counseling

In an effort to prepare for an exciting new opportunity, I'm asking you guys out there in Blog World for a favor. If you have been to some sort of therapist or counselor, can you share with me about your experience?

I have not been a big supporter of therapy, at least for myself. I know I am pretty ignorant, with the exception of how it is portrayed in the media and from my friends or family who have gone. I understand that it can be very helpful in diagnosing mental problems such as depression, and when it comes to marriage counseling, it can be beneficial to have a mediator who is impartial.

A brilliant idea: two boys have constant problems with each other in school. The counselors decide it would be best to get their parents together to discuss solutions to the fighting. It would be brilliant... except the reason those two boys are bullies to each other is apparently the influence of their daddies.
