Frequently Asked Questions and Some Answers from Seminarians

What is counseling and how can it help me? Counseling is a process that involves meeting with a supportive mental health
professional to discuss your personal issues and concerns. Through counseling you can learn to develop coping skills,
increase your self-esteem, learn stress management techniques and have a safe place to discuss issues related to your
emotions like anxiety and depression.

I am on an incredibly limited budget. Can I afford therapy? Many places offer psychotherapy on a sliding scale, meaning
that the price is adjusted to your income. Some providers offer prices as low as $10-25 a session. Other providers have
scholarships available for persons who are unable to pay for a period of time. And the Emory counseling center is free!

I’m not crazy; I just have a lot going on in my life. Everyone has problems. I don’t need therapy, do I? Persons go to
therapy for a variety of reasons, and many persons who go to therapy have no diagnosable mental disorder. Therapy can
help you deal with issues of self-esteem, sexual orientation, anger, stress, or problems in your marriage. Therapy can make
you more aware of your emotions and motivations, and has the potential to improve your interpersonal relationships,
professional and personal life. Therapy can also teach you ways of relating to persons in healthier ways as well as teaching
you coping techniques which are healthy and not destructive.

My partner and/or my friends listen to me -- and I talk to them all the time. A therapist won’t even know or understand
me. Why would a therapist be any better?
While friends and family provide excellent and essential outlets for stress and other problems, they are usually untrained in
methods of psychological care -- which, if the need for care is continuous, can lead to emotional damage to both you and
your loved ones.

Your therapist will be trained in psychology and will be schooled in methods and techniques developed from hundreds of
years of tradition and research. Your therapist will listen to you and pose questions back to you which are meant to help you
discover your inner feelings and motivations -- many of which you are not already aware. In addition, though your friends
and family love you and are willing to listen, it is not their job to exclusively offer care to you.

Frequently Asked Questions and Some Answers from Seminarians

I don’t want a therapist to tell me how to live my life. Will he or she tell me what to do?
It is not a therapist’s job to give you advice - generally speaking, it is her or his job to help
you discover your own solutions and to allow you to understand your own feelings more
effectively.

I’m nervous. What happens in a therapy session?
Generally speaking, you will enter into a lobby and be called back by your therapist. You’ll
enter a small room with a couch and/or chairs, and your therapist will invite you to sit and
talk about whatever is on your mind or bothering you at the time. You may be asked to fill
out a short questionnaire asking questions about how distracted, sad, or anxious you have
been lately. This will help your therapist in offering you care.

Do I have to lie on a couch?
No, but you can. Therapists usually encourage you to take whatever bodily position is most
comfortable for you -- sit down, lie down, take off your shoes, hug a pillow -- do whatever
makes you comfortable and willing to talk.

                                                                     The Office of Student Programming | Fall 2014

Candler Student Testimonials: How and Why Your Fellow
                       Students Went to Therapy or Counseling
“Having to take a medical leave of absence from school for the semester, and return only half-time second
semester, was difficult. Knowing I had friends who supported me - both in my leaving and in my returning - was
most important to me (and to my therapist). My advice is to create a small group of people to whom and for
whom you will be accountable. If they sense something is off, they can tell you; if you sense something is off, you
can tell them. If you cannot help yourself, they will help you get the assistance you need.” – Second Year, MTS

“I sought counseling my first year of seminary and then again this past summer. For me, counseling is just like
eating right or exercising. It won't ‘fix’ everything. But it can help prevent some damaging things from
happening. Seminary and ministry are hard. Being married I've learned quickly that we can't expect to dump
everything on our spouses, partners, family, or friends. We need them to support us without having to bear
everything with us. Counseling offers me an opportunity to have an objective 3rd party to vomit all of the
issues I'm thinking about to. I can yell, curse, laugh or do anything else without a fear of judgment or
damaging the listener. It's helped more than words can attempt to describe.” – Third Year, MDiv
