How to board the counselor's boat?

In a blink of an eye, contact psychology has been 7 years. From initial ignorance to today's half-knowledge, when I entered the waiting door, it was really as deep as the sea. The sea of psychology is boundless, and psychological counseling is more like rivers and lakes in the sea. Different sects have their own unique skills, which require lifelong practice. Becoming a psychological counselor is undoubtedly an extremely long process. How do scholars become Wulin people? How can we successfully board this ship full of psychological counselors? Just like martial arts needs to learn from teachers, martial arts has entry moves, lightness skill, internal skill and unique skills, so does becoming a psychological counselor.

1, worship the pier, affiliated institutions, and learn from teachers.

? If you know nothing about psychology and psychological counseling, it is very important to enter this industry and choose a reliable institution. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Choosing an institution with high-quality consultant resources can solve many entry problems. From obtaining the qualification certificate of psychological counseling to attending the systematic introductory course of psychological counseling, I have a preliminary understanding of different factions of psychological counseling. The most important thing is to accept cases through institutions and realize the transformation from theory to practice. Through the initial low-cost cases, the perceptual knowledge of psychological counseling is established, and through participating in systematic group supervision, peer supervision, book club, salon and other activities, immersive learning is formed and grown in the tempering of time. Choose an institution with a consultant training program to study, find like-minded allies, grow and progress together, enjoy resources, share experiences and feelings, and get twice the result with half the effort. In a word, a good dock is the first step on this long road.

2, basic skills-choose a master, find a supervisor, do experience, practice skills.

After joining, the next step is to learn from the teacher. Psychological counseling is characterized by privacy and experience, and the learning process is also based on hands-on counseling. The study of theory is the foundation, but how to understand the visitors with theory and understand the negative emotions brought by them is more important. In the process of selecting teachers, different teachers can be selected to supervise different cases. Because consultation is based on consultants, different supervisors naturally adapt to different cases. If you feel different from a supervisor's view of a case, you should seek the opinions of different teachers and explore your own ideas.

? In the supervision, if possible, work hard on the word-for-word draft, train emotions and deepen skills, and get feedback from the master.

? In this process, I went to a psychological counselor for psychological consultation and experienced the feeling of being a visitor. It can help us understand the feelings that visitors are afraid to say, embarrassed to say and unwilling to express. In his own consultation process, he will also agree with the counselor's feelings and understanding attitude towards visitors. This dual role can help us to walk more calmly on this road.

3. Practice lightness skill-participate in long-distance running training and get on the road quickly.

In the initial stage of accumulation, usually 3-5 years, you can call yourself an entry-level consultant. You can consider accelerating your own growth and broadening your horizons by participating in long-distance systematic learning, such as training courses in China, America, Norway, China and Germany, China and Britain, CAPA and other countries. After all, psychological counseling is imported and founded by Freud, so cultural differences are inevitable. However, after Germany, the research of European and American masters can more accurately approach the origin of psychological counseling. More importantly, participating in systematic training is the only way for consultants to go professional. It is undoubtedly helpful for consultants to have high-quality teaching resources and supervision resources.

4, practice internal strength-Kung Fu is in the world, reading encyclopedia, introspection.

Solid basic skills, long-term immersion, and experience. It seems that my career has reached a bottleneck. Now how to improve your internal strength has been put on the agenda. Psychological counseling takes language as a tool. How to refine the counseling language? How to adapt to local conditions for different tourists? Understanding different disciplines, especially China ancient culture, traditional classics, religion, philosophy and other disciplines, and studying the meaning and pain of life can increase the depth of consultants themselves and relatively improve their consulting depth.

It is equally important to reflect on your life. If a consultant does a good job in consulting, but his private life is unsightly, then we can't call him a qualified consultant. The purpose of psychological counseling is to improve the self-help ability of the visitor, so that he can face the future life with a psychological attitude after counseling. In this process, the sense of control and initiative will come out spontaneously. The most important thing is this self-help. How did your mood swings come about? Why is this happening? What's my attitude towards psychological counseling? Do I treat visitors as equal people or sick people? These implicit ideas can easily deceive us at critical moments.

? Therefore, the cultivation of internal strength is also inseparable from introspection. Remember, you are the most reliable visitor.

5. Practice the unique magic that suits you.

? Now, it's time to ask yourself, which field do you want to focus on in the future? Which groups am I suitable for? What school of theory do I like? Find your place and go deep into it.

Maybe you like psychoanalysis; Perhaps, you like to be a group; Maybe you like jung's sand table. There are too many things to choose from in psychological counseling, not much, but only improvement. Do you remember? No matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, it is a good cat that can catch mice.

Among the above five cheats, 1 is the first step to get started, and there is no order from 2 to 5, which is the only way to run through the career of psychological counselors and the content that needs constant thinking, study and hard work in daily work.

There is a long way to go in Xiu Yuan, and I will go up and down. On this road, I am still practicing hard. What about you?
