Going for Help
| Tue, 01-02-2007 - 1:49am |
I have decided to go for professional help, for although I grew a lot in the last year, it is best that I seek a helping hand going forward. Like I said a while back, I want to have sex, but at the same time, I am afraid to embrace and exude my sexuality. As a result, I act nice and modest to girls, thinking that it will win my sexual favors. How silly! I want to be a great lover, a philanderer. I want to feel good about myself and am entitled to have as many adventures as I want.
While it feels a little pathetic that I have to tell myself all these things, it is a start, I suppose. Tomorrow I will find someone who can help me embrace my sexuality.

Let me share just one thought...
The greatest lovemaking happens between two people who love and trust each other completely. Love and trust can only happen with another person if you also love and trust yourself.
If the professional help you're seeking is with a counselor to discuss the idea of how to love yourself more fully, then bravo!! I think that's wonderful and a great start to the new year.
AJ, enjoying life with C.
Congrats on your big step forward. I think it can take a lot of courage to admit you can do it all on your own.
Counseling was the BEST thing I ever did for myself and I'm sad that my new insurance won't help with the expense for better mental health. My advice is to find a counselor you like, and this make take a few tries. You may just not feel comfortable with a certain counselor, trust your gut and make a change if necessary. It's okay to 'interview' a counselar, talk to them on the phone briefly before scheduling an appt. Ask them about their training, their methods, their views...anything to get them talking so you can guage them.
Keep us updated and good luck!
