Is counseling a long-term commitment?

Not necessarily. It very much depends on your needs.

Sometimes one session can be enough to clarify doubts or release tension. At other times, more sessions are required. Counseling is however a process that can start and stop at anytime.

The opposite. Asking for help when we  need it demonstrates great strength. Sometimes we feel we should be able to resolve our  problems on our own, but none of us can solve all of our problems alone all the time. Letting another person help us  is an indication of strength because, it takes a lot of courage to face and share our problems. Once we have decided to get help, we have already taken a big step toward positive change.
