What should you do when you have a fear of leaving the house?

You have gotten ready for work, fed the dog, turned off the stove, turned off the lights, locked the doors and locked your garage. You even double checked that you did everything before finally going to work that morning. Now, you are sitting at your desk at work in a calm environment, but you can’t focus on your work. You are feeling a little worried, perhaps even perspiring a little, chewing on your pen and constantly looking at the clock wondering if you should risk a brief trip back home. What is your worry? Maybe you forgot to turn off your stove, or the lights in the living room are still on. You are also fairly certain that you forgot to feed that cute, adorable little puppy of yours. Now you are sure, you didn’t feed the dog and you left everything on. Pictures of your house on fire with your dog trapped inside start to flood your mind. Your heart races and you can’t take it anymore; you run out of the office yelling that you have an errand to run and head home as fast as you can. You get home and are relieved to see that the stove was off, as were the lights and Rover is wagging his tail after filling his belly with the food you put out for him.

There are many people out there who double check everything they do before they leave the house to try and settle their minds. Yet, even though they go through the same routine each morning to ensure that their house and/or pets are safe and secure, the safety of their home is a constant concern and distraction throughout the day. They constantly worry that their house might burn down, that their house might flood, or they will have forgotten to feed or give water to their pet. People who have these constant worries and don’t get help can lead a very worrisome life. No one should have to worry about their home and pets every day they go to work. It can be incredibly nerve racking and very damaging to pens and fingernails. The truth about suffering this kind of anxiety non-stop is that it can take its toll on the body and mind. A person could start suffering stomach aches, head aches, start to suffer heart problems and even become depressed. The constant worry can get in the way of work and social life.

Anyone realizing they might have a problem with this type of anxiety could consult an online therapist to try and get rid of the constant worry. The online therapist can work with the patient to get away from their constant worry and anxiety about the safety of their home. They can help the patient have more trust in their self. The therapist will work with the patient to calm them and help the patient be more confident that they turned everything off, fed their dog and locked the doors, so that the patient can live their life, focus on their work and have a social life.

How do you get free online counseling for your family?

When most think about counseling, they immediately think of how much counseling can cost. For some, the thought of how much a counseling session will cost is simply an excuse, but for others it is a matter that is actually getting in the way of getting the help they need. There are many reasons for getting counseling, including issues that have to do with mental health, family issues, and issues at work and so on. Thanks to online counseling, the barrier between the financially strapped and the help they need is slowly disappearing as more qualified counselors are offering some of their services online for free. In today’s world, this is a blessing for many families because they have many issues that they need to work out in order to make their family unit stronger; online family counseling can help them make this happen.

Exactly what a family may have issues with will depend on their circumstances, the age of their children, the independent lives of each spouse involved in the relationship, to name a few. Many families will not get the help that they need, for whatever reasons including embarrassment, the belief that counseling will not help the situation and so on; however, families who do go into counseling with the goal of improving the relationships within the family will often come out stronger as a result. This is because they have gone through the steps with the family counselor in order to make the changes they need so that everyone within the family are happier. Depending on the issue(s), it could be many months of counseling, or it could only be a few weeks; whether or not a family responds positively to the counseling will depend on how serious the members in the family are in correcting whatever it is that is causing the issue(s).

Many families in the past have broken up because they never really thought to give family counseling a chance. It could have been that they didn’t feel it would help, that their issues were unique and not fixable, and it could even have been that they didn’t have the money; today there is a more convenient way for families to get some of the help they need. Online family counseling is becoming more popular all the time as a way for families to sort out their problems, regardless of what they are. Free online family counseling is available in many forms, including forums, chat rooms, instant messaging and so on; many of these are free so that families who are tight financially are able to get the help that they need. There are a number of online family counselors who are aware that not everyone can afford their fees, so they have offered these options to families who are looking for help who would otherwise have to forgo the counseling they need. All a family has to do is go online and do a quick search for a website where an online counselor will offer some of their services for free. More and more families are taking advantage of this all the time and are getting the help they need.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



With the internet becoming the main access point for many people to find answers to their questions, free online therapy, and now, personal assessments are becoming available online. For anyone interested in going through online therapy, they should first complete an online assessment in order to determine what the online therapist or counselor will need to focus on. This way, the online therapist will have an idea of how they can go about helping the person who is asking for help. It doesn’t matter what a person needs help with, whether it is that they believe they are suffering from depression or having marital problems, online therapists are there to help anyone who asks for it.

To accompany the free online therapy that is now being offered at http://www.completecounselingsolutions.com/, free personal assessments are now being offered as well. With so many people needing help, it is hoped that the free online therapy now being offered with the personal assessments will give more people the opportunity to get the help that they need. Getting to everyone can be difficult to do and these options being made available online are meant to alleviate the problem by saving time. It also gives individuals, who are normally uncomfortable speaking with a therapist or counselor in person, the chance to speak to someone online. Not only that, but it is a more convenient option for both the counselors and those who are looking for counseling. It is hoped that with the chance of getting the help, advice and suggestions without the long waiting time, more people will take advantage of what is being offered.

Why are free personal assessments being offered online? Free personal assessments are what the online therapists can use to further understand what kind of help a person may need. By filling out a personal assessment, an individual is describing to the online therapist what issues they may need help with. All one has to do is visit the website at http://www.completecounselingsolutions.com/ and then click on the tab that reads, "assessments." After being forwarded to the Therapist Guided Personal Assessments page, one will have to choose which personal assessment generally deals with what they are looking for help with. There is even the option being offered at the top of this page to anyone who has a suggestion about a new personal assessment that is not already being offered online. This feature is available to anyone who has access to the internet at any time. It could be from the home, from work, school or even a cyber café. All one has to do is go online and take an assessment. If one decides, after completing a personal assessment, that they would like to participate in the free online therapy, all they have to do is register and then start participating in the forum after they have been confirmed.

For more information or to make an appointment, one can phone toll free at 1-866-900-0316, e-mail info@completecounselingsolutions.com or fill out the "Contact Us Form".
