For Professional Counseling Sarasota Residents Check Listings

By Paulette Mason


It is always advantageous to seek help for an emotional disturbance as soon as possible. Just like the physical malady, without being attended to the mental distress can only grow worse. For those living in the area in need of counseling sarasota has multiple listings of professional counselors.

An example of an obsessed individual is one who washes her hands dozens of times a day. She washes them carefully with soap, yet never feels they are as clean as they should be. She ends up with dry, rough skin and is unhappy about this repeat behavior.

She knows they are clean. But, she cannot stop herself from standing at the sink, turning on the faucet and washing them again. Even a surgeon does not wash her hands as frequently as this obsessed person does.

She knows she has locked it. She knows it is pointless to check it five times. Yet she is driven to continue repeating this action every time she leaves her home.

Another person may be obsessive about cleaning. There was one person who washed walls every week, washed windows and scrubbed floors every day. Her home was beyond immaculate. However, her family often ate sandwiches since she had no time to prepare dinner.

The different types of counseling include the long duration psychoanalysis and the brief and to the point cognitive behavioral therapy. Psychoanalysis requires a considerable investment of both time and money. A client may take three or four sessions a week to explore his life from day one to present.

This is impractical. There are short-term types such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This tackles the immediate problem. A series of counseling sessions are agreed to.

Most women simply avoid spiders whenever possible. Others are terrified when they see one. Not only that, but when there are no spiders in sight, they worry senselessly about the possibility of one appearing.

One example is the woman who was afraid of dogs. She would break out in a cold sweat just walking past one being walked on a leash. The dog could be a Great Dane or a a Chihuahua. It made no difference in the intensity of the fear she experienced.

She may first be asked to look at pictures of dogs in a book. After growing less alarmed at that, she may be asked to watch movies featuring dogs. Next, she may visit the humane society.

A dog park is a place where dogs can run free. There is usually a section for large dogs and one for small dogs. She will visit first the small dog area and then the large dog area. Her success is assured on the day she is able to pet a dog.

She may never know what childhood event made her fear dogs. She may never adopt a dog as a pet. However, she will be able to walk down the street without feeling extreme fear at the sight of each dog that passes on the sidewalk.

This is an example of how a counselor can help. There are CBT therapists who resolve problems in a short time. If there is a problem serious enough to negatively impact your life, turn to a professional.
