Counseling Sessions



Counseling sessions (individual and small group) has become Sue’s major task here. As soon as we arrived, after the administration learned Sue has a degree in counseling (I can vouch for that. She has given me the “3rd Degree for many years!!!!!) they leapt out of their seats and asked her to set up counseling and they had a long list of students for her to see.
It appears many of these girls suffered incredible traumatic events when they were younger and they have never debriefed or talked about them or their pent up feelings surrounding the events.  The administration became aware of the problem when the girls had all these unexplained or unexplored “night traumas.” 
Sue started out with small group sessions and once the girls saw they could trust her, there is a “pick a number and stand in line” crowd wanting to talk to her.
