Skill 31
Seek professional counseling
Our final skill may be the most important. We must find the strength to face the facts if anger has become a significant obstacle in our lives. There are times in every person's life, regardless of their background, when professional assistance is needed. We talked earlier about informal support. Caring friends (even those who are strangers) can only do so much. Professional help may be needed.

To get this help, we have to realize that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. The easy thing to do is nothing. To find a counselor or therapist, set up an appointment, and meet with him or her all take a certain amount of courage and determination.

I would like to suggest someone who is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Look for the letters "LMFT" after their names. In any case, you should choose someone you like. You do not have to continue to see someone after the first introductory session.
