“I think it’s better to realize something isn’t working and try and fix it then to continue the cycle of chaos and unhappiness.”

You know, supposedly the definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.” So possibly, it's more crazy to keep doing what's not working than to get a fresh set of eyes and ears on the problem, yes?

It's refreshing. I think it's great that you're taking care of 'your closet' and that you're willing to talk about it. If more people talked about it, the stigma would go away. Keep it up, Kat! You rock! P.S. I bet your HR Manager thinks you're great! :-) Kat – let me just say that I love your openness and honesty. It’s refreshing.

Heck, call them a professional (psyche) organizer if you want. Call a “personal coach” if that’s what you’re comfortable with." I like that. I think it's closer to the truth anyway. We always assume that seeking counseling means something is wrong with us. I think it's better to realize something isn't working and try and fix it then to continue the cycle of chaos and unhappiness. Sometimes we just need someone to be honest with us. Just like in business, sometimes we can't see the path that will help us reach our goals. I don't know why we're all afraid to be real human beings. I think you're brave. I'm sure everyone who reads this will think so too. “Don’t think of them as a therapist or a counselor, if you have an icky association with those words.
