Many of you have probably noticed that I’ve only been online twice in the last two weeks which hasn’t happened before unless I was on holiday. The reason for this is that a week and a half ago I’ve started taking courses in counseling. I honestly don’t know how exactly that happened.
All I can say is that I was partly influenced by a conversation with someone and partly by somebody else who has mentioned this course very briefly. Although I don’t really speak to those people anymore, I feel like the Universe has somehow arranged these meetings for me so that I would finally act upon this desire of mine to help people. Yes, its true, the Universe works in strange ways and it does so for reasons that sometimes are beyond our capacity of understanding.
To some of you counseling may sound like bullshit. One of the most common phrases I’ve heard about people who do this job is “Counselors want to fix other people while completely broken themselves.” Maybe there is some truth in that, because at the end of the day, what human being isn’t broken? But the part that is highly misunderstood about counseling practitioners is that they don’t try to fix you. It isn’t for them to do so. Counselors are there to be your friend, and the relationship built between the therapist and the client has to be based on trust. Don’t we all want somebody who will listen and unconditionally accept us for all our faults and flaws?
This is a big step for me because it finally feels like I am doing something that Is truly meaningful to me, something that fills the voids that were missing before. As a matter of fact, I’ve found that camming and counseling are very much related to one another. I don’t think we need to ask ourselves why, but how many of you have I actually counseled before, sometimes without even being asked for it?
With that in mind, thank you for being so supportive even though I am missing out on spending so many days online with you guys. It is only temporary.
P.S: On that note, I am working on an Instagram account about self discovery and what I have learned so far about it. If you would like to check it out, below you can find the link that will take you to the page. Follow and turn on notifications to find out when I post. Thank youuu!
