<h2>Change your life </h2>

Change  your life  How possible 


1.  lose weight
2.  get my career into high gear
3.  face my fears
4.  increase my self-esteem
5.  improve my love-life

These are some of the difficult issues that people usually face. Whether your list matches the one above or not, it may be as challenging.  For many people change is too challenging and too difficult. Therefore, they keep recycling their list of desired changes from one year to the next.

How does a person change their life when will-power doesn't work? When will-power fails, where do you turn? People often turn to professionals to help facilitate the changes they desire. Licensed Professional Counselors, Psychologists and Clinical Social Workers specialize in guiding people through the process of change. They help people mobilize their own inner resources toward their desired outcomes.

But, before you take your list of  frustrations to a therapist there are two key points you may want to consider. First, not all therapeutic approaches are equal and second the way a person approaches their counseling can determine a lot about how successful they will be.

Over the years many counseling methods have been developed to help people who seek a change in their life. Some therapies only pay attention to behavior, others to thinking or to discharging feelings. Some approaches are long on listening without giving feedback while others seek to analyze and explain every aspect of one's life. Now more research is being done to determine what is and is not effective in helping people create positive change in their lives. New therapeutic methods are being examined and proving more effective than anything before. Two of the most effective approaches include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing  (EMDR) and Experiential FOCUSING.
