Many of our problems arise just because we
are human.
We all make mistakes and have to learn from them, and it is normal to need
several goes before we get something right.
Needing help is a normal part of this process.
You could only label it as failure if you had already decided you must
succeed entirely on our own - which is not a burden you have to impose on
yourself.
If you think you've failed, the counsellor might help you see that this is
not all there is to it.
