Understanding the Limits of Counseling

Common Misconceptions Counseling is not a magic solution. It requires effort and participation from both the counselor and the client. It's important to set realistic expectations:

• No Quick Fixes: Counseling is a process, not an instant solution to life’s problems.

• Non-directive: Counselors guide discussions and provide support but do not dictate decisions or actions.

  
  

FAQs

• Can counseling fix my life immediately? Counseling offers tools and insights to better manage challenges, but change is a gradual process.
