Rehabilitation counseling

Alright kiddo, let me explain what rehabilitation counseling is in a way you can understand. Do you know what it means to rehabilitate something or someone? It means to help them get better after something bad or tough happened to them.

So, rehabilitation counseling is when someone who has been hurt, either physically or mentally, gets help from a counselor to get better. Let's say someone hurt their leg really bad and can't walk the way they used to. A rehabilitation counselor will help that person learn how to walk again, but in a safe and healthy way. They might also help that person figure out how to do other things they used to do before they got hurt, like playing sports or going on walks.

Sometimes people get hurt in ways they can't see, like feeling really sad or scared. A rehabilitation counselor can also help with that! They'll talk to the person and make them feel comfortable so they can express their feelings. Then, they'll give them ideas on how to feel better and help them make a plan to get there.

Overall, rehabilitation counseling is when someone helps people get better after something tough happens to them, whether it's physical or emotional.
