The audience of psychological counselors are mostly general psychological problems or serious psychological problems, except schizophrenia and personality disorder. Psychologists should not only give psychological counseling and guidance to patients, but also be responsible for recording patients' daily medication and mental state, while psychological counselors are not qualified to give drugs to patients, so the scope of treatment is much smaller than that of psychologists.
When I first entered the consulting profession, I didn't really understand why so many people wanted to apply for psychological counselors. I remember when I attended the training of psychological counselors, I was the youngest student in my class and the oldest was the principal of our local primary school. According to my age, I have to call him grandpa. I chose the major of psychological counseling after the college entrance examination, because I have some psychological problems and can't get out. At that time, I especially rejected contact with the opposite sex, and I didn't allow them to touch me or even look at them.
So I chose a normal school with more girls and a targeted psychology major. At least, psychology was still useful to me at that time. After entering the university, I received several counseling services from the director and had a hypnosis. Gradually, I can get along with my male classmates and get along with them generously.
For me, I am the beneficiary. So, thinking that others will face different psychological problems like me, I began to embark on the road of psychological counseling. If you want to be sad, you will meet some visitors with some risk factors, but whenever you solve psychological problems for others, it is quite fulfilling to hear them say "thank you".
