In this day and age, material life can be said to be relatively rich, people no longer worry about food and clothing, but for most people, the emptiness of the spiritual world is unprecedented. “Depressed”, “irritable” has become the mantra of some people, but also has become a familiar word to the public. Acquaintances used to meet and ask “have you eaten”, but now they mostly ask “how is your mood”. Even the popular proverb in recent years: “High job is better than high salary, high salary is better than high life, high life is better than happy.” In order to be happy, people do not hesitate to buy a smile for a thousand dollars, so a variety of entertainment industry services are popping up. Unfortunately, no matter where to wake up, it is always a spring dream, after a short period of relaxation, anxiety, depression still lingers. Life is short and it is hard to find a soulmate. Therefore, quietly, psychological counseling as a new industry came into being, especially over the years, the trend of flourishing. How do you think about psychological counseling and psychologists? The society is so big that naturally, the benevolent will see the wisdom of the wise. Some of the following views are very common. Viewpoint 1: “Counseling is a place for people to dump their psychological garbage.” This is naturally one of the functions of counseling. An underlying theme might be, “Psychologists are psychological dumpsters.” Just like many psychologists, we often encounter the concern: “You must be extraordinarily psychological in this business! Otherwise, face so many negative things every day, sooner or later will have to break down, right?” Beginners in the industry can not help but hear the creepy, “you are concerned about me, or threaten me ah?” Some of my colleagues who have been in the industry for a long time don’t care, “Anyway, you pay for the fun, I’m dedicated to a fair deal. There is no free psychological garbage can, so you can pay my sanitation fee!” These colleagues will sometimes compare themselves to “sex service providers”, are serving the community! Some of our self-improvement colleagues say, “We are not garbage cans! We are the toilet! Because first, our skin is very thick and hard, can not break; second, our wall is very smooth, hanging on the dirty things; third, we have a hole below, what leak what.” While flirting, it is not difficult to feel a touch of helplessness of the practitioners. Personal experience is not much, but one thing is certain, I like this work. In it, I get more than just the material aspect back (of course, in line with the regulations). The people who ask for help are happier each time I meet them than the time before, and are more willing to share that happiness with me. This is always very rewarding and I am increasingly motivated to do it. Joy adds value, and it does so through sharing. The reason is that both parties in counseling are living people, and people are flexible, so the value of the labor generated in the interaction – joy – is also flexible. “Ask the canal where it is clear, for there is living water from the source.” Since it is living water, why should it be treated as “garbage”? As the old saying goes, “A gentleman is not a tool.” I am not a garbage can, not to mention a toilet, not a container, I am a person! Viewpoint 2: “Counseling is a place where a master can show you the way.” After the consultation, it is a common feeling to be enlightened, and there are even those who feel that “listening to you is better than reading a book for ten years” after receiving the consultation. So the psychologist sometimes gives the impression of being an omnipotent “master”, and his smile can even kill or take away. There are indeed many people in the profession who share this view. They are full of the heart of “helping people”, with great enthusiasm and patience, sparing no effort to save the people in deep water. Once they have successfully helped each other, the sense of accomplishment is indescribable, and there is a great “one word to raise the state” of merit. So the head of the golden light has more than a few, the body of the title and added a few levels, the altar of God under the feet and a few layers higher. Over time, not only like experts, but also like the gods. If not as divine as the gods, let’s do a half-fairy. If everyone is so lucky all the time, it is still welcome. Regrettably, one will be successful, one person happy hundred people sad. In the counseling industry, if everyone becomes a master, the world will not be chaotic! More commonly seen is that many colleagues in the process of helping others halfway, fell off the altar, back to ordinary people. No diamond, no porcelain work. I sincerely bless them! Some people are infatuated with the idea that if they don’t succeed, they will become benevolent. Swollen face to fill the fat, the result can only be a tiger can not be a dog. Can not accept the fact that they are not masters, to die in the line of duty, righteousness. The master can’t save others, but harm themselves, sad and pitiful! Such a psychiatrist, do you dare to let him treat the disease? I am not an expert, nor am I a master. When strangers call me that, I can only smile reluctantly and return the salute modestly. If an acquaintance or peer calls me that, sorry, you’d better just scold me! If an expert in the garb of a guru appears in front of me, my first reaction may be to lift up his/her guru’s garb and see what he/she is wearing underneath, could it be the emperor’s new clothes? Of course, there are many other points, too numerous to mention, limited to space, next time to break down.
