(1) Personality:
The personality condition of a career counselor is the most important factor to do a good job in psychological counseling, and it is also the first condition that a career counselor should have. The so-called personality refers to a person's whole mental outlook, which is the sum total of stable psychological characteristics with a certain tendency, including temperament, personality, interests, beliefs, abilities and so on. First, he should be a relatively healthy person, and his health level is at least higher than that of his clients. A qualified career counselor should be a happy person who loves life and has good adaptability. He can properly handle his own psychological conflicts and eliminate daily interference, thus ensuring the smooth progress of helping others. Secondly, he should be a helpful person. Only a helpful person can give warmth to the client in the consultation relationship, create a safe and free atmosphere, accept all kinds of positive and negative emotions of the client and enter the inner world of the client; Third, he should be a serious and responsible person. Patiently listen to the client's narrative, concentrate on it, make the client feel concerned about their difficulties, be able to talk to the client sincerely and frankly, and make them willing to expose their inner privacy and secrets, which is worthy of their trust.
(2) knowledge:
Do psychological counseling with necessary theoretical knowledge. Psychological counseling does not rely on good wishes, enthusiasm and common sense to comfort, persuade troubled parties or encourage psychological patients to fight diseases. Psychological counseling and psychotherapy are scientific work. We should use the scientific knowledge of helping others to help the parties, let them understand the real reason that bothers them, correct or give up their maladjustment, and make them psychologically mature. Career counselors must have knowledge of behavioral science, social psychology, psychotherapy and psychiatry. In order to understand how the customer's difficulties are formed. Where are the roots of contradictions and conflicts? Wait a minute.
(3) Must have certain skills:
Career counselors should be good at helping others, including how to collect customers' information in the shortest time, such as situations or events that bother them, the time when symptoms appear and their development, and how to ask questions in a timely and alert manner. How to find the unconscious cover-up and resistance of the parties? How to guide them to gradually understand the crux of their own hearts, how to design some corresponding methods to correct some bad behaviors, especially for neurotic children, how to explain something to the parties at the right time, what to explain, and so on.
Although the personality conditions, knowledge conditions and skill conditions mentioned above are clearly defined, they are all very important and cannot be replaced by each other. A good career consultant should be a combination of personal qualities, academic knowledge and help skills.
In addition to the three conditions mentioned above, to become a qualified career counselor, you must also do the following two things:
Professional counselors should pay special attention to moral cultivation. Psychologists should have noble professional ethics and should not take advantage of their work to do things that are not conducive to patients. Don't spread things that need to be kept secret for patients;
2 Career counselors should constantly know themselves and know themselves. Not only should we know our strengths and advantages, but more importantly, we should know our weaknesses and blind spots. Only by analyzing ourselves and understanding ourselves can we understand others.
