Comments on: Why Should You Pay for Counseling or Therapy? http://docinthebiz.com/blog/why-should-you-pay-for-counseling-or-therapy/ THINK WELL to FEEL WELL...It's All About Being Emotionally Healthy!

Every client is so unique, that different techniques work for different people. I believe that it is the therapists’ job to figure out what will work best for each individual client by listening to them and by ASKING them. If a client brings up the idea of religion, a higher power or spirituality, then a therapist can work with that. Therapy is not about a therapist imposing his/her views on a client, but asking the right questions to have the clients come up with their own answers. To me, that is what makes a good therapist. The idea of therapy is for complete confidentially and feelings of safety so that a person, male or female can feel comfortable sharing without having anyone judge them. People can seek therapy and have every right to keep it to themselves, hence keeping the stigma somewhat at bay. I hope that makes sense. That’s why I think online counseling is such a wonderful idea. Again, thank you for your comment and for writing to me here. All my best, Dr. KC www.DOCintheBiz.com www.GLCzone.com Dear James,

The main thing is that has been neglected is social stigma and institution stigma that can affect a person rights to get a job or even purchase a fire arm in they feel the need for protection for themselves of for their family. The Spirit Healing portion of therapy is one that is often not allowed by practitioners due to certain rights changes in the constitution. I do not believe in forcing a religion but introducing the Idea that there is a high universal power to people that they have access to that will help them to work with their issues and heal them and eventually be able to reach others to seek help. Many men to do seek help because it is a socially "weak sign among males". So few go for mental help while females go for help. Thank you.

To address the issues of why people tend to sometimes think of other things as being more important than their mental/emotional and even physical health. This happens more often than not. There are many reasons! Some people remain in denial that they have issues, while others try to help themselves on their own and others don’t have the financial resources to pay for therapy. That is one of the reasons I offer help here online for an affordable price. Please refer to the article entitled <a href="http://docinthebiz.com/blog/the-affordability-of-on-line-therapy/" rel="nofollow">The Affordability of On-Line Therapy</a> to read more. I thank you very much for your comment and hope that you will continue to read and post here as your insight is always welcome! Dr. KC www.DOCintheBiz.com Dear Dude,

But, people tend to hold back when it comes to their health, thinking that it "will go away" on it's own. It's hard to justify spending those hard earned dollars on something you don't think you need. How many people suffer from eating disorders, and won't seek help? I agree.

For some reason, knowing that you have given something more than just your time, feeds motivation and inspiration for change. Learning that you’re not alone in the world or the only one dealing with an issue is a healer in and of itself and that’s where communication comes in! Thank you so much for your comment.

And what is payment, if not energy? Communication to me is giving, and giving is receiving. To some it may sound sound a little too Biblical, but I feel that the more we withhold, the more separated and isolated we become. I suppose we can "do it on our own", but the process is slow and difficult. Maybe for some like hermit monks, it is spiritually advantageous, but for most of us, we are nowhere near ready for that form of discipline. I see the act of paying as an one of sharing and communicating and part of the therapeutic process itself. What I have found interesting over the years, is the number of people who seem to have inhibitions about communication about money as they do about their sexuality. Suddenly this seems to be getting (or I am making it) quite complex, so I think I'd better stop writing now.. :-) In my experience as a therapist over the years, I feel that sharing on all levels is a sharing of energy and it is a powerful therapeutic tool.

Finding a good therapist is not an easy task, but then again, finding someone that’s right for you as far as in any relationship, be it a personal trainer, a medical doctor, or a romance takes work, commitment, patience and time! But when you do find the right person to help you with your needs, your life can change in wonderful ways. Thank you so much for your comment. Please keep reading and posting! It is very appreciated!
