Counseling

Today I had my first session of counseling, my first thoughts going in were "this is nerve wrecking and scary"! I base alot of my life on what I see on tv and movies so going into that office I thought I was going to lie down on a couch and have someone have me tell them about my life's story, so not the way it went down. It was scary at one point when he told me that if he felt that I was a threat to myself or anyone that he would have to notify his bosses, that was a weird feeling! The counselor gave me some helpful tips on how to get through the day without thinking about my wife leaving me, he advised me to set realistic goals for myself and strive to obtain them. He said that anytime I start to think about my wife to think about the goals I set and think about how I'm going to meet them. I went in there feeling miserable and left feeling ok.
