What are some common counseling misconceptions?

  Psychological counseling is a good way to relieve psychological stress and improve psychological tolerance, almost everyone needs psychological counseling in their lives, but in reality there are many users of psychological counseling have some misconceptions.  1, psychological counseling is chatting Psychological counseling is different from the general sense of chatting, although the main way of psychological counseling is to talk, but psychological counseling using the professional theoretical knowledge of psychology, and sociology, medicine and other aspects of knowledge, there is a strict scientific theoretical system and operating procedures, so as to achieve the purpose of solving psychological problems, help people to lift the psychological crisis and promote the development of personality. This is completely different from friends chat, family and friends of persuasion and comfort, teachers of education, leadership of the ideological and political work.  2, anyone can be a psychological counselor As no one can just drive a car, psychological counselors should undergo rigorous training and assessment, and obtain a license from the management before taking up the job. According to the requirements of developed countries, a qualified wholly-owned counselor should basically have a doctorate in psychology and medicine, undergo rigorous internship training, have some practical experience, pass a certification qualification examination, and be able to practice alone under the guidance of a superior supervisor. For well-known reasons, China has not yet reached the requirements of developed countries, and the gap is very large. We can only lower the standard to enable some talents who love psychological counseling and basically have the quality of psychological counseling, and gradually cultivate senior professionals in psychological counseling for early convergence with international standards.  3, I have good psychological quality, do not need psychological counseling The role and task of psychological counseling is not only to solve your psychological crisis and a large number of psychological problems. No matter how strong, smart, honest, passionate and knowledgeable you are, you cannot know yourself very well and you need to know yourself from others. You can’t reflect on yourself every moment, nor can you always look at yourself from an outsider’s standpoint. Learning about yourself from others may give you false indications. Counseling is a more standard mirror that allows you to understand yourself correctly from all angles without distortion. A correct understanding of oneself can build on one’s strengths and avoid one’s weaknesses to promote development and success in life.  4.The counselor can read my mind and know my past and future. Some people make the mistake of simplifying psychological counseling, while others make the mistake of over-complicating and mystifying it. Some people equate psychology with mystical doctrines, such as fortune tellers, divination, supernatural powers, etc. There are now electronic computers on the market that are used to cheat people under the guise of psychological tests, and some people deliberately ask psychologists to guess their own psychological activities and use them to measure the level of psychologists, etc. There is nothing special about psychologists other than the fact that their expertise in psychology is different from the general population. Psychologists have good trained observation skills, know the scientific laws of mental activity and have a very objective logical analysis ability to determine certain subconscious mental activities, but all this must come from real, objective and comprehensive information. Psychologists themselves cannot, and cannot with the help of high-tech instruments, learn about specific ideas. The most advanced polygraphs cannot measure specific details of thinking, and people’s knowledge of the brain lags far behind that of the most sophisticated electronic computers, and the psychological world is not as complex as modern people imagine. You must have a scientific mind when dealing with psychological counseling.  5, to do psychological counseling disgrace Due to historical reasons and many objective factors, people do not know much about their own psychological world, many people still can not distinguish between “neurological” and “mental”, “mental” and “psychological Many people do not know the difference between “neurological” and “mental”, “mental” and “psychological”, and “mind”. Fear and suspicion of psychological counseling may stem from ignorance of “mental illness” and fear of being treated as “mentally abnormal” and psychological problems as “psychopathic” and “thought problems. “thought problems”. Sometimes minor psychological problems may not be solved scientifically, resulting in the final development of heavy mental illness. It is sad that psychological problems are allowed to develop by “covering” and “hiding” them. Psychological counseling is one of the best ways to promote human growth and development, and is an effective way to prevent psychological disorders and to improve the quality of life and achieve success in life. The most basic principles of counseling include “absolute confidentiality”, where you can open up your inner world to a psychologist who will give you careful maintenance. Counseling will enable you to move away from ignorance and superstition, accept reality and challenge yourself. People who think that “it’s a shame to see a psychologist” are weak and afraid to accept themselves and reality, and their psychology is not very healthy. Modern progressive-minded people have walked into the counseling room without any worries and are confidently heading for a successful future.  6, psychological counseling should not charge or less charge Psychological counseling is a matter of helping people, is to help people to relieve the pain of the soul, is to do good deeds, and there is not much cost, so many people think it should be no charge. Although modern people know in theory that time and knowledge are valuable, because these are intangible things and because of the influence of traditional thinking deep inside, many people need psychological counseling but are unwilling to pay for it. Foreign psychological counseling is a very expensive consumption, our country’s fees are very low, so many psychologists can not make a living from this, become one of the reasons affecting the development of mental health in China.  7, psychological counseling should be a solution to the problem Many first-time counseling people imagine that psychologists can be a long-term depression and pain to sweep away, set aside the fog of the mind, away from worry and confusion, to see the true blue sky, but also my relaxed mood and uplifting spirit. However, the psychologist is not a god, and there is nothing beyond the normal kung fu, “the bell must be tied” “nerve” counseling is a good way to relieve mental stress and improve mental capacity, almost everyone needs counseling in their lives, but The reality is that there are still many people who have some misconceptions about psychological counseling.  Counseling in China is still relatively new, both those who are engaged in this business and the general public who need counseling need to have a fairly long process of understanding and acceptance. It is undeniable that there is a vast market for psychological counseling and a bright future for its development. There is no doubt that a healthy mind is very important for individuals, a nation and a country.
