Advice & Tips
It really depends on the person/problem/counselor, but I see counseling as a whole as a positive thing. Don't let others sway you until you try it for yourself, or if you have had a bad experience, find someone new and try again.

Advice & Tips
I found this to be one of the worst things I could do for myself. It could be merely a bad match, or it could be that there is no such thing as good counselling for me. I wish I really knew. Every so often I decide I'm going to try it, but seriously I can't say that I'm ever that happy with the results.
