What is counseling What is counseling? What is the use of counseling? When you are confused, can you really use counseling to get spiritual comfort and mental balance? These are the doubts of all people who are engaged in counseling and want to understand counseling and try counseling. There is a legend in ancient Greece that there was a female demon called “Sphinx” near the castle of a kingdom. She spent all day guarding the road that passers-by must pass, let people guess a riddle: “What is four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening”. If the pedestrian could not answer the riddle correctly, she would eat him; if she guessed it, she herself would die. Countless people were unable to guess the riddle, so many people died in the kingdom, and people from outside did not dare to come here, and the kingdom was full of fear at home and abroad. Finally, one day, a young man named “Oedipus” came to the Sphinx, said the mystery of this magical “thing” —- “people”! Sphinx then died, and the riddle has always been passed down. The so-called “authorities are confused”, when the best mourning for those who encountered bad luck in the myth, right? “Sphinx mystery” in today’s us, may not be a problem, but it implies a misunderstanding, but regardless of the times, regardless of ethnicity, regardless of young and old, regardless of gender in each of us: their own many times is not recognize their own, it is difficult to see themselves. And this layer of “confusion” does not bring happiness, the desire to understand the self is the natural need of people, because only to understand the self, understand the real needs and desires, can find the direction in reality, understand the meaning of life, only when you walk very tired very hard, and do not feel aggrieved and remorse; also only to understand the Self, can tear off too much because of the so-called “life” and put on all kinds of “mask”, enjoy the freshness and peace! A person can not really understand themselves, even if they are busy and non-stop, the end is bewildered and painful; even if they are rich and abundant, the end is difficult to help the emptiness …… In fact, the “Sphinx puzzle” has remained forever, people’s lives are constantly deciphering it, interpreting it, hoping to find The “Sphinx” has remained forever, and one’s whole life is to keep deciphering it, interpreting it, hoping to find reasonable personal answers without falling into the “doom and gloom”! Counseling is a relatively convenient or professional way to reveal the “Sphinx Puzzle” with the client, to explore the mind together, to feel the true self, to discover the mystery, and to gain the power to grow and succeed. Because counseling is a kind of spiritual dialogue, in this space of time, you can remove the heavy clothing layer by layer, you can feel free to look at yourself without interference, to think about yourself, not to encounter ridicule, do not have to endure the evaluation, there are only listening, attention, empathy and challenge, you can concentrate on the depths of the soul! Different problems are encountered at different times, so counseling is necessary for everyone, but the way to seek it is different: to parents, to friends, to spirits, to prophets, to the “objective me”, to professional counselors, and the different ways have different results, such as expressing your feelings, sympathy and comfort, guidance and instruction. …… Today, the work of counseling is more standardized and mainly attributed to professional counselors, so that counseling can help people more practically, so that they can walk out of the counseling situation still loaded with the feeling of being cared for, and can learn to cope with situations in reality: study, work, life! What does counseling really feel like? Imagine a desert, you are the only trekker there, you are tired, lonely and thirsty, suddenly there is an oasis in front of you, feel the mood of the moment; you pick up a water, cherish and start to moisten your lips, throat, stomach and body; look back at the road you have walked, look at the oasis, look at the road ahead, wash your face, and then walk forward, experience a worthwhile! –This process is what counseling feels like!
