Hell No to Hmmm Maybe: Considering counseling? Making an informed and thoughtful decision (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781775175193)

Have you said, "Hell NO!!" to the idea of counseling before the words finished leaving the mouth of the person suggesting it?

Written by a counselor who has also resisted therapy for all the same reasons everyone else does, this book uses stories and easy explanations to better understand what counseling is--and isn't. Spoiler alert--therapy is on sure sign of raw courage, not wimpiness or weakness.

What if--just what if--you're missing out on something that could transform the way you live and love?

For many, seeing a therapist is so intimidating, they dismiss the idea without ever exploring their hesitations. What if you could think through those reactions with a book, rather than pushing it away or forcing yourself to go against your better judgement

Carolyn demystifies the therapy process, and empowers the reader to make a thoughtful and reasoned choice about attending therapy. Engaging, entertaining and story filled, she educates the reader about how to participate in the therapy process to make it do-able.

Sections in this book include:

1. Great Reasons not to attend therapy (Not everybody needs a therapist!)
2. Excuses to avoid therapy (Hey, they may be lousy, but they are most people's knee jerk justifications)
3. Real reasons why people go to counseling (Thoughtful, nuanced brave explanations)
4. The counseling conundrum (How to go to therapy when the reasons why to go to therapy are what stop you from considering it-anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma etc.)

Hell No to Hmmm Maybe won't tell you to do anything. Rather, it will give you the toolsyou need to make the best decision for you about therapy. Don't we all make better choices when we have all the information?

If you are in Human Resources or a Social Worker or even the friend/loved one of someone who may be considering therapy but has significant hesitations, this book may be a helpful resource to provide to that person.

How is a person supposed to make a decision to something so out of their comfort zone without more information?

Hell No to Hmmm Maybe is just the resource that will empower the reader to make an informed choice about counseling.
