"Professor Rong, I often can't help but swallow what to do, sometimes choke on my words, what should I do?"
"How can I forget this painful memory?"
"I couldn't find the meaning of life and felt dispensable."
Many people may not know that not only people with depression and anxiety disorders will do psychological counseling.
More and more clients will come to Professor Rong Xinqi for hypnotic psychological counseling because of a specific or vague psychological distress and living habits, which may be forced by lighting, forced salivation, painful memories, tobacco and alcohol addiction and so on. Most people who do not understand hypnosis and psychological counseling usually have the following questions:
"What does counseling do?" Can you solve the problem by chatting? ”
"Psychological counseling is what I talk to myself on a recliner, and the therapist mostly just listens?" ”
"Does it work just to talk?" The problem is not solved? ”
"Does hypnotic counseling just give you a comfortable night's sleep?" ”
In fact, there are many kinds of psychological counseling (or psychotherapy), different therapists are good at different things, and hypnosis is also a way of psychological counseling.
For psychological counseling and hypnosis, understanding these four key questions can make you understand the role of psychological counseling and hypnosis, and whether they can solve your problems.
Problem one: If you have a specific real-world problem, you want to find a solution quickly
It is recommended that you try "Focus Resolution Therapy". The hypnotist will try to tap into your subconscious, your subconscious abilities, will try to tap into the abilities you already have, guide you to come up with solutions, and test the effects.
Question 2: If you want to improve a specific symptom (e.g., panic, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder)
It is recommended that you choose a combination of "cognitive behavioral therapy" and "hypnotherapy", and the therapist will guide you to analyze the habitual thinking related to symptoms, behavioral performance and physical sensations, and improve symptoms by changing these factors.
Question Three: If it's relationships that're bothering you
You can choose individual treatments, or you can consider "group therapy" or "family therapy." The therapist will invite "people involved, etc." into the counseling room to observe your communication style, sort out differences in opinions or feelings, try to adjust each other's expectations, and change the inertia of interaction.
Question Four: If you want to explore yourself, why do you feel so miserable and confused?
You can choose between "dynamic orientation" or "analytical orientation" psychotherapy. The therapist will listen fully, perhaps inviting you to talk about childhood, dreams, fantasies, and accompany you to understand the whole picture of the mind.
Of course, the above classification can not cover all expectations and treatment methods, and many times psychological counseling is a combination of multiple psychological counseling treatment methods.
Here, I would like to share a recent case of a combination of multiple psychological counseling and treatment methods:
Wen Xin (pseudonym) is a girl who is about to get married, but because of frequent panic attacks, she comes to Professor Rong Xinqi's studio for treatment. She herself was puzzled as to why she was about to get married and enter the palace of happiness, so she would often panic.
When he first visited, Wen Xin couldn't tell why he was panicking and spoke quickly. According to the situation, Professor Rong first used hypnotherapy to make Wen Xin slowly quiet down, and then used "cognitive behavioral therapy" to help Wen Xin find out the cause of panic attack.
After a course of treatment, I learned that it was Wen Xin who was too obsessed with doing a "perfect wedding" and constantly worried about which link might go wrong. By adjusting this "cognition" and using the "behavior" of mindful breathing, the palpitations and wheezing during the attack are handled.
Professor Rong then invited Wen Xin's fiancé to enter "partner therapy" and found that his expectations for the wedding were "everything simple," and the honeymoon was "the most important", so he was impatient with Wen Xin's meticulous planning, and of course did not want to participate. Professor Rong tried to find out the consensus between the two people on the expectations and practices of the wedding, and slowly, Wen Xin's anxiety and uneasiness were slowly expressed. After only three hypnotherapies, Wen Xin's panic disorder improved dramatically.
It can be seen that in addition to understanding what problems you want to solve, what you lack, and what your needs are, correct communication is the key. Secondly, fully trusting your own psychological counselor, choosing a treatment method suitable for you, and finding a professional and experienced psychological counselor is the basis for cultivating a good therapeutic relationship and benefiting from psychological counseling.
