I’m starting counseling. Recently I hit a new low. This low point some changes in motion. One of the changes is that I’m going to start counseling. I have my first appointment coming up and before I can start therapy I need to fill out some new client forms. All the questions were easy and straight forward, no brainers (name, sex, ssn, etc.).
The last question is one that I’m having a hard time answering. “What do you hope to change or accomplish by seeking help at this time?” They are asking me for an end point and I just don’t know. This is a good question. You can’t evolve into who you want to be if you don’t know who you want to be. The counselor and I can’t map out an action plan if there is no end goal. I’m excited to do some exploration and come up with an end goal. I’m glad that I have till Mid August before my first appointment because it gives me time to really evaluate who I want to be. I think the more clear my end point is the more likely I am to reach it.
I will share my answer once I write it.
