You did make it clear - and an axe wielding fight requires an issue. To say that it's not important skates over the underlying problem and focuses on the behaviour. In a family that does have issues, but which chooses to ignore them, sometimes the only way to communicate that there is a problem is to turn up the volume control of your actions and emotions, and this can lead to axe wielding fights every now and then.
Yes I understand that it would have been very disturbing and scary and worrying for all of you, but trying to understand why they happened, cooly and rationally, and unemotionally, is the first step to getting over what happened and to begin repairing the problems in your family.
Counselling is the process of coming to an understanding of yourself and those around you, in order to get a better perspective of episodes that have occured in your life without them being clouded by overtly negative emotions. It's not for 'crazy people' at all.
I'm sorry I didn't respond to this sooner (I looked up the thread from your new counselling post) but I do care and am interested in how this turns out.
