Nah, I've done marriage counseling before. It can help change perspective/mindset, but doesn't change reality. There are always choices, but sometimes the best choice is to just trudge on since all the choices come with a price.

Absolutely. Counseling services are very expensive. Changing my perspective/mindset to regulate my emotions is exactly what I used it for. I have been in those emotional moments but the reality needs me to move on quickly. So, I have to reach out to the counselors for a quick solution for the emotion, not changing the realities.

Pretty sure I'm over-regulated.

Haha ~~~ See, that is option 1, maybe one session is enough in some life situations.
