Counseling

This week is National Crime Victim's Rights Week. The Dallas Country Crime Victim's Council (which I am a part of) has many resources to assist people who have been victims of crime. You can search their page for resources as well as the website. I will try to share various posts from them throughout this week.

After so many years of working with clients who have been traumatized, it still surprises me how people tend to blame themselves for being victimized. Everyone deserves to live a life free from the pain that trauma brings.
If you need counseling for trauma, please contact us at 214-883-7073. You can view our website for services offered.

From the time we begin to hold our children when they cry to when we begin kissing their booboos, we begin to believe that our lot in life is to prevent our children from experiencing any pain or struggle. With the best of intentions, we may enable them by doing things for them they can do for themselves or by keeping them from experiencing the natural consequences of their actions. This is what becomes truly crippling for them. Allowing their struggle (and sometimes their pain) are what makes it necessary for them to fly.



So the next time you feel compelled to protect them from their life experience; ask yourself, do you want them to be crippled? Or do you want them to fly?

If you or your child are in need of counseling please contact us at 214-883-7073. Look at the website at www.collinscounselingcetner.org to view our full list of services.

I promised that when I opened this page, I would not post more than twice a week (this is an exception). I've liked people's pages before and been inundated with posts so I've had to "unlike" as quickly as I've "liked". I've been a counselor for almost 30 years. I've worked with everything from mental illness and addiction to trafficking and assault, to people who have been victim's of crime (Any crime conceivable) so if you want me to post about a specific topic I'll be happy to discuss what I've seen in the many years I've worked, the books I've read, and the trainings in which I've participated. Understand that it might be a while before I answer since I'm only posting twice a week.
