A psychologist is a living person who cannot know everything, even if he knows something. We study other people's lives every day. This is precisely the practice that is much more important than theory. You become a psychologist in a practical way when you observe people, give recommendations, analyze. But this does not mean at all that you can and should give yourself recommendations, even knowing what you would recommend to another person in such a situation.
Just because “right” is, like “happiness,” very subjective and individual
Why go to a psychologist, because you can just pour out your soul to a friend?
Many people think so. Yes, a friend, of course, will listen and support. And you are very lucky if you have someone whom you would call a true friend. But it is difficult for a friend to be objective with you - you are friends. The psychologist is neutral towards you, it is easy for him to look at the situation from the outside. Secondly, a professional has a broader outlook in the field of human behavior, scientific and practical knowledge about the patterns of occurrence, manifestation and forms of occurrence of problem situations, possible ways of correction. All this allows him to better understand your situation and outline ways out of the problem.
The psychologist represents all the complexity of a human being and understands that one cannot judge the sea, focusing only on what is happening on its surface. The underwater world has a lot to say about the life of the sea. And depth is a constant subject of the professional activity of a psychologist. Psychologists use their knowledge to more accurately understand the laws of human existence, and not at all to expose some carefully disguised features.
Some people are intimidated by the prefix "psi" in the word "psychology"
The idea of this science in their minds is closely intertwined with the words "psycho", "psychiatric hospital", "psychiatry". The opinion that psychology deals only with mental disorders, that its goal is to find them in everyone who seeks help, is very tenacious. Translated from Greek "psyche" means "soul". Psychology, i.e. the science of the soul exists for self-knowledge. Only by understanding your soul, you can understand all the complexity, all the originality and uniqueness of other people and accept them.
Psychologists are sometimes associated with magicians and sorcerers.
If you expect that someone can change your life without your participation, by concluding an agreement with some powerful forces, then you are mistaken. Change yourself and you will see how the world has changed. The task of the psychologist is to help you rebuild your life. But you will build it yourself. And the psychologist can show you where to go, but you have to go.
Only weaklings turn to psychologists
Quite the opposite: One of the hallmarks of mental health is the ability to seek help. Psychotherapy creates unique, unrepeatable conditions for personal change and problem solving. This is not only about getting out of severe crisis situations, but, for example, simply about improving the quality of life or developing skills to cope with life situations.
