When I was preparing my talk for the conference (through textbooks and notes, recalled the case studies, consulted with colleagues), I came up with the idea: let me search the Internet for lectures on a similar topic. I'm sure someone will find something useful
Began to look and was horrified. What in my profession is full of quacks — of course, not news. But now there are so many that find NOT a charlatan seems to be something impossible. And in the minds of customers, of course, a complete mess: go figure all these guys. Would not work with a psychologist, just ran on someone... for example, this:
"I worked 20 years in sales, so I know how people now all of you about it will tell. Only 50,000" or "I was a housewife, and then suddenly I fell on the head of the ancient secret knowledge"
"a Psychologist, an astrologer, a numerologist"
yeah, but still will remove the damage, evil eye, banish the Devil from your chandelier, Sorry, could not resist
- "Professional coach, trainer, author of unique techniques" and so on. br>
the ads you write anything. Will select the nice words, will come up to sell a story about me, which will be close and understandable to everyone. br>
And here is how it really is. No porridge in the head. br>
the Psychologist must study a minimum of 4 years + 400 hours to undergo their own psychotherapy. For if you want to get into someone else's head, be kind first deal with themselves.
Clinical psychologist (I) studies 6 years + we have the same 400 hours. Why 6? Yes, because just the psychologist can only work with normal mentality, and clinical and regulation, with different and not very good conditions (depression, panic attacks, etc.). And in all this beauty deal, you need to study longer.
the Therapist — 6 years in honey + a few years on specializations + 400 hours. Because it is not only the word cure, but pills. br>
And all of these occupations have one important caveat. Types of psychological assistance to more than 1500, and to some of them to master, need him to learn. That's why I have 22 degree, not one. br>
But to keep training... don't need to study at all! That is how the law works, unfortunately. So yesterday's electricians and served the crooks (Yes, a couple of well-known coaches such experience had in the past) suddenly become "masters of relationships". br>
Who is the coach? This is the man who took the courses. From one month to 1 year (at best 2) he learned to solve other people's problems and ask the right questions to the client in their difficulties sorted out. This is not enough to understand how the mind (the same brain, you know. Over how it works and how to actually beat the greatest minds in the world. So for a couple of years in him certainly not to understand). But you, please, to kochah cross is not the place: there are situations when you do not seriously need to go into the psyche, and everything can be solved "light artillery". Have a coach she is. However, I doubt that the depth of knowledge each such expert enough to distinguish one from the other. But here, probably, as lucky. I have met coaches who are really good, though, and don't have the fundamental education. And met those who... well, better if they are home baked pies. Less damage someone else's psyche will cause. br>
All these numerology, astrology and other superstition, of course, no relation to professional psychology have not. And to any other science, too. You are never embarrassed by that in any serious University in the world there is NO faculty of astrology or numerology?)
And by the way, tried many times to experiment in order to prove that it works. But never confirmed.
While believing, of course, nobody forbids. The placebo effect has not been canceled: who believes that helps. That is why many "true": because this knowledge instilled in people. But not suggestible as it is not working. So if you know that you find this story useful, then be sure to believe. But only good:)
This is what I? To what do not allow, please non-specialists to go to you. Maybe they are good people. Maybe their personal life experience will be valuable and useful. But it was HIS experience that helped HIM in HIS situation. You — a different person. And then, as happens in reality, know only the well-trained professionals. So if you want real help, then be gentle on yourself and seek professional advice.
