Friends are beginning to take notice and suggesting you talk to a professional a counsellor...you look at them in disbelief and think "Am I going to talk about myself to a stranger? " How can I possibly be able to open up about my issues and how I feel to someone I never met before, and most of all they don't know who I am?"
Often those reason for not being able to step into therapy are curbed by thoughts such as "I wouldn't know what to talk about it" or "I saw it a stigma". To take steps into therapy is the most difficult decision one has to make, the feeling of nervousness, the idea of talking about personal issue to a stranger is to say the least embarrassing and that doesn't even cut it!
