...who is kinda tired of seeing SO many people saying " Go to counseling " for every personal problem??

I mean, for fuc*s sake, what ever happened to people just working sh*t out on their own? When did it become necessary to spend 100 bucks an hour to have someone sit there and tell you that you are screwed up??

And has anyone else noticed that it seems that there are a lot more fuc*ed up people DESPITE all the " counseling " available??

If you absolutely CAN'T work something out in your own head, then fine....by all means....go see someone. But having the line " seek a counselor " as anything but a last resort is just a bit ridiculous.

" But my ex was so terrible to me...." well guess what...that's just life.

" But my parents beat me and verbally abused me as a child..."...again.....so what? Not everyone's life was perfect. Are you dead??? No??? Then deal with it. If you absolutely can't...THEN seek a counselor to help. Don't go grabbing a crutch until you are sure your legs are broken.

Sorry...just a little bit of a rant.

I went to counseling once, but it was court ordered,

when i was a kid,i thought a shrink was a person who shrinks people

When i tell people to seek counseling it's because I don't want to give them advice and have it hurt them instead of help them. chances are I'm not qualified to help them. If my advice hurts them bad enough they can sue me. therefore the best advice I can give them without getting into trouble myself is to seek counseling.

ahaha i thought the same

been there done that
