How to better convey your feelings and ideas to professional psychological counselors?

1. Psychological counseling is a process to help visitors see themselves clearly and understand themselves.

The relationship between counselors and visitors is equal and cooperative. We politely call consultants "teachers", but in fact, the other party does not have the authority of teachers. TA is an ordinary person like you, or to put it another way, TA is an expert like you. TA is an expert in consulting technology, and you are an expert in your own life. Two experts are sitting together to discuss the topic of * * *. The master of this topic is you, and you are in a dominant position. So, you might as well change the name "teacher" to "consultant". Will it make you feel more relaxed?

In the consulting room, you can talk about any topic.

Because the consultation process is confidential, there are only consultants and you in the consultation room. You can discuss it with TA Including your requirements for consultants. Counselors are acceptable. For example, you can say to the counselor, "How do you feel?" When I was asked, "Is there anything you want to communicate with me?" Or be asked, "What do you want to ask me?" Or be asked, "Do you have any questions you want to discuss with me?" When I asked these questions, I began to get scared and began to shrink back. ], this is a channel for consultants to walk into you and get to know you.

You can also tell the counselor that "* * * is not enough". In short, as long as you have bad feelings, you can tell the counselor. The title says that the effect is "good and bad". You are afraid that the other party will not accept you if you say it badly ... Maybe it is because your relationship has not made you feel safe enough. We should respect our feelings. If we feel unsafe, we can slow down and wait until the right time to discuss this part of "bad feelings" with the psychological counselor. Or, you can just tell the counselor what you think is "bad" because that's how you really feel. Counselors are trained and will accept you. Don't worry!

3. There is a degree of matching between consultants and visitors.

If you think this consultant is not suitable for you, you can apply for another consultant. Otherwise, the consultation effect will be greatly reduced. Also, in the initial stage of consultation, you can learn about the consultant, such as which technical school he is from, which audience he mainly targets, consulting experience and duration. And try to find a consultant who suits you. This is the right of tourists. You can coordinate this matter with the psychological structure or discuss it directly with the psychological counselor. She will understand you!

4. The consultation time can be adjusted.

If you are uncomfortable with the current consultation interval, you are not ready. You can adjust the consultation time with the institution or consultant in advance and adjust it to your comfortable time.
