NaBloPoMo Day #30.... The Session

Today is the last day of November. It is also the last day of National Blog Post Month. I actually have something to blog about today. I am going to pull the curtain aside and let you see the wizard. Well, sort of. I am going to talk about something I wasn't going to - counseling. My doctor has been urging me to do it, but the whole idea scares the daylights out of me, but I finally took the step and called the number she gave me. The clinic I go to goes on a sliding scale fee - the less money you make, the less your visits are. She said the counseling center also does that. My doctor's visits cost me $20, so I figured the counseling would charge the same. I was wrong.......

I will pay nothing. 0, zoink, nada. I was - and am - surprised. I didn't know I was THAT poor.

The counseling center is cool - looks like a house. The waiting room has sofas instead of hard chairs. Very nice and comfortable.

The counselor: he is a guy in I'd say his early to mid-forties. I was really nervous at first, but soon felt comfortable with him. He got a lot of information out of me. And no, I didn't lie on a couch, but sat in a chair.

All in all, I feel it went well, and think this will be beneficial to me. I have a lot of issues, and hoping counseling will help. It is something I should have done years ago. Prayers are appreciated, thanks,.
