need a little encouragement

[kissak]

my concern is finding a counselor that will not say " there is no hope for you, time to move on." I think that is what he wants to hear and is just afraid to make that decision on his own. He said he is only willing to go 2 or 3 times at the most unless he sees that it is helping. He did say he would like to go and talk to someone without me at least once, which sounds like a great idea to me.
