"Counselor" is a neutral word. Although many people associate counselors with historical celebrities such as Sean, Zhuge Liang, Sun Bin and Jiang Shang, "counselor" is just a professional name that runs through ancient and modern times. Psychological counselor aims to help you solve your doubts, analyze the problems you face from his point of view, and give suggestions. It may not help you completely solve the problem, but at least it can help you move in the direction of finally solving the problem.
Contemporary psychological counselors are different from counselors. The word "consultation" comes from western translation vocabulary and is integrated with western ideas. Western consulting itself is very professional, including psychological consulting, management consulting, marketing consulting, technical consulting and strategic consulting. What contemporary psychological counselors do is not limited to a certain profession or a certain field, but they are integrated into work, life, society, science and technology, commerce, military affairs, medicine and other aspects with their mature ideas, which is beyond the reach of western consulting.
Contemporary counselors are also different from ancient counselors. First, in terms of knowledge, ancient counselors mainly concentrated in politics, military affairs, medicine, astronomy, geography, life and other aspects, and their knowledge was mainly the classic science with the Book of Changes as its source. Contemporary counselors need to involve much more knowledge than in ancient times. In terms of thinking mode and thinking method, we should not only continue to inherit China's traditional thinking mode and thinking method, but also integrate into the western thinking mode.
