What's it like?

So because she found out about my cutting my mom is now going to make me go to counseling. I really don't want to do it. I was wondering what is it like, I mean I don't want to do it but she's going to make me and I have no choice.

If you get a good counsellor, it's really helpful. They ask you how you feel, they want to help you, want to know what makes you feel sad so they can stop you from hurting yourself. They are paid to understand how you feel and to help you. Just tell him/her everything. They just want to know what has driven you to this, and what you can do instead and what they can do to change it.

There's two types, the good ones and the shit ones. More times than not, you will get a shit one. That's okay though, you just have to find the right one. I remember when I found the right one, it made such a difference to me, I mean it depends on you as a person as to whether it works for you. Some people don't get anything out of talking to someone, sometimes you need other methods and you'll realise that when you have a few sessions with the person in question. Make sure you actually want to do it though, there's no point if you have no motivation at all, you'll end up not listening or taking on board anything that's said to you. Some will genuinely care, you just have to wade your way through the shit ones.
