Coping with Anxiety: I would have to believe education about anxiety could always help people. However, I would not suggest becoming a counselor is a good way to address one's own anxiety issues. It is important to understand that to help others one must not let their own issues get in the way. If you are entering the counseling field, I would recommend being in counseling to work through your own difficulties.
