I would like to go to the school counsellor about irrational fears, but I am scared to...
My sister says I have irrational fears. (4 phobias, and 13 fears) I would like to go to the school counsellor about them but I (unfortunately) am too scared. Like, I don't want to waste her time or interrupt her. What do counsellors talk to you about? What do they do to help you? Does anyone have answers to these questions? All advice appreciated. :)

Dont be too scared..talk to counsellors about your problem and she will try to give you some advice that can help you..dont worry about wasting the counsellors time,the counsellors job is to help people and hear their problem and give they advice that can help them through their problem..

Honey, counselors are here to help you... and they don't care if you interrupt them because they WANT TO FIX YOUR OR YOUR SISTERS PROBLEMS! BUT i think that you should take your sister with you so you have proof and evidence and so the counselor can actually talk to her then you cause your not the one with the problem.
Sincerely;
Nobody :)

I went to my school counselor a few times. Then during my senior year in high school I worked in there.
You won't be wasting her time. They work there for the specific reason to help students. They really do care.
You can just go in and say you're having some problems and need someone to talk to about them. She'll be happy to help you and have you sit down and you can tell her what's going on.
She'll most likely give you suggestions on how to deal with the phobias and fears. It really depends on the fears and phobias. If they are interrupting every day activities and making it hard to live your life normally, then she'll help you find someone who specializes in that area.

I went to a counselor once but it wasnt because of fears, mine was emotional distress due to stress, burning the candle at both ends. Really, all they do is talk to you. They ask questions about you and what you are experiencing, it took many visits for her to get to know me well enough to be able to start making suggestions. It helped having someone to talk to. It is important to have a counselor who personality wise and their style of talk and conversationalizing is same as yours.
One thing to know is that all our emotions and feelings originate from our subconscious mind.
I will say that some fears can come from things that happened in your lifetime so far.
Not every counselor will agree with the next, but it is my belief that reincarnation and having past lives is real. If so, our soul may somehow have memories from a past life of scary experiences that it carries with it to a new life. In that new body, a souls memory is transferred to the subconscious mind, not as a memory but as the feelings behind the memory.
For example, I've read of hypnotists working with people who have fears who under hypnotherapy go back in their minds to a past life and witness the event that gave them a particular fear, such as a fear of water was a female who died in a drowning in a past life.
Counseling is a more long term solution to helping you get over phobias and fears. Although you will need more than one or two sessions with a hypnotist, this method seems to get right to the issues faster by dealing directly with the subconscious mind where these fears/phobias come from in the first place.
As a kid, your parents will likely take you to whoever their insurance covers. Once you reach legal age and can make decisions for yourself and if the years of counseling have not helped...earn your own money, find a different counselor or try a hypnotist that specializes in working with patients who have fears.
