Summary
Overview
“No one can understand” is a common phase many people experience and more so “no one to talk to about it” is also very common. Friends are there to help us or give us advice whenever we need it. But counseling is not giving advice. Friends are mostly not judgmental but they almost always get emotionally involved in to what is going on or what an individual is going through which strays away from being objective. Expressing difficult feelings, suppressed feelings in a confidential, non-judgmental, non-emotionally involved, objective environment is what counseling provides.
Authenticity is a very important character a counselor must have because if a client senses that the counselor is not sincere and authentic they might close up and will not open up and express themselves.
