Free advice about counseling and finding a good counselor

Good counseling usually involves one person sharing their life with someone who is a good listener and advisor. Good counselors are support to make good people feel better about themselves and their lives. A counselor will listen and communicate with their customer or friend (with out being condescending or coming across as arrogant). 
* Year 2007 updates:
Counseling is something most people seem to want. You don't always have to pay for it as long as you can find a good person to talk with. But I do believe that people should pay people that help them in any way they can if it's not money it should be in other ways. Professional Counselors usually have many rules that block the Human to Human connection necessary to Heal. Unless you meet a caring counselor willing to break some of the COLD rules ... you should find a good person to talk with and hopefully become friends with and solve problems together when possible.

I've noticed that some counselors can be shrinks (make you feel small) and others actually do help and make you feel better about yourself and can eventually help you heal yourself.

Looking for a counselor

When looking for a good counselor there are many ways of finding one. The most important part of finding a counselor is finding one who you "click with". You need to find someone who you feel at least a little compatible with. If your counselor doesn't gain your respect and trust within a few minutes, the likelihood that you would get along with them is very low.

The conventional way

Many people choose the conventional way, which means that the person giving the counseling has a college degree in some medical field. Theses professionals usually charge much more then other counselors who could actually be just as helpful. Or You can go the unconventional way which is either free or much cheaper.

The alternative or unconventional  ways

There are many unconventional ways to find free or inexpensive counseling that you can help you without leaving you feeling empty. I suggest that you should do research of different people, friends and trustworthy individuals who can give you cheap or good advice before looking for a expensive professional. You can also seek counseling through different resources just make sure that the it doesn't cost you an arm and a leg or abuse your wallet or economic situation. You should be considerate and pay the person back for their free advice even if it isn't money. They do deserve something for helping you.

Beware of those who tell you that it usually takes years of counseling  to help someone. The truth is that healing comes by choice and through wisdom and if you can find it in one day or in a few months that will be your experience.
