Hi,

I had about six months of counselling last year. It helped a bit - I processed a lot of feelings around a traumatic event and can now reflect on it with a degree of peace. The counsellor was ok - she was a bit of a hippy and I sometimes felt she'd just latched on to this one issue. Neither of us live in our native country and even though that was quite a good icebreaker I felt she liked having someone to bounce her views off about the country we both now live in.

Anyway, I feel I need to go back into counselling as my anxiety is escalating again, but I can't help feeling I should seek out someone else. And I'm finding that really daunting. Would it be weird to go to a new counsellor? Would they expect me to go back over all the old ground from last year? There is so much going on in my head and I need help with that rather than going over stuff that I'm kinda okay with now.

Does anyone else find this hard? I keep putting off making a call or sending an email to a counsellor I'm interested in as it just seems so daunting.
