One thing to note is that the cost of one session of counseling and therapy will not cost more than a meal at a restaurant for you. A month’s fee will not be more expensive than a month’s worth of medicine for any chronic medical condition. Counseling and therapy must have a fee equal to its value, because it is valuable and meaningful work in itself, and the psychologist is putting in an intense amount of mental work that will also make the visitor or society as a whole value and take it seriously. It will bring you a whole new inner feeling and inner world and will affect your whole life. Psychological counseling is a paid service, mainly on an hourly fee basis. The reason for charging on time is that: 1. Counseling is a process in which the counselor helps the counselor solve psychological problems, and the counselor deserves to be paid for his or her work and time. If you pay for your work, you should be charged. Just like we hire a moving company to move or a tailor to make clothes, we have to pay someone. 2.It is good for establishing a good consulting relationship. After the consultant receives the consultation fee, a service contract relationship is formed naturally, which shows the sincerity and trust of the helper and gives the consultant the obligation and responsibility; the helper is bound to take the initiative to cooperate with the consultation on time, and the consultant is bound to do his best after receiving the fee, and both parties can devote themselves to the consultation, so that the consultation effect can be guaranteed. 3, the consultation fee itself has a certain role in psychotherapy and bad personality correction: the process of psychological counseling requires the cooperation of both parties to pay efforts together, no charge for psychological counseling, the client in the treatment of active self-exploration and change their own motivation is often insufficient, always hope that the counselor comfortably solve the problems that have plagued them for a long time, this waiting for the assistance of others and their own inaction, do not pay that want to At the same time, the fee-based service is also a kind of behavioral regulation of the counselor’s behavior, and consulting with the counselor within the agreed time has a positive effect on enhancing the counselor’s self-awareness, responsibility, and self-control. Therefore, professional counseling services must be fee-based, and counseling without fees is often more casual and unprofessional. The negativity of no-fee counseling is that, because of no-fee counseling, clients tend to treat the counselor as an object to vent their bad emotions and self-expression, and talk endlessly, but they are a million miles away from the psychological symptoms. The counselors may even feel that their careful work has become a trash can for others, and they are frustrated. Therefore, professional psychological counseling, should be based on fee-based services, should be a course of treatment, a course of fees, because the formation of psychological disorders is often the result of the accumulation of months and years since the birth of the disease, the disease comes like a mountain, the disease goes as silk, to solve the psychological disorders is never once or twice the consultation can be solved, to see the effect of psychological counseling often need at least a course of psychotherapy, such as professional psychoanalysis The ancestor of psychotherapy, Froehlich, the treatment of psychological disorders often lasts one or two years or even longer, and for most people with psychological problems, always hope that there is some panacea, can solve all the problems at once, in fact, this is unrealistic, the current popular more professional compromise therapy — short course of psychotherapy, a course of treatment is generally about 1 ~ ~ 2 months, once or twice a week Counseling therapy, of course, to do several counseling to specific analysis of the situation. In the past, we have tried not to charge, but later found that there are at least two harmful effects of not charging. 1. The visitor does not value the opportunity to receive treatment, and does not value the interaction with the doctor or the regular visits. As a result, he comes to the doctor only to chat with him and does not seriously talk about his true feelings. As a result, psychotherapy cannot be carried out systematically and effectively. 2. If you don’t pay the fee, the doctor will also lack a sense of responsibility and think: I can chat with you and listen to you, but I don’t care whether I can give you the best help and whether it can be effective. Therefore, if you do not pay the fee, you will end up damaging not only the interests of the doctor, but also the interests of the patient or the visitor.
