1. Are you sensitive to yourself and others? Can you understand these feelings? Please review your life all the way. Are you a person who always cares about your feelings?
Are you keenly aware of what your inner feelings are? (e.g. inferiority complex)
You can understand why you feel this way. (e.g., childhood experiences)
When friends are in contact with you, can you tell their feelings, emotions and motives from their eyes and words?
Do you know what these mean?
"Be aware of the emotions of yourself and others" and "Understand what these emotions represent",
If you lack this ability, it is equivalent to breaking two hands for the consultant.
Because when many cases are told before your eyes,
You can't understand or guess or wonder what his feelings are?
Then, it will be difficult for you to establish a relationship with the case.
Because he doesn't feel understood.
This consultation can't continue ~
You will also feel extremely depressed.
2. Are you always helping yourself to grow and change?
I quite agree with my former teacher taking a course in consulting technology.
In the first class,
Please each of us say something you want to change and are willing to really do. (For example, exercise once a week, hand in homework on time every time, and control your temper ...)
Because he said, if you don't want to do this,
Then how can you ask for a change of case because of consultation?
Therefore, a good consultant,
It usually grows at every stage,
Even before entering the consulting industry,
You should have such qualities and habits.
Did you have a good time? Have you tried to make your life gradually become what you want?
If you are miserable and depressed,
Then consulting is like walking a tightrope.
It is likely to produce some dangers (for example, you and the case have a nervous breakdown).
3. Do you have your own ideas about people's behaviors, ideas and stories?
When a friend next to you tells you his story or experience,
What do you have in mind?
You can probably figure out what kind of person he is.
Why did he do it?
If there is such a story,
You always have no special ideas and are empty.
Then, you will have no idea about your case in the future.
Your consultation will become "empty".
Because there is no idea, there is no "goal".
You don't know which direction your work should go?
This case will not benefit from negotiation.
There will be a series of events and setbacks, which will make you feel that you are doing badly.
4. How much time and energy are you willing to invest in training to become a consulting psychologist?
The license is actually not difficult to test ~
But to qualify for real practice,
It is several times more difficult than textual research! ! !
Internship as a consultant,
This is a long and difficult journey.
You must really take the case and work in a consulting agency.
As I said at the beginning,
Everything about you will be exposed to the sun,
Compared with writing a paper,
You will spend more time getting to know yourself,
Organize yourself, adjust yourself, make yourself calmer, more confident and more acute,
Face this case with more empathy,
You can't run away from the setbacks you encounter.
If you want to muddle through, you may not be able to practice smoothly.
Therefore, you must spend more time, physical strength and effort than you think, study hard and do a good job of "consulting".
