Seek Wise Counsel with Anita Arrunategui

 

“Go get some counseling.”

To some that may feel like a cup of cold water on a sweltering hot summer day. You have had signs and symptoms of anxiety, feeling down, hopeless even. Maybe you can’t sleep and it has been taking a toll on you. You snap at your loved ones and find it difficult to even think. Others, who may have heard the same advice to seek counsel cringe inside. They question their own sanity and feel shame that their struggles have been exposed to another. They may become angry and isolate themselves not wanting anyone else to witness their difficulties. 

I have some good news:

Stigma associated with this word is just that and isn’t true. If you fall into the second category of people you are missing out on an extremely important component to obtaining health and freedom to walk out your life in wholeness and victory. Counsel is actually all about truth and applying it to your life. Let’s face it. Many of us have undergone very trying childhoods with dysfunctions that a child should never have to experience. I have written a plethora of articles pointing to these various issues. There are more dysfunctions to be uncovered and I hope to share them all one day. But for now just let it sink in that counsel is necessary for all people; not just reserved for the ones we label as not being able to get their act together or those who are somehow “screwed up”.

Equate for a moment a fundamental comparison between seeking counsel for personal emotional or relationship issues and seeking counsel from a lawyer. It’s the same if you really think about it. A lawyer understands the laws in place in your state or country and will teach you the law and guide you on how to follow the law to avoid consequences and retain your freedoms and move forward. A counselor understands the laws in place for relationships and emotions and uses that wisdom and knowledge to guide a person. Furthermore, a temperament counselor, who has studied the inborn tendencies of an individual, which is the blueprint of one’s propensities, has further understanding of  the personal “laws” in place and shows you how to best operate in that to avoid consequences, gain freedom and move forward. You are given that counsel, connecting the dots of where you are currently stuck in life and the to navigate you into a better place. Of course they make the suggestions while you then are free to make the decision to walk out your life in this new light or not.

Our job description includes counsel, teach, bring truth, guide, empower, encourage, increase your hunger for healthy life choices, and connect you with an improved path to walk out your next endeavor. Let us assist you today…
