Individuals attend counseling for a wide range of reasons. Many desire a sense of fulfillment and others wish to function more effectively. Individual counseling can take any number of paths depending on whether the individual wishes to address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship or work problems, or is simply in search of more meaning in his / her life.
Many people hope that they will never need to seek marriage counseling. They set out with dreams and desires for an emotional union that will provide fulfillment, joy, love and companionship forever. Life happens, however, and the dreams sometimes seem difficult to obtain. Sometimes it's a partner's behavior, an addiction, an affair, a family crisis, parenting differences, a troubled child, financial concerns or a personal crisis.
What distinguishes a family from any other group is the loyalty, emotional connection and durability of the relationships that exist within a family. No other group of individuals typically generates this level of emotion or commitment. When individuals marry to form a new family they have expectations for creating a place where they can feel loved, supported and fulfilled.
Anger, substance use, sadness, loneliness, anxiety, avoidance and self-esteem issues can result from many different syndromes including trauma and abuse. It can be difficult without proper training, to discern the difference between depression and anxiety, and the depression and anxiety that is secondary to trauma and abuse unless the symptom profile of trauma and abuse is well understood.
Coaching is a relatively new industry that is not highly regulated at this time. Anyone can become a coach but not everyone knows how to be effective at coaching. When an individual meets with a coach, they are seeking help to facilitate some form of change. Change is a complex process that requires more than just inspiration, empathy or giving advice.
