What problems should psychological counseling pay attention to?

1, relaxed. When consulting for the first time, you may have questions: What kind of person is the consultant? Can I trust you? Can you really help me? ..... Indeed, it is normal to see a counselor for the first time, expecting help, being suspicious and even nervous. I hope you can accept this emotion, which will help you better enter the counseling state.

2. Arrive on time as agreed. A leisurely schedule helps to ease the tension in the initial consultation. If there is an emergency that delays arrival, don't worry, please inform the assistant in time.

3. Think about the problems you want to solve in advance. There may be more than one problem that bothers us. We can clear our minds first and think about which problem to start with and which problem to solve first, which will help us get to the point more smoothly.

What can I do in consultation?

Open your heart and express it truly. Psychological counselors are not "mind readers". They need to collect the necessary information from you and dig out what you have not expressed. Please take the initiative to express your true feelings (including your thoughts on the consultant or the consultation process, etc.). ), which helps the consultant to understand you and promote the pace and direction of consultation.

Please cooperate with the consultant. Consultation is a process in which visitors and consultants work together. For example, the consultant may ask you questions, invite you to play sand table games, draw pictures or assign "homework". Please cooperate.

Please continue to attend on time. Psychological counseling is a step-by-step process, and it is inevitable that you will encounter thorny problems or have the idea of giving up. Please firmly believe that persistence and regular participation in consultation are helpful and will continue.

Will the counselor tell me what to do?

What psychological counseling can bring you is to help you understand and explore your own behaviors and feelings more, so as to obtain a healthy psychological state and the strength to deal with problems. All this is gradually happening in the safe relationship established between the counselor and you. A professional consultant won't decide for you what to do with your life. After all, you are the master of your own life, and the consultant has no right to intervene, but the consultant may bring inspiration. TA may ask you "Have you considered any aspect of something" and "How do you feel about something" to help you understand your inner voice. Whether you listen to your inner voice or not, you have your own decision.
