With the increasing pressure of urbanites, the prospect of psychological counseling industry is getting better and better, so how should we enter the psychological counseling industry? Next, I will tell you how to enter the psychological counseling industry.
How to enter the psychological counseling industry?
In recent years, psychological counseling, psychological counseling and mental health education have been highly valued. More and more people want to join this industry and do active health undertakings, but they are so confused about this industry. How can they become excellent psychological counselors?
Psychological counselor is a career that needs lifelong learning. To be a qualified/excellent psychological counselor, you need to have the most basic qualities, three of which are very important: love learning, love thinking and persist in practice. If you don't take learning as fun, but just make a living as a career, will you have a lot of time? Busy? I have no time to study. ? Learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is dangerous. ? Really effective learning is always thinking while learning, and it is easy to learn without thinking? Law enforcement? Is it easy to just think and not learn? I'll take it? It's easy to learn a lot, but you think deeply but are lazy to practice? Empty? Yes Of course, there are also some who don't study or think, which is? Stubborn? Yes
If you want to grow into an efficient psychological counselor with low learning cost, you need special learning methods. Just like a person who can't read, eating a book from beginning to end is time-consuming and laborious, with little effect; Anyone who can read will know that some books have gained a lot just by studying the catalogue carefully.
This paper will briefly summarize the career path of psychological counselors from the aspects of learning content, learning methods, learning objects, learning results, learning time, learning purpose and four learning States.
1, learn what? (content)
What do you need to learn as a psychological counselor? Master and doctor of psychology have learned a lot. Are they professional enough? Have you thoroughly studied the life of Lao Fu and the different theories of various schools? But many masters can't be consultants. Not only that, but their teacher told them: neither will I? Really? what's up People, what have they learned?
Learn technology? Don't say? Study? It's fresh enough to look at the tricks of each family: Satya, Hellinger, NLP, hypnosis, art therapy? Three, three, six, six, infinite, nothing more than touching color, sound, fragrance and meaning. There are several levels to learn technology. What is the first level? Experience? Many people just stay at this level and think this technology is very good? God? (Actually, I don't have enough knowledge to explain it), so it spread everywhere. What is the second level? Fancy learning? The more you look at it, the more fascinated you become, and the more you learn, the more fascinated you become. It is a superstition to think that this technology can really cure all diseases. The result is just turning a blind eye (even that one? Leaves? I really haven't seen it). What is the third level? Do you understand? , not only know why, but also know why. The same medicine, because people are changing all the time, knowing its pharmacology can take effect. What is the third level? Not just surgery? . From seeing the move to dismantling the move, to seeing the enrollment move. Technology can be created at will. Therefore, the key to learning technology is not to be superstitious or partial, and any method can be used.
Learn theory? Learning theory is a very hard, lonely and interesting process. Sometimes a word is enough to make you forget about tea and rice, and sometimes you are overjoyed. But the breadth and depth of psychological theory are not enough, the foundation is not solid enough, and the internal strength is not deep enough. Even if I teach you a set of eighteen palms, you may not even catch a chicken. Facing the complicated world, due to the theoretical model (hard disk) search? Not recognized? Without professional analysis and processing (CPU can't work), consultants panic (collapse) and are easily dragged into hallucinations (poisoning). There is another phenomenon: the hard disk is very big (I have learned a lot of theories), but the CPU is very low (the ability to conceptualize phenomena with theories is too weak). Will it be the same? Collapse? , unable to work. Religion, philosophy, cultural anthropology, literature, history? Psychology covers almost all disciplines. However,? My life is limited, but so is my knowledge. There is a limit, there is no limit, and there is danger. ? How much is enough to study theory, and how deep is enough? Maybe you haven't learned enough, and you haven't learned enough. Learning theory lies not in how much you learn, but in how much you can use.
What is the final application of both theory and technology as psychological counseling? People? On the body. What if it's just in my heart? Law? , but supercilious? People? This is like being stabbed by a blind man with a sword, which is extremely dangerous. It is better not to learn.
In my opinion, the most important learning content of psychological counselors is scholars? .
Scholars are divided into two aspects.
The first is to know the consultant himself. Which market do you need to face and which target groups do you want to face? What are your strengths? What is an appropriate learning style? What is the efficient channel for receiving information? What is your interest in learning? Good at (relaxing)? Or is it really helpful for your own development? Many people, even if they have the enthusiasm for learning, can't explain clearly why they want to learn this. So, there are many others, endlessly? Self-growth? I always feel that I don't know myself well enough and am deeply immersed in my feelings. Unfortunately, self-tasting is a poison that makes people feel happy. (In fact, it can also be understood as: self-appreciation, narcissistic personality) If a person's self-growth has reached the point of forgetting his original intention, his growth will have no meaning and value.
