The main groups that psychological counseling teachers face are students at school, not those visitors who feel uncomfortable in society and take the initiative to seek help. Therefore, psychological counseling teachers are a combination of ordinary teachers and psychological counselors.
They need to master not only the relevant knowledge of pedagogy, but also the relevant knowledge of psychology.
First of all, they must understand the different stages of students' psychological development in order to predict and solve the problems they may encounter at this stage.
Secondly, they should have the basic qualities of a psychological counselor, such as visitor center, love, confidentiality and so on. Especially in students' work, children have strong self-esteem, and they are even shy when they encounter problems, so they are embarrassed to ask for help. Therefore, this requires psychological counseling teachers to have meticulous observation ability and smooth communication ability with students. Only in this way can children open their hearts and entrust themselves to you.
In addition, as a psychologist, one's own skills must be excellent. It cannot be confined to a certain school such as humanism, psychoanalysis, behaviorism, functionalism and gestalt. All aspects should be dabbled in, learn from others' strengths, learn from others' strengths, and be integrated. These are not enough. We should accumulate more practical experience and learn more effective therapies popular in society, such as sand table, building blocks, painting and hypnosis.
Psychological counseling teacher is a sacred job. Only by maintaining healthy psychological growth can students go further and be full of more energy while studying hard. Therefore, we should do this job well with this sense of faith and responsibility.
