7. My bit of advice FWIW

whoever you wind up with: if you're not completely comfortable with that person as a counselor, don't feel that you need to stick with them. Find someone you are comfortable talking to and whose guidance you will respect. If you don't click with the first one, keep looking. You will do better investing the extra time in finding one you are compatible with.

Once that happens, the ability to talk to them and share what you have gone through will be much easier. Good luck to you.
