First, the major premise: the qualification certificate and legal compliance of the affiliated institution.
Although the examination and institutional background of psychological counselors may not reflect the consulting level, this social lever is the beginning of building trust without knowing them. Explain that this person is reliable, not a black household, and will not disappear into the vast sea in a few days.
Second, scan and collect consultant channels:
1 psychological counseling examination training institutions:
Many of these institutions rely on colleges and universities to connect with psychological counselors' associations and local influential consulting institutions, among which there are many high-quality consultants;
2 WeChat official account, official website and other online media:
There are a large number of big V brands and various styles of psychological counselors. You can learn about the industry, institutions and consultants by reading their articles.
3 recommended by friends and teachers:
If someone around you knows or has been consulted, it feels good, in fact, it is a good choice.
4 Universities and regular hospitals.
These teachers are directly searchable, and it is easy to get information quickly.
Third, how to understand:
1 eye distance.
Eyes are very important, not handsome, not beautiful, not choosing a concubine, but at least this person is within the optional range for you. The sensory judgment of the eye margin is not meaningless. We can choose a consultant who suits us from the bottom of our hearts, but there is a lot of information in our subconscious that I didn't realize. So, when you see this person and think he is a suitable consultant, you might as well pay more attention.
Collect more information about these consultants.
Including academic background, growth experience, work experience, etc. On the one hand, you can have a deep understanding of this counselor, on the other hand, you can have a more specific understanding of psychology and psychological counseling.
3 Study its articles, audio, video, etc.
This step is very important. Now many consultants have their own WeChat, official WeChat accounts and even micro-courses. You can have a comprehensive understanding of these ways.
4 meet a real person.
Participate in offline activities, psychological groups, speeches, etc. Organized by the organization, face-to-face interaction, more conversations with consultants, expressing their willingness to learn and consult, and even establishing uninterrupted contact to see if ta is suitable for them.
5. Price, place, time and method of consultation.
Psychological counseling is likely to be more than once, or it may be long-term. Price is a very important choice. Choose according to the range you can bear. At the same time, it is also very important to decide whether the consultation place is convenient, whether the consultant and you have agreed on a good time, and whether to choose online consultation, telephone consultation or face-to-face consultation. These all need your own confirmation and consideration.
Finally, send a small egg:
1 A counselor is a person, not a god. No magic doctor can cure all diseases at once.
Matching is relative, there is no absolute matching and mismatch.
Keep an open mind, don't classify your own problems, find the right place and find a consultant who suits you.
The scenery along the way may be the best arrangement ~
