emotional, there is no shame in
seeing a professional because we all need the occasional help to get over a
hump.
Below are some
signs you may need to seek professional help:
1. Nothing you do seems to help or alleviate
the situation: If you see no solution, then maybe an expert can help you
find some options for that needed resolution.
2. People around you are tired of hearing
about it: This is a signal that you have ‘overshared’ so much that they no
longer want to hear it.
3. It is causing your considerable discomfort
and distress: You should not be putting out fires at every turn. If you are
living in an ongoing nightmare, you need to wake up from the dream you have
cocooned yourself in.
4. Others begin to bring it up: When you
are being called out on your mess, the mess is beginning to stink!
5. You’ve developed unhealthy ways to help cope
with the problem: If you are turning to over-the-counter, prescription or
illegal medications to get through the day, you are in a bad way and need to
seek professional help as soon as possible.
