I remember the teacher once said that psychological counselor is a special major. In psychology, many great psychologists, such as Freud, Jung and Watson, have some psychological problems, but when they are suffering from psychological torture. But it also left many classic works for psychology. Even created many schools of psychology. But they are also suffering. In my teacher's joking words: if there is no mental illness, it really won't go far in psychology.
Psychological counselors are also ordinary people. The more successful a psychologist is in this profession, the more he experiences. His experience is a special treatment in itself. When psychological counselors are uncomfortable, they know that they have problems. When some of their behaviors have problems, they will also go to psychological supervisors and find some psychologists who are more experienced than themselves to help them point out and help them find hidden problems. Psychological counselors usually have a psychological supervisor to help them.
First of all, this is normal. Counselors are also human beings, and they also have secular desires and sometimes they feel depressed. This is normal. You are no different from others. We don't need to put a lot of pressure on ourselves, because we are psychological counselors. How can I suppress it internally? This is completely unnecessary and should not be.
?
On the other hand, because we are psychological counselors, we can really have a good insight into the sources of some of our inner pressures and what caused them. So it may be easier than ordinary people to deal with their emotional depression and so on.
As psychological counselors, we usually have a better social support system, so we can certainly relieve our depression by talking with friends. Talking together, chatting together and communicating with each other really help to improve the pain that makes us feel depressed. Even because of other people's perspective, we can figure it out at once.
When we feel too depressed, or maybe we can't handle it well, we can also go to a psychological counselor as a visitor. Of course, if you feel that your depression is caused by your interaction with visitors during the consultation process, you can contact your supervisor more actively and report these emotions to your supervisor.
Will the psychological counselor be in a bad mood?
When consulting, a counselor is a counselor who faces visitors with psychological problems. But in real life, psychological counselors also need to eat, buy a house, take a car and so on. Even ordinary people, ordinary people, will inevitably encounter many joys and sorrows, and their emotions will inevitably fluctuate. This is normal.
However, the task of psychological counselors is to help others adjust their emotions, and they must know the sources of emotions and the methods to eliminate them. So in theory, they should be calmer than ordinary people, and they will be less affected by emergencies.
When psychological counselors help visitors solve problems, there is a link called cognitive adjustment, which is to change the unreasonable views in the minds of visitors. But if you adjust yourself, it will be much more difficult, because usually many people don't think they are wrong. Even if they find that their ideas are wrong, it is difficult to change them. For example, how hard is it to fall?
In a word, the psychological counselor's ability to adjust emotions is better than the average person, that is, he is a master of repairing electrical appliances, and the electrical appliances in his own home are definitely better maintained than those in others' homes.
Psychological counselors are just ordinary people, living in the real world, with all kinds of pressures that every ordinary person will encounter. These influences will also make psychological counselors feel bad. But one advantage of psychological counselors is that they can better perceive their own problems and deal with their emotions in time. A qualified psychological counselor actually needs systematic training, which is not only the improvement of consulting skills, but also the growth of self.
In addition, counselors also have their own counselors. In psychological counseling, if psychological counselors have emotional or psychological problems, they should go to their own psychological counselors for personal experience, so as to restore mental health and promote personal growth.
On this issue, I want to say, of course, the counselor is actually an ordinary person, and his mood will fluctuate. No one is always happy, and counselors will encounter everything that others encounter in their lives. But a consultant is different from ordinary people. He can know how to make changes or what needs to be done to make his state better.
The reason why a counselor is a counselor is because I have a personal opinion to share with you. More than half of the counselors are psychological patients before they start working, which means there are more problems than others. Learning is not asking others for answers. What psychological counseling solves is not the problem at all, but the way of thinking of each problem, that is, to explore the reasons behind the problem. Or ordinary people!
There is a kind of person, called a physical and mental tutor, who is very happy every day, no longer solves other people's problems and does not label them. They are people who turn around quickly. Any problem is not the reason behind it, but a temporary miracle! This kind of thing, the man of god
Another kind, through logic learning, finally embeds an electronic chip into the brain. This chip is called Superman.
There are more and more gods in our time. With the popularization of artificial intelligence, the Superman era is coming. Don't think I'm talking about science fiction The truth is, you don't know yet.
