Check out tips "From The Couch"
 
People generally seek therapy for personal problems when they recognize those feelings and symptoms are interferring with their lives.  Individuals who are not experiencing problems also benefit from therapy.  Just as companies hire expert consultants who provide skilled guidance toward changes that will benefit the company, some individuals seek counseling to develop themselves and improve their skills.  Research shows that therapy provides enhanced awareness and performance in all aspects of life.  By improving intrapersonal and interpersonal skills in communication, leadership, motivation, self determination, assertiveness, transitions, and awareness people report more satisfaction with the self, life, family and work performance.  Additionally, it has been shown that there are fewer doctor visits and hospitalizations for those individuals who have been involved in therapy.
