After a recent work incident, my employers have sent me to counselling. I've just got back from my second session. The first session I just let everything that was upsetting me spill out, mostly work but also family stuff - I cried allot!
Todays session went really quickly, I didn't cry so much but feel that it's totally drifted from the work incident to my upbringing!
I feel better in that I've got someone to listen that won't judge me but at times feel like I am being judged i.e when talking about my upbringing and my parents splitting up, the counselling tends to ask questions about abuse and anger which I don't think played a big part in my upbringing. Anyway, I'm also wondering why we've gone down the family route when the initial reason for going was to do with being attacked at work. I don't want to start anaylising my upbringing as I'm fine with it but talking about is making my question some of my parents decisions and I don't want to do that!
Anyway, although a personal question - has anyone been to counselling and does it help?
