What happens at a first counselling session?

With a few trips to the electronics store, and a little trial and error, me and mine (well, mostly the “mine”, to tell the truth) have figured out how to make and upload videos. I’m kinda liking how it turned out.

Although I’m a bit of an introvert by nature, and being in front of the camera is so not on my top 10 list of things to do, it’s my goal to get more comfortable with it, and to challenge myself in the endeavour.

A lot of our clients are quite apprehensive about the whole counselling thing, and may avoid it. They don’t avoid it because they don’t have the money, or the time, or the need-but because it makes them uncomfortable and they dread doing something new that they have never done before. They worry they might not do it right, or might be laughed at, or might freeze up or…or…or….

So, I figure it’s not fair for me to expect clients to do anything in coming to session that I wouldn’t do myself…so I pushed myself to try this video thing.

It really wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, and….I did it! (with a LOT of help. Thanx, A!)
