Feeling stressed, low moods keep making you feel demotivated lying on the couch watching daytime TV seems to be an appealing option, while reaching out for high calorific snacks and night time pizza. Friends are beginning to take notice and suggesting you talk to a professional a counsellor...you look at them in disbelief and think "Am I going to talk about myself to a stranger? " How can I possibly be able to open up about my issues and how I feel to someone I never met before, and most of all they don't know who I am?"

Often those reason for not being able to step into therapy are curbed by thoughts such as "I wouldn't know what to talk about it" or "I saw it a stigma". To take steps into therapy is the most difficult decision one has to make, the feeling of nervousness, the idea of talking about personal issue to a stranger is to say the least embarrassing and that doesn't even cut it!
