If at first you dont succeed....
My experience with Rula didn’t start out as positively as I had hoped. The first counselor I was matched with just wasn’t a good fit for me, and that made the beginning of the process frustrating and a little discouraging. When you’re reaching out for counseling, finding someone you feel comfortable with and can genuinely connect with makes such a difference. I decided to give it another chance, and I’m very glad I did. I was eventually matched with a counselor who is a much better fit for me, and my experience has completely changed. I feel comfortable talking with her, I feel heard and understood, and I genuinely enjoy working with her. I appreciate that Rula gave me the ability to keep looking until I found the right person rather than feeling like I had to stay with someone who wasn’t a good match. So while my experience didn’t have the best beginning, I’m very happy with where I ended up. Sometimes finding the right counselor takes more than one try, and I’m glad I didn’t let that first experience keep me from continuing.
