I've struggled on and off with depression, sometimes severe, for years. I tend to enjoy counseling, but after several experiences with counselors, I saw one person who helped me immensely in a very short period of time. This helped me to realize some bad things that past counselors had been doing, that I think actually hindered my recovery from depression.

Here I talk about how counseling can sometimes do harm, and I explore how people can seek out counselors most likely to help them, and protect themselves from some of the ways in which counselors can potentially harm someone.
