Resistance to Change

Many of us go through life complaining about things, "life is boring, nothings different, my partner is driving me crazy...!!!"  These are the sorts of things we discuss with our friends, or overhear people talking about when we are out or at work for example. Yet many people don't want to do anything about making things different.

If we keep doing the same things, we will keep getting the same results.  It stands to reason that if nothing is different about what we do then nothing will change.  People expect things, most of the time, to just magically alter and to be different.  Sometimes we are lucky enough that this does happen.  A lot of the time, however, we need to do something about it.  Counselling can do this for you, it offers a platform for discussions to take place - without judgment - where change can be discussed in a safe place. Nothing is going to be overheard or taken as black and white until you decide its the right time and place for that to happen.  We can discuss the possible outcomes and whether they really would suit, sometimes the case can be that it is just fantasy and in actuality the thoughts we were having just couldn't happen in the real world.  Other times it may be the practicalities that need looking at and a plan forming to make the change possible.

There is a lot of resistance to change within some people and it is normally fear that stops us from moving forward, or making the move at all. These fears can a lot of the time be put to rest within the counselling room, and we can work towards where you want to be.

If you keep doing the same thing - You will keep getting the same results!

Make the change - see a counsellor!
