More About Your Future Therapist…..
OKAY! A BIT ABOUT ME.
I am not your average, Cup of Coffee. I am the Starbucks Secret Menu. I am genuine and honest. I do not always sugarcoat what I have to say, and I expect you to do the same. I am sometimes clumsy! However, I can laugh at myself. I am only human, right? If you think I am an armchair therapist who will just nod my head, and say,
”Hmm! and how does that make you feel?”
Then I may not be the counselor for you. I want to understand the concerns and issues that have manifested in your life. That requires me to be inquisitive and ask questions of you. I will provide you with absolute positive regard! This means that I always work to understand your issues and concerns from your perspective not my own. For change to happen, I know that you need to trust me, and in order for you to trust me; you need to know I will not judge you!
In counseling sessions, you are the Captain of the Ship and I am your guide. I will support you every step of the way. I will not abandon you! I will be empathetic not sympathetic to your situation. What’s the difference you ask?
What is the difference between empathy and sympathy?
The difference between Empathy and Sympathy is this; Let us say you are taking a leisurely walk, and you come upon a clear box with people trapped inside. If you were Sympathy’ you would say
“I feel so bad for you. Let me get inside the box and help you get out!”
If ‘Empathy’ came along and saw the box it would say,
“Oh no, I feel for your situation! How can I help you get out of the box? Let me look around to see if I can assist you in getting out! Empathy does not get inside the box with you.
As your counselor, I will help you get out of the box, and provide the necessary tools for you to get yourself out of the box in the future.
