I personally took myself to counseling when I realised I have a mental block towards dating... I was quite comfortable with being single.. I had experienced too much heart break and I just honestly was afraid of being heart broken gape simply because I love deep.. luckily I did

this and I was able to settle my thoughts.. almost a month after stopping sessions I met my girlfriend and I was comfortable with the thought of dating again.. and had I not gone to counseling I doubt I would've been able to get into a relationship... now me and her about to do a

a year together.. But I think the greatest thing that came out of counseling is that I don't fear heartbreak anymore, I've accepted its a part of the life process...and I don't live in fear of the shadow of heartbreak
