Regarding the admittance system of psychological counselors, it is not that the threshold is too low, but that this industry is very different from other technology admittance industries. Generally speaking, technology-based access to the industry, qualified technology can enter the feasible operation, and the requirements for people are not high, as long as they are healthy and have normal thinking.
Psychological counseling industry is not like this. In addition to technical qualifications, people, personal qualities, self-cultivation, life experience, social experience, law, philosophy and other fields of knowledge are extremely demanding.
Technical learning and supervision are not a problem. Key individuals need their own self-growth, which is very different, including personal qualities, such as analytical ability, perception and insight. There are also knowledge and experience that need to be "determined hard and tired" as Confucius said, and need to go deep into all walks of life to understand. This is really a huge project.
Then the problem is coming. If the threshold is high, who dares to enter such a vast engineering industry? Therefore, lowering the threshold and attracting people who are interested in psychological counseling is the first choice at present.
This is different from other technical access industries. The step of technical access to the industry is outside the threshold, and the step of psychological consultation industry is within the threshold. In other words, when you enter the door, you must climb up desperately.
We, a group of psychological counselors, must first make clear our historical mission, that is, to be the founder of the psychological counseling industry in China in the next ten or twenty years or even longer, and to shout for the psychological counseling and mental health of China people. Only when the big goal is clear, can we study theory and research topics in a down-to-earth manner and promote the development of this industry in practice.
