Comments on: Why Outsourcing your Problem Solving can be the best way Forward http://www.gorgeousthings.com.au/blog/outsourcing-problem-solving/ Making it easy for women to look fabulous and feel great naturally Wed, 19 Oct 2011 11:12:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: admin http://www.gorgeousthings.com.au/blog/outsourcing-problem-solving/comment-page-1/#comment-428 admin Wed, 06 Jan 2010 21:35:00 +0000 http://www.gorgeousthings.com.au/blog/but-surely-theres-something-wrong-with-me/#comment-428 A friend recently confided in me about a hugely significant problem in his life and I made the suggestion that he might like to speak to his doctor and ask for a referral to a Counsellor or the like as he couldn't afford to see one under his own steam at the time. Do you know what his GP said to him..."tough it out for a few weeks and see how you go"...seriously! This guy is facing his life crumbling before him and his doctor tells him to tough it out...luckily another friend came to the resuce and insisted on paying for him to see a Counsellor, and after 3 months...he's doing really well. Seems there still that attitude held by some that it's maybe a sign of weakness to ask for help.

Been there, done that. And yes, it helped, and yes, there's NO shame in seeing someone to talk your problems through to. Good on your for sharing. I’m putting my hand up, too. Been there, done that.
