Guidance & Support

 

It is important to remember that

THE PROBLEM IS THE PROBLEM THE PERSON IS NOT THE PROBLEM

Being Happy - Andrew Matthews

 

 

With this in mind it is possible to explore how the problem is affecting lives and empower a person to combat or take action to combat the problem.

Problems can be rated on a 1 to 10 scale. One the problem is having minimal affect, 10 the problem is having an extreme affect.

When a problem gets us stuck up near a 10 we sometimes need help to explore how to manage it. Counselling is one form of help. It is not about the counsellor fixing the problem. It is about the counsellor helping explore the problem’s affects and possible ways of dealing to the problem, enabling a person to discover they have choices, possibly have managed this type of problem already and can take action.

There are a number of names for problems we encounter throughout our lives. Sometimes we meet these problem and they are a 1 other times they can be a 5 , 7 , 9 or 10. These problems get us to think, act and communicate in ways that are not always helpful to us. We can take back control over how we think, act and communicate and make changes to eradicate problems.

Reactions to difficulties and life events create emotional responses. Positive emotional responses are fantastic and have us feeling great. Not so good emotional responses need to be noticed. Those emotions are sending us a message that we need to take notice of.

The message is

SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE!!

We need to change either

How we think

How we act

How we communicate

 

 

There are only TWO things we seek in our lives

 

1. To Have Pleasure

2. To Avoid Pain
