In Russia, unlike Western countries, appeal to the psychologist is still not so popular and popular. Although in large cities this is easier than somewhere in the Russian hinterland.
nevertheless, despite the increasing demand, the profession of a psychologist and to this day gives rise to various myths and raises many questions.
In this post, I will try to consider those that, in my opinion, are the most common.
No. 1
Psychologist needs a single glance to determine the customer's problem, and in one session to solve it.
first, you should understand that the psychologist is not psychic and not a wizard. Therefore, without the prior, albeit short conversation, he will not be able to determine exactly what and how you life is. And sometimes requires more than just conversation, and extensive diagnostics with a number of methods and tests.
as for the resolution time, the time depends on a number of factors. And not the least in this series is the very content of the problem.
of Course, if a client came to us with very specific and small question, after one meeting he might get the answer. For example, if you want to make a choice between N-number of variants. Together with a specialist client examines each of them and then makes a decision. And – himself. The tasks of the psychologist is not part of the decision instead of the customer. He only shows the possible ways of development of events.
If the problem is hidden at a different level (approx. I have previously described every one of them symptomatic, conflict, structural), then, of course, one meeting is not limited. The duration of therapy in this case will depend on the level at which was stationed the problem, and the method that employs the specialist.
So, the method of positive psychotherapy, being a short term, involves much shorter than, for example, psychoanalysis. The way customers should be taken into account at the stage of choice of a specialist.
No. 2
the Psychologist takes the money "talk".
to Meet "just to chat" is possible and with a friend over a Cup of coffee. The psychologist, in turn, listens to the client, passes the information through yourself and your professional filters, analyzes, heard, helps the client not just to get immediate temporary relief, but to understand where the "grow legs", how to handle it, how to prevent a repeat of the situation... ie, a psychologist, based on his professional experience, helps to find solutions to problems, etc.
And while he remains in his professional position, merging with the situation, and therefore having the ability to look at things more objectively than the aforementioned friend.
No. 3
why consultation is not free?
Because the psychologist is as much a profession as any other. And the same work, which must be paid.
to reach their professional skills, the psychologist who received specialized higher education, probably after he finished the training courses or majored in any of therapeutic modalities (and even not one). Plus – they regularly attend training, seminars and courses that enable to progress in the profession and to acquire new knowledge and skills. As well as regular supervision and mandatory personal therapy, without which the psychologist is at risk to provide services of inadequate quality. br>
all these measures require major financial investments. As the hire office. You wouldn't go to a specialist who is receiving somewhere in the Park on the bench?! That's what it is.
No. 4
the psychologist in life everything is perfect and there is no problem. But if there is, it is not a psychologist.
I Hasten to disappoint you! Psychologists are people just like everyone else.
With this logic, we have the doctor should not get sick. And the electrical light bulbs do not have the right to burn =))
the Psychologist, like other people, may well experience the same emotions (including negative), it may behind be, for example, a divorce, or something that is taken a priori to be considered "no-no". And it is quite normal! br>
the Main difference between psychologist that he is aware of their problems and their origins, and knows how to "handle". He is able to manage their emotional States and to control them. And many things which he can also teach and their clients. br>
somewhere I read the statement "I am a psychologist only at work but at home I am a mother, wife and just person." Are unable to disagree :)
In my opinion, these four points are the most common.
If colleagues can give more examples, you can do this in the comments of the post.
