We generally choose to talk to a specialist when we are already on the edge, with no strength left, and no direction to follow. And what we actually look for then is a saving swim belt simply to hang on to and take us where that might be … as long as we are over with it … and, if possible, let nobody know we went to a specialist. What would people say? That we are weak, that we cannot handle it or even worse, we may be sick … We all need personal development, on one condition, to want that!

I am glad to see that, in Romania, people are more and more keen on personal development and that, step by step, the mentality so far, i.e. “I am self-sufficient, I am ok” turns into “Let’s see what else I could do for me and how I can improve what I already do”.
