We are often ashamed to ask for help. And when you need emotional or psychological support, it is even more difficult to do so. The shame stems from the widespread prejudice that those in need of this type of help are not "normal", they are "sick". If it were true all humanity would be sick, because sooner or later in life we all face complicated emotions such as the pain of loss, fear of the future, anger, etc. If you feel this way too, let me clarify a fundamental thing about Counseling: counseling is a non-therapeutic, short and targeted intervention that aims to achieve your well-being through the resolution of a problem that is present in your life. For example, if you have an inner conflict, a discomfort triggered by a significant event (it could be a separation, an illness, a bereavement, the loss of a job, etc.) it is perfectly normal to feel the need for help. The Counselor helps you to help you, through understanding your problems and the emotions connected to them in your interpersonal or social sphere, in your love or professional relationships, in your self-realization. In short, the Counseling intervention is limited to the specific area that you perceive as problematic. The Counseling relationship is based on empathy and trust
