your questioning, or doubt. |

|
| Q2 : Is it necessary for me to receive counseling service? |
| In general, most of us seek to receive or are refered to receive the counseling
service with many reasons such as Hurts from the past, depression, dealing
with anger, crisis in personal life , making balancing life, stopping drinking,
grumbling, smoking, dealing with guilty after abortion, for the advice for raising
children,etc. |
|
| Q3 : What should I do if I want to receive counseling? |
| You already know and understand what the counseling is. However, you might
wonder if it is necessary for you to get counseling. You might worry what you
have to do or prepare, if you really have to get the counseling.If you still have
these questions in your mind, we are glad to answer all of your questions so
that we can help you effectively. |
|
| Q4 : Why I have to tell someone whom I do not know? |
| Generally, we would ask for advises from someone who is very close to us
such as our family members, friends. We would feel more secure and we Know
that we can trust them. However, to counsel with professional counselor is far
better than to get counseling from your friends or family members.
Some people are afraid that their confidentiality will not be kept, some are
afraid of being looked down, or rejected. However, it is worth to take risk to tell
your problem with someone who is professional counselor. |
|
| Q5 : Am I so stressful that I have to receive counseling service? |
Sometimes, you might hear the some people said "one who seek to receive
counseling is insane or stressful". There are some warnings as "be careful if
you seek the counseling, you might become mentally sick", or going to the
counselor, then you might get mental sickness and so on. We want to chanllenge you to have new prospective and information about our institute
so that you can change your attitude toward counseling and accept that you
can get the benefits from this service. It is true that some patients who come
to seek cousnelign or mental therapy are havign mental problem or in another
word "mental sickness". However, counseling is not only used for this kind of
people but also for those who do not have any mental problem. These people
just want to develop their quality of life, skills such as counseling for stress
management and dealing with pressure from works. Stress or pressure here
can happen with ordinary people. Stress is normal for those who are working,
you can see that some people are dealing well with their stress, but some
people are not. In this case for those who cannot deal with their tension, they
can seek counseling from us so that they can develop their skills to deal with it,
or adjust themselves to the tension they are facing. We also offer other counseling services for them in order to develop and improve other skills in the
areas of their life. |
|
| Q6 : Am I the cause of my problem or so hopeless that I have to see
the counselor? |
Naturally, we all have problems, and normally, we respond to asking helps and
seeking counseling differently. There are some people who think that "my problem is small, I can solve by myself, why I need to find someone to help me.
Depending on others means "I am weak", so, I need to deal with my problem myself". However, there is another group of people who think that "I have
problem but I am not the cause of my problem, why I need to receive counseling service. It is better a person who is the cause of the problem to see the counselor, not me" If you are thinking like one of these persons, please do no refuse to choose our service. Surely, it is your personal right. If you are worried that seeking our counselign means you are weak and dependable, we want to tell you that many people who seeked our counseling
proved that they were strong and able to stand by themselves. They are seeking the new soloution to solve their problem by themselves. However,
sometimes they are limited or lack experience or skills, so they can not deal
with their problem alone. They need helps from someone who is skillful, and
able to help them. This is the way we share our experience to help each other
in our society. Therefore, when you find out that you are having problem and
need helps, it does not means that you have no way out, but now you are brave to face the reality and your limitation and gladly accept the helps from
others so that you can walk together with them though the problem you are
facing. The second case is you do not want to be a part of counseling, because you do not think you are not the cause of the problem, you can use
your right to choose or not choose our counseling. In fact, from our experience
it is not necessary that the counselee is not always the cause of the problem
such as family counseling, it seems that there is one member in the family
cause problem but in fact he is not. He does not cause the problem but in fact
every one in the family is a part of this problem. Same as yours, although you
do not cause the problem (no one want to be accused like this), you are a part
of it. Then you would rather open your heart for our counseling service, you will
find that you can help stop this problem. |

| Q7 : If I receive the counseling, can it really help me? |
Some people worried that counseling cannot really hlep them. The reason they thought like this because they thought that counseling was releasing suffering by talking with someone. It was the way to help mentally but was not
the way to find the solution for the problem. For some of those who understood the counseling well but they might not have right attitude toward the counseling, they might think that counseling was non-sense, it was the
process that people could talk about their pain in their past. If you have any idea like this, we would like to challenge you to find out from us how counselign can help you.
It is true that counselign is the process that helps mentally, it allows you to
release your suffering, tension and worries, and then after that you will feel
good and relaxed. However, it is only the first benefit. Counseling goal is not
just making your happy, but also healing your deep wound in your life, changing your emotion to be more stable, changing some of your behaviors that cause problems, and finally helping you deal with your problem. It is really
good start if you feel relaxed during your first session, which means you can get the basic benefit from the couseling. However, if you want to find complete
solution, you and your counselor need to work together, both you and counselor share your responsibilities. If both you and we are working together, we believe that you will definitely find the right solution for your problem.
However, sometimes the process of basic counseling might not bring happiness to the counselee right away, some people who received the counseling service before might experience more hurting when they had to talk about their wound or hurt in the past with the strangers. It was very boring
to talk repeatedly about their bad experience in the past. However, we cannot
skip this step, but when we asked you tot ell us about your hurt, it was not to
make your hurt, the goal is to take out pus from your wound (to heal your wound). Normally, you could feel hurt when you recalled about bad experience
but if you can complete the process, you will experience freedom and no more
paint or hurt. You will find out that you can solve the problem that you think
you can not deal with. If you are confident and patient, and allow yourself to
get hurt one more time, then you will experience that counseling is truly useful
to reinforce and enable you to solve your problem. |
