Breaking Counseling And Therapy Into A Few Simple Words In This Rhyme For Me And You

Counseling

is listening

to learn

what it is to turn

this person around

love will abound

****

Listen

is my mission

for learning

what is burning

inside of this heart

love is the start

****

Love, listen, and learn

is what drops the concern

We can get through anything

Self-care is something

to do for them and for us today

setting boundaries on this day

****

Tears and laughter are important

for healing and with a bit of encouragement

it is good to do this everyday

Funny how I can turn them over on Monday

but not family and loved ones on Friday

and especially not on Saturday

****

Counseling is listening and learning to love!

Start with love, making the listening and learning fit like a glove

This is what I hoped to accomplish and more

Teaching skills, tools for the toolbox, can be a chore

and positive self-talk is important for all

when making discoveries, it can be a haul

****

Some have a set protocol

Awareness is a constant in therapy

some things take longer in psychotherapy

addiction counseling is what I did most

then I became the host

in family and couples therapy sessions

Most took about six sessions or interventions

****

I enjoyed what I did and now it is very parttime

It may be okay for me to bow out at this time

and just as important is to end this rhyme

I can go on and on and on another day

It is important for me to say, have a good Tuesday!
