Since the qualification examination for psychological counselors was conducted in 2002, as of September 20 17, 130 people have obtained certificates. It is said that the pass rate of the exam is only over 20%, which also shows that the exam is not easy, and it can probably be calculated how many people took part in the study exam. Everyone is profit-seeking. People who take the exam can't say it's all about money, but most people have seen it. However, according to the survey results of relevant departments, only a few psychological counselors are engaged in this industry, about 3-4%, and many people do not. There may be two reasons: first, there is not so much demand, and second, they cannot solve the problem.
Let's look at the relevant statistics. In recent years, the state and relevant departments have attached great importance to residents' mental health education. It is estimated that there are more than 1 100 million mental patients in China, including anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, hypochondria, depression and schizophrenia. 300 million people have sleep disorders and 200 million students have different degrees of learning disabilities and psychological problems. Add up to 600 million people, accounting for half of the total population. These people need the help of psychological counselors, and taking medicine is a helpless move to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.
Are these counselors indifferent to the huge market demand just for fun? Obviously impossible. The most important thing is their poor ability to solve problems. After completing the certificate, many psychological counselors spend a lot of money and time to learn various techniques and attend classes and seminars, but their consulting level has not improved, and they have invested too much, which makes them feel hopeless.
However, there are also a few psychological counselors doing it. They are skilled and can solve the problems of tourists, and their popularity will grow. As long as they can solve the problem, the prospect of psychological counselors is bright.