The second is to understand the target population. Ordinary people, what problems they encounter in life will cause psychological confusion, what they think, what are the reasons behind it and what are the consequences. Psychological counseling is a person's job. People's work can only be truly tested and exercised when facing people. Consultants should create more opportunities to get out of the consulting room, face real life and all kinds of people by talking about salons, doing training (even shopping in the street), listen to them wholeheartedly, understand them, accompany them, feel them, and learn to establish relationships with people. Full contact with people is the place where psychological counselors settle down.
A scholar needs to know himself, to know himself, in order to be conscious and conscious.
2. how to learn? (mode)
After talking for a long time, I finally understood what I wanted to learn. Next, I will consider how to study. How to learn, the key is to solve two problems: how to learn at low cost? How to learn is efficient?
There are thousands or even tens of thousands of people attending a training class in a few days. What do you follow? Famous teacher? (Not necessarily how many are? Master? ), you may only learn the content of a book, and some may not even talk about the whole content. It's just that the teacher said it and we listened, even if the money was spent. Dozens of dollars is less than buying a book, which is more comprehensive than what the teacher said in a few days' class. We haven't figured out exactly where the money is spent. What we spend a lot of money on is the teacher's value and reputation, and at most, we attach a certificate to attend the famous teacher course? This brings a sense of security to some psychological counselors. After all, what we buy is a sense of security endowed by external values. Think you spend a lot of money? Master? I have attended the course for more than ten times. Should I? Qualified? Consulting in this industry. (About what counts? Qualified? When consulting, the following points: How to think about it? Will be elaborated in detail. (It seems to cost a lot of money to buy one? Qualified? You may not really learn anything, but the cost is not high, right?
To really learn some skills in a down-to-earth manner, we can only honestly spend more time learning some core theories and technical systems of psychology and build a complete professional knowledge framework. Money can't be spent, but it should be spent on the blade. More valuable than spending money is spending time and energy to study some seemingly difficult but practical classics, real masters.
Confucius said: It's a pleasure to learn from the times. Many people put this? Xi？ Understand as? Review? My understanding is: practice. If you learn, you must apply what you have learned. Can the theory and technology of psychological counseling really test how much you have learned and finally apply it to it? People? On the body. Learning without learning, or learning without learning, is not efficient learning. We should ask ourselves from time to time: How many opportunities have we created for ourselves to put what we have learned into practice?
How to learn? Cultivate reading vision, cultivate professional self-confidence, and temper your professional standards in practice.
3. Who should I learn from? (object)
There are many schools for psychological counseling, and there are also teachers who teach people how to do counseling. Who should we learn from? Some teachers learn from each other, so they fall in love and faint. Because a teacher can't see the mountain. Yes Which teacher should I learn from, bow down first and wait until? Consciously round? (I feel that I have seen through the teacher's things and learned it), so I started PK and it's no big deal to publicize the teacher everywhere. Oh! People are always limited. I thought the teacher was a god at first, but later I found that the teacher was just a person. I think I thought I was a monkey at first, and then I found that I could be a man and/or a god. These people, unless they are old, look at me.
So-called? Teacher? , right or wrong? Teacher? Is that a name? Teacher? , just.
Confucius said: In a threesome, there must be a teacher. The reality is that we always seem to be sure of our teachers? Loyalty? I don't think much of learning this school (the teacher will be unhappy). What I pay attention to is the teacher's feelings, not the goal that is beneficial to my study. Another reality is that we set too high a standard for those who can become our own teachers. I feel that many people are like this. How can they be their own teachers? Hehe, narcissistic personality is coming again.
Only when you have taken the law from many people can you be handy. It's one-sided to learn from only one teacher, but it's hard to excel shine on you.
How many people can become your teachers, reflecting not your level, but yours? Heart volume? .
Learning law requires a lot of things, okay? Heart volume? ; How much you learn depends on how much you are willing to pay. Heart? .
4. How to think about it? (result)
Who will consider the study of psychological counselors? What is the standard? There are more than 320,000 counselors with counselor certificates in China, and most of them dare not say that they have the professional ability to engage in psychological counseling. Everything for people is the most difficult to consider.
How deep should the psychological counselor's research be? The difficulty of consideration is not? Deep? , but how many? Simple? . Make it clear, make it clear. Bai Juyi's poems are said to make the old woman understand, and he was satisfied. Just to meet the needs of narcissism, not to face people's sincerity in their work.
