I’ve recently decided that I want to take Counseling and Human Services as my major in college. I’m very interested in all it has to offer and what it deals with. However, I was wondering if anyone has more in depth info about this specific major, like what it was like taking it and how difficult it was? How many years of schooling would be best for this career? Thanks!

Or should I major in counseling or psychology, and minor in music? I want to be a counselor and music therapist with my own private practice. It this possible?

This isn’t particular usual of me, however I require some formidable form of counseling or advice. My girlfriend and I have broken up on mutual terms- or rather, her decision was made and I omitted the fatal decision. Apparently she "fell out of love", and was uncertain of her feelings in regards to me. We had been together for ten months, and had broken up six months prior, however returned the day subsequent. This was my first relationship, and thus I am not particularly surprised at the outcome. However, she contacted me the day subsequent our breakup, as she was immeasurably emotional and wanted to "inform me" of her feelings. I had perceived a partial chance- a third chance- however, was frightened of acting upon it in precaution of a third breakup. However, she later rectified that this was impossible, and unfortunately, it phased me. She’s present in two of my classes in Senior High School- and is within my Peer Tutoring and Peer Support group (I will not elaborate- it is simple enough to derive from the name). What advice can be provided? How to I endure her presence in my classes, and her relationships with my friends? How do I move on? I’m finding it increasingly difficult, and have no avenues to turn to… How do I "get over" this girl who I loved immeasurably, and experienced infinite "firsts" with her. She has experienced relationships prior to this, if that helps in relation to advice…
I know this is typical, and mundane, however no other avenues of advice present themselves… I want diverse advice, not solitude, etc., and hence I inquired here.
My logic transcended into transparency when I become infatuated with her… Thank you for your responses. I’m not of adequate level to rate, etc, however if possible you would receive an astronomical volume of praise

I have never known anyone that has gone to counseling that has stayed together. I’ve gone a few times in different relationships, and it seemed like the counselor or the counseling pushed us apart.

Now I’m in a marriage that is having problems…we went to counseling before and it failed miserably. The fact that we were going itself caused strain on the relationship. Needless to say that it didn’t work. Now my wife and I are considering it again, but I’m not sure if it is even worth it.

I have been to individual counseling off and on for years. It has worked for me; however I have not seen couples counseling work.

My Fiancee is cool- but she annoys me a lot-

for example, right now, she is threatening to dunk me into a vat of mayonnaise. I have a severe mayonnaise phobia. LOL.

Okay, please understand, my Fiancee makes me laugh many times by making fun of my OCD- but she is a very sweet girl, and is compassionate and supportive of me, especially regarding my mental illness.

In any event, she wants to get married immediately. I don’t.

We have a lot of issues with trust, money, finances, etc. I know that she and I need counseling, which, by the way, we are starting next week with a Christian counselor for couples.

I told my Fiancee that we have to get counseling FIRST before getting married. She disagrees, and says that it won’t make any difference if we go ahead and get married THEN get counseling. I believe it would behoove us to get counseling first.

Would things be more complicated if we get married first, before having gotten counseling? Why or why not?

I have severe depression, really bad mood swings, i am also a self mutilator, and very self distractive, i am ready to help myself and try counseling or therapy but i have no medical insurance i know i need help asap because i am having severe suicidal thoughts and dreams… Please some1 help..

How much is it to for counseling or therapy on a relationship or improving my moods?

My sister is going to counseling with the man she had a 11/2 year affair with. They are business partners. He says it is to help her get over him, but I think she has different hopes. Any thoughts on some helpful advice I can give her? I dont want her to get hurt again….

The intimacy level in my marriage has dipped to about 4 times a year and upon confronting my wife (many times resulting in many long conversations — 1 sided), she does not want to talk about it. I think we need counseling, but I don’t think she wants to fix this problem. She seems happy to ignore it.

People always take to offense when a person tells them to go to counseling….. What are your imputs? Would you get offended?
