“My counselor and I started seeing each other in the midst of hitting as close to bottom as I hope to ever come. Life was a jumbled mess, I had little control over my addictions, and my ability to cope with life was non-existent. My therapist offered a safe place to be vulnerable with my secrets, fears, and addictions. During our time together, my counselor used a multitude of resources. Some of these being; worksheets, movies, music, poetry, stretching, visualizing, and a lot of talking. She even helped me talk to my parents and ask them for their support. Through our sessions I learned coping skills, refusal skills, and how to love myself. She helped to untangle the web of confusion I caught myself in. Today, I am a self-confident, addiction free, well-adjusted college student majoring in Social Work! I hope to someday help young women using similar tools and ideas that she used to help me. If you are lost, angry, hurt, anxious, addicted, or simply want someone to talk to, call Emotional Wellness. Although, it is not easy to ask for help, and the process of getting help is sometimes difficult, it is totally worth it.”
