My name is Danielle and I am 25 years old. I have graduated from college with a BA in psychology and am currently in graduate school for my Masters in mental health counseling. Overall,
I am extremely down to earth and I love to have a good time enjoying the positive things in life.
My approach to responding to peoples questions is to help them see something their overlooking. In order to do so I might ask them questions that they would have to be truthful answering. Most people deep down know the right thing to do or say but their scared to be honest with themselves because fear or letting go of someone or realizing something isnt right can be scary. If we are truthful with ourselves then a positive change can occur.
I believe that communication is extremely important. That is why many of my responses suggest people to talk with the person or persons their having issues with. If you speak about your problems then you can have a more indepth sense of what the other person is feeling. I always suggest that communication comes first before any action is taken.
Overall, I feel this site is wonderful because people can get different aspects of their situation.
Feel free to contact me anytime =)just bare with me because sometimes it takes a little while for me to respond due to school work |
