I've had some issues and incidents lately and got referred back to my counselor. I went the other day, and it didn't accomplish much. Basically we came up with the fact I'm stressed mainly because college and my future career, and that I need to get more sleep and drink more water. I didn't need to go to a counselor to hear that. I have a difficult time talking with her. She's nice, but that might be the problem. She almost talks to me like I'm a scared, small child; purposely talking in a soft voice. I've never been to a different counselor, but when I've been at home or whatever and something's been bothering me, my parents or friends would just come out and ask what's wrong. They wouldn't try to figure it out, they'd just ask and be direct. They're strict and to the point when they ask. It's not necessarily a bad thing, they're concerned. It's basically the opposite from my counselor and I'm having a difficult time opening up to that type of counseling. What advice do you have? I really don't have another reason to not see her other than the fact she's abit too friendly but yet with this way I don't accomplish anything. She makes me feel like I'm back in elementary school by the way she talks to me. I have a difficult enough time talking about my "feelings." When someone talks to me in such a manner it makes me shut them out even more.

I'd tell her exactly what you just told us. If she doesn't immediately change her approach then you NEED to look elsewhere.

in all honesty, it's what counselors are supposed to do, they're supposed to be nice and understanding because it's a great approach to getting people to talk about themselves and open up to their problems

Change counselors and explain to the one you currently have, why. It won't offend them as it's more common than you think to do. Mine told me even before we started regular sessions that I am free to request a different counselor if I don't think we fit together.
