found majority of 'counselors' to be control freaks, in need of serious counsel themselves. Try a long walk in the fresh air first. Or go dancing. Works for me every time. We have the skills to unwrap ourselves if we let it happen. xo

A walk outside can completely change my state and is a good place to start. Just like a physical ailment, sometimes you just need rest and sometimes you need medical attention. It depends on the severity of the case. I think the people leaving replies are just trying to be helpful and some posts do seem quite severe, possibly needing the crisis line. Judging by the long wait times to see a counselor, I doubt that they are trying to build up business. Of the three appointments I have ever had, two were really helpful,warm and caring, and one was not. If the experience is not good, look elsewhere.

Here's my card. You need work.
