We’re excited to share the latest edition of the Peace of Mind Counseling & Consulting (POMCC) blog!
Our goal with this space is simple: to provide helpful insights into mental health topics, share the value of therapy, and show how our practice stays informed by the latest research, clinical expertise, and the evolving needs of our community here in Freehold, NJ.
We also want this blog to reflect the questions and interests you care about—so let us know what you’d like us to explore next!
Thinking About Starting Therapy?
It’s normal to feel unsure or hesitant before starting therapy. Many people ask themselves:
- “How long will this take?”
- “How do I know if this will work?”
- “I’ve tried therapy before—what if it doesn’t help again?”
- “Does asking for help make me weak?”
- “What if no one truly understands what I’m going through?”
- “Will therapy change who I am?”
- “What if I’m not good at talking about my feelings?”
- “Can therapy even fit into my busy schedule?”
If you’ve asked yourself questions like these—you’re not alone.
These doubts are common. In fact, they’re often the very reason people should consider therapy. Many of us come to therapy carrying the weight of past disappointment, betrayal, loss, or failure. These experiences naturally lead to fear, distrust, or uncertainty—but they also provide the raw material for meaningful change.
What If Doubt Is Part of the Process?
Surprisingly, it’s okay—even expected—to come to therapy feeling doubtful or guarded. Many therapists believe that real healing starts when clients bring their true feelings of uncertainty into the room. Therapy isn’t about instant answers; it’s about building trust, exploring your unique story, and creating a space for transformation.
