I'm out in limbo land myself and am not in a place where i can offer sane advice. All I can say is that my counselor has helped. I did feel as if I was only talking, but I have put in practice what I've learned here and now I begin each session with what I would like to accomplish - be it work on self-esteem, improve communications, etc. He's helped me with his insight and, as I talk, he's helped me analyze and look at things differently. I also told him from the beginning I was looking for solutions and I've been coming up with them, with his guidance. At first I thought, what a rip off, i'm doing all the work here and wasting my money. But now, the more I do it, the better I'm getting at finding the solutions on my own and the easier it will be to walk without him telling me what to do. Does this make sense?
