Prior to beginning life counseling, I believed I could handle any situation that came my way. With the support of my counsellor, I was able to identify the emotional blocks stemming from unsolved difficulties in my past. This experience has helped me develop more positive coping mechanisms, establish healthy boundaries, and boost my self-esteem. Life counselling provides the necessary support and direction to help individuals heal from their prior experiences. It's about more than simply talking; it's about getting past the hurt and finding the strength to move forward.
