Can we fix it?
We can't fix other people that's for sure. We don't have the power to change anyone but ourselves.
Can we fix the problems of the past?
No, but we can understand our responses better and that in itself is empowering.
Will counselling fix me?
Sometimes counsellors are seen as people who have it all sorted themselves and are in a position to fix others.
Sadly this isn't true.
But what a counsellor does have, is a toolbox of skills and an ability to come alongside you in the difficulties you face and find a way to understand them and yourself differently. When we understand ourselves better, we can experience the world better.
That's been my journey.
And I'm glad I didn't have a Bob fixing everything for me, as I needed to fix and accept things for myself.
