In modern society, we often hear from friends or acquaintances that someone somewhere goes to a psychologist, reads psychological articles, is interested in psychology. We also see the performances of psychologists on television, on the radio, on the Internet
In this article I want to write in more detail about the very process of psychotherapy in order to make it clearer for you, what is happening there in the psychologist's office and who are these people - psychologists?
I often hear from people about fear in contacting a psychologist. People even admit that they have questions and unresolved life situations, however, they are also afraid to seek help from a psychologist. The first thing I want to write is that psychological counseling is not scary, but even very interesting! There are different moments in the process of working out your request, but everything should move towards your relief and further development, self-confidence and inner peace.
Once upon a time I also thought: "Why do I need a psychologist, I can decide everything myself!" Later I realized that behind this phrase I was hiding my inner fear to seek help from another person. Perhaps many of you reading this article have had the same thoughts. Attention! The psychologist will not solve any of your problems anyway, but he helps and guides you in your correct decision. In the process of pronouncing your problem, something already becomes clear and obvious for you.
If you finally decide to contact a psychologist, then the first thing to do is to look for a quality specialist. Sometimes you can ask the advice of friends or acquaintances, but it is better to look for yourself. And the first thing you need to pay attention to is the photo, in order to understand whether you like the person outwardly. If your appearance does not inspire confidence, then it is better not to call any further and not come for a consultation, since in the future it will be simply unpleasant for you to communicate, and on the contrary, you should be as comfortable as possible in society with a psychologist. Let's say the photo came up, then you can read, see information about this person, his education, experience and call to talk before the meeting in order to assess your feelings during a phone call. If you like everything: voice, photo, information, then you can safely sign up for a consultation.
Who are these people - psychologists?
Firstly, these are people who are interested in constant development and learning. Secondly, these are people who are empathic and sensitive to other people. And the most important thing is the people who love other people! Of course, as in any profession, there are different psychologists and if you see that you are not interested in your psychologist, they listen to you inattentively, you experience a lot of negative emotions from the first meeting, then think well whether it is worth visiting the same specialist again. Any qualified psychologist undergoes his own psychotherapy without fail. This is necessary in professional activities.
And we must not forget that a psychologist is a person who works “for you”, not “against you”!
What happens in the psychologist's office?
The psychologist's office is the place where you can express everything that has not been expressed in your life: all the sorrows, joys, resentments. No one will judge you for this, and the first thing that happens after the statement and agreement is relief.
At the first consultations, an acquaintance with a psychologist takes place. You talk about what kind of problem led you, the psychologist can ask you clarifying questions, perhaps you yourself come in to tell in detail about some events from your life. Further, you delve into one or another of your specific request and carefully study it.
In long-term work, you will surely come across the thought that everything is bored! Tired of digging and raking various problems in yourself! Or face unpleasant childhood, adolescent experiences that still affect your life today. But remember that this is normal! This is how our mental consciousness works. A lot of our problems in everyday life are intertwined with our past. In order to improve the present and the future, we need to deal with our past.
The period that you want to spend on your psychological dismantling is up to you. The minimum can be 1 consultation for a short answer and making a simple decision, or 3-5 years for a long study and creating the best version of yourself!
And most importantly - you receive psychological consultations primarily for yourself! It's up to you to decide how much you want to work and where to go, not a psychologist. You cultivate your personality, and the psychologist on this path helps and guides you, rather than decides and thinks for you!
There are also negative cases in psychology. Sometimes people come to heal wounds after one psychologist to another. A psychologist is, in addition to a vocation, a profession, and as in any profession there are different people. Therefore, be attentive to the psychologist and to your feelings. If you feel some pressure from a psychologist and you disagree with something, declare this, if something is imposed on you that you do not want, if they get into your personal life, then think about changing a specialist. Now there are enough psychologists and you can find the right one for you!
After psychotherapy, you are as if you are being reborn. This is a wonderful feeling of inspiration and renewal of yourself! When you 100% accept your personality and live in harmony with yourself and the world around you. When you understand how and what functions around, when you see from what, what is happening, then you can change and influence your life!
