Of interest to people interested in therapy/counselling

I thought I'd paste the link to this bit of research which has just been published here in NZ. I've been reading it this morning (when I should have been working!) and found it really good.

While it is very NZ focussed, it may be of use to other people who are thinking about getting counselling or therapy, and what sort of thing might suit them best of the available options and types of therapy. I think there are some very useful tips also in thinking about what to expect from a counselling or therapeutic relationship!!!

It is a research report and 86 pages long, so it wont be for everyone, but the language is not too difficult!

It's like, if there's something you know about me, and I don't, just fn tell me, and I'll sort it out myself.

The ego of some of these university educated people with zero life experience, how can they presume to know anything about me, without discussing it, and giving me a chance to explain?

How can they say I'm being defensive, if I have very good reasons for not discussing certain things. And is it really any of their business? What do they want, exactly? And if they're so interested in helping people shouldn't they be getting help for their codependency?

Lols I have issues
