What is the difference between counseling and
therapy?
We will be using the words counseling and therapy interchangeably.
There are many different kinds of counseling such as career
counseling or debt counseling. There are also many types of therapy
like physical therapy or gene therapy. We will be talking about the
psychological types of counseling and therapy.
How can it help
me?
Therapy can help alleviate emotional pain and suffering. It can
teach you new skills with which you can successfully deal with the
problems at hand. It can save a marriage. It can help increase your
self esteem. It can give you hope that there is a better way, or a
way out. It can do all these things and more. The only thing it
can't do is change you. You have to do that by yourself. You have
to take the skills or new ideas and put them into practice in your
life. We continually tell our clients that unless they take what
they learned and put it into practice out in the world, counseling
will do them no good.
