Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Society in general:

    Counseling is pseudoscience.

  • How I responded:

    True, there is as much art as there is science to counseling. That's what I love about it. For those detractors, I rebut their view by working hard and involving myself in the society of counselors to improve our art form. I work hard to be better and to help more people.