It seems simple, but it has great meaning. So it is easy to misunderstand: an ignorant layman thinks that psychological counseling is just? Chatting I can't see the skills behind the counselor's plain language; For those who don't understand, it's easy to learn as long as you ask a few questions and do some little tricks.
The study considerations of psychological counselors have to be put into lectures. In consulting practice, when others ask, they will see the truth. Can they be understood in simple language? Can you talk about it? I think these two standards are more realistic.
5. Is it time to study?
Developed countries also have very high requirements for psychological practitioners. In the United States, psychological counseling and therapy professionals must have a doctorate in philosophy or a doctorate in education, which has included the requirements of professional psychological standards. Not only that, but also professional training, 100 hours of supervision and 300 hours of personal experience. After becoming a formal therapist, you still need regular supervision and treatment. In some European countries, psychological counselors or psychotherapists should have at least a master's degree, study for five to seven years, and then put into clinical practice training in the last year. After graduation, you should first go to a hospital or clinic to be an unpaid assistant. It takes 1 to 2 years to become a formal psychological counseling or therapy professional.
Needless to say, how much effort you have to make, just the necessary study time is enough, which is called professional guarantee.
What is our job security? One-month training certificate? ! It's strange that such a consultant is not anxious about visitors!
Professional guarantee, but not necessarily professional!
Psychological counselors do not have a certain amount of study time, and it is really impossible to guarantee professionalism. Learn more and think more than your visitor. You can try to ask him for advice. How long will it take? It's hard to say. The basis of learning, the speed of learning, and the understanding of learning vary from person to person, with only a thousand volumes of confusion and one word of understanding. If the attitude and method of learning are wrong, it will go in the opposite direction. what's up Master? Standing on the shoulders of others, you will always see farther.
At the same time, the study of consultants cannot be calculated in unit time. Watching TV dramas, advertisements, listening to people, splashing water on Q, reading, writing and being silent? Unless you are studying and thinking. Sometimes, you know? Thinking about obsessive-compulsive disorder. Yes. Therefore, we should also learn to force our brains to rest, work and live in the present.
6. What is the purpose of learning?
Why do you want to be a counselor
? Because people say I'm considerate? . Is it your intrinsic value pursuit to become a psychological counselor, or is it to gain praise and affirmation from others? It is based on the external value of others.
? Help others help yourself? Holding? I want to help others? Heart, never do psychological counseling. I put the responsibility of visitors' growth on my back, can I go into battle easily? It soon dried up.
? You make money because of the low threshold? Hehe, making money? Unless you have strong business application ability, it is not a wise choice to join this industry for the purpose of making money. It just looks beautiful. It is not easy.
To solve your own problems? Because it is unreliable to ask anyone, I have to dissect myself while studying. The counselor's focus is only on himself, and he can't do consultation well. If you just want to solve your own problems, you don't have to go to great lengths to study. It is more practical and effective to choose personal growth experience counseling, or learn to trust others and find a predestined psychological counselor to help you understand yourself.
One more question: Why do you want to be a psychological counselor?
7. Four states of learning
The first state: I don't know is I don't know. The so-called: people don't learn and don't know. People who never read books and seldom think always look confident, but they are actually conceited, right? Stubborn? . It's ridiculous to show off after reading a little book and learning a trick and a half. It is difficult for people who don't know what they lack to guide them to learn.
The second state: knowing that you don't know. This kind of person has a clear learning goal, the highest learning efficiency and a very fast growth. It is not difficult to know the difficulty. Sensitive and eager to learn, just don't be ashamed to ask questions. However, there are many things you don't know. How to choose, you must first have some ideas about your career planning. In this way, you will know your priorities and know how to choose.
The third state: I don't know, I know. It is necessary to study with an open mind. But blindly humble, I always feel that I have not learned well enough, which is actually inferiority. Modesty is enough, there is no need to be modest. Have been studying, as long as you don't make moves, you can keep it? Unbeaten? . People with low self-esteem have no courage to try and make mistakes.
The fourth state: knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is also. Know your strengths and limitations, appreciate what you can do, and admit and accept what you can't do. With this mentality, you can learn and do. Knowing what you know and not knowing what you don't know requires a certain theoretical basis and a complete knowledge structure, as well as the courage to have a clear understanding of yourself, so as to judge what you can do, what you can't do and who can do. Well, this is a recommendation. A successful referral is a successful consultation.
The professional learning of psychological counselors has a long way to go, not only to search up and down, but also the most important thing: what you get on paper is very shallow, so you never know if you want to do it well. !
