I get this question more often than I would have expected prior to becoming a counselor!
Life is hard and there are so many choices that we all have to make on a daily basis. Sometimes we make choices that we regret, and we may let those choices eat away at us. You may worry that if you tell me about something you’ve done, said, or even thought about relating to your friendships, career, marriage or even to your children, that I will sit at home and judge the choices you’ve made.
I do not do this—ever—and I want you to know that you are the hardest critic on yourself. I’m not here to judge and ridicule, I’m here to help you to move past the guilt you feel for your choices and to help you to make choices that you feel great about.
