If you want to go to psychological counseling, are you a sick person to do psychological counseling?

People's demand for psychological counseling is increasing, and in the opening scene of the movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", the Smiths have spent many years of life to smooth out their original passion, and the couple who have become dull and boring, and the couple who are tired of each other go to the marriage counselor for psychological counseling - in the United States, this is like going to the hospital to dispense drugs.

In China, it's a different story. Many couples and couples who encounter marital troubles usually do not think of going to a professional marriage psychologist, but will seek help from relatives and friends, neighborhood committees, women's federations and even lawyers.

Part of the reason for this is that people lack a relative degree of understanding and understanding of marital problems, psychological problems and psychological counselors, and they cannot solve their own psychological problems, but they still hold on, delay the best adjustment period, and finally bring unnecessary difficulties to themselves and their families.

So, what are the misunderstandings about psychological counseling? Guangzhou psychological counseling for your inventory.

01

"Sick" people will go to psychological counseling

Due to historical reasons and the limitations of many objective factors, people do not know much about their psychological world.

Many people's fear of psychological counseling is equivalent to "mental illness", thinking that psychological counseling will be considered "mentally abnormal", considered "psychological pathology", even if the psychological problems are mild, "covered" and "hidden" to let the psychological problems develop, resulting in more serious situations.

Some clients come because of different degrees of depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, etc., and can get good relief by actively seeking professional psychological counseling help.

In fact, the vast majority of people seeking psychological counseling are normal people with mental health, and they encounter problems in their lives that they cannot solve, such as growth problems, catastrophic problems, interpersonal problems, work problems, love problems, marriage problems, family relationship problems, children's education problems, career choices and other issues, these problems are part of normal people's lives, and seeking professional help is the main motivation for them to seek psychological counseling.

In addition, psychological counseling has many functions, and one function is often overlooked, that is, to tap the potential ability of the client in order to better adapt to the environment, maintain and improve their physical and mental health, work and live happier, and actively promote the development of life.

In economically more developed countries, most people with a certain social status have their own personal psychologists, and when they feel that they are in a bad mood, they will seek the help of psychologists so as not to affect their work.

02

Psychological counseling is humiliating

One of the reasons for this is that due to the psychology of family ugliness that cannot be publicized, Chinese people often seek help from relatives and friends when they have marital problems, and they do not trust psychological counselors, and they will also have scruples when they talk.

In fact, there is a "confidentiality principle" in the most basic principle of psychological counseling, the client will frankly display the inner world, and the psychological counselor will give meticulous maintenance to help the client accept and challenge himself. Modern progressive-minded people have walked into the counseling room without hesitation and are confidently moving towards a successful future.

03

Psychological counseling is simply a chat

Many people think that psychological counseling is a counselor chatting with them, and directly telling them how to solve the problem, directly teaching him how to do it. In fact, this is a big misunderstanding.

Although psychological counseling has a certain degree of guidance, it must follow certain principles.

Psychological counselors use psychology and related knowledge to help clients seek solutions to psychological problems through a variety of techniques and methods, but not to help solve any specific problems in life.

In addition, there are many techniques and methods of psychological counseling, in addition to conversation, there are others, such as hypnosis, intentional dialogue, psychoanalysis, cognitive therapy, behavioral therapy, etc., but the situation of each client is different.

Through listening, analyzing and discussing, and using targeted psychological methods and techniques, the counselor will help the client to conduct an objective analysis of the current problems, sort out and find out the root cause of the problem, and inspire and guide the client so that he can get out of the predicament faster and better. Many clients often misunderstand because they do not understand, and feel that such a conversation does not help them substantially at all.

Although the main way of psychological counseling is conversation, psychological counseling uses the professional theoretical knowledge of psychology, as well as sociology, philosophy, medicine and other aspects of knowledge, and has a strict scientific theoretical system and operating procedures, so as to achieve the purpose of solving psychological problems, help people relieve psychological crises, and promote the development of personality.

04

Psychological problems can be solved at once

Many visitors think that psychological counseling is like a cold, headache, injection and medicine, once or twice can be immediately effective, medicine to the disease.

Therefore, I had a lot of confidence in the treatment before coming, and after one treatment, I felt that the problem had not been completely solved, so I was discouraged and disappointed.

In fact, when a person encounters trouble in marriage, love, and interpersonal relationships, the degree of distress is different for each person, and the severity of the problem is also different.

Some clients may be just simple love problems, such as couples quarrelling, this situation may be like a cold to take medicine, consultation once or twice, you can get good help.

Some clients' problems are more complicated, such as the couple married for more than twenty years, the marriage has come to the brink of rupture, the formation of this problem is such a long process, frozen three feet is not a day's cold, which leads to the change of psychological misconceptions, the elimination of unhealthy behavior, the trauma of childhood unfortunate experience can not be solved at one time, even the most powerful psychological counselor, it is impossible to help them solve the problem through one or two psychological counseling.

Therefore, the duration of counseling depends on a variety of factors and varies from person to person.

05

People with good psychological quality do not need psychological counseling

Many people think, "My psychological quality is very good, I don't need psychological counseling."

In fact, psychological counseling is not only a channel to solve psychological crises and a large number of psychological problems, but also an effective way for a person to know himself, achieve self-growth and perfection.

No matter how strong, intelligent, upright, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable a person is, he cannot know himself very well, so he needs to know himself from others; nor can he reflect on himself all the time, nor can he always look at himself from the position of an outsider, and it may be wrong to understand himself from others.

Psychological counseling is a relatively standard mirror, which can objectively understand themselves correctly from all angles, make full use of their strengths and avoid weaknesses, achieve self-growth, improve their quality of life, and create happiness.

For example, before marriage, many couples do not fully predict what kind of challenges and troubles they will encounter in marriage, and through professional premarital psychological counseling, they can improve their ability to cope with marriage and love.

If you can understand all aspects of marriage and family through psychological counseling, improve your ability to cope with love, marriage, parent-child, and family aspects, you can also increase the weight of a happy family.
