Talking therapy with a trained therapist involves listening to your concerns and assisting you in resolving them. Although talking therapies in general are sometimes referred to as "counseling," counseling is also a type of therapy in and of itself. What problems can counseling solve? Counseling can assist you in an upsetting physical health condition like infertility; a difficult life event like a death in the family, a breakup in a relationship, or work-related stress; difficult emotions like low self-esteem or anger; other issues like sexual identity.
Ok. I think the content in the last 3/4 or so of the book is fantastic. I’m not a fan of parts of the first chapter - I think counselors need a better resource that isn’t focused so much on stereotypes. Cultural diversity is more complex than what the authors portray in much of this book. Overall it is a good resource, but there is room for improvement.
