Healing process
The counseling center has taught me the basic elements that I needed to draw and design the sketches of my life. I was confronted by my counselor with the reasons behind my lack of confidence and he has provided me with countless explanations why I always longed for perfection and others' acceptance.
I am also learning through the counseling center how to take lead of my life and not to let others control me by their judgments. More importantly, I am trying to dissociate my academic grades from who I am. For instance, I always saw myself as a smart person when I got an A but a stupid one pretty much all the time.
I was instructed to make a priority list with health being the most important element. And that internal happiness is always in my control. Our perception and interpretation of various situations will determine our level of happiness.
Note, I don’t promise that one will find the solution to all his/her concerns but I can guarantee (with the guidance of Allah) that seeking an expert's advice will show him/her a way to handle problems.
To achieve great results in the counseling center, one has to admit that there is a problem. Secondly, the promise of commitment, it takes tremendous amount of effort to work on healing some damaged scars and to build a new environment where one can nourish his/her potentials. Thirdly, one should try to possess the strength to accept changes, criticism and most importantly to put faith in the program. Finally, it is important to realize the importance of building a support system; be it a book, friend, professor or parents.
I am a senior student now and it has been a year since I am seeking a counselor's guidance and will always be in search of support when it is required. I still face minor anxiety attacks and reoccurring decline in self confidence but I still have the foundations to help me rise again. I am no longer ashamed or scared of the factors that have lead to the aforementioned situation because I know that I have unconsciously allowed these conditions to affect me. Now that I am conscious and aware, I am proud to say that I am doing something about it.
