While knitting, I thought of one text. And as a result, in two hours I knitted a couple of mitts, and in 15 minutes I wrote this text.

Top 5: why I do psychological counseling

  1. I enjoy every consultation.
  2. I get paid for it.
  3. I realize my potential and the maximum of my talents.
  4. I am growing thanks to every client.
  5. I can't help but do it.

Now I will write down each thesis.

Truth. It's a thrill. Because I see how a person comes in "heaviness" and leaves easily; or when the client's face was at first "stone" and sharp, and finally became alive.

Seeing the difference in bodily manifestation, hearing changes in the voice and being involved in this is my thrill. And all this is not at the level of "I am Great!.." - but: "thanks to the client for their trust."

The second is money.

One of the important skills that I gained in the process of learning the Gestalt approach is the ability to evaluate myself in monetary terms. I am sure that any work should be paid. And when a person pays a significant amount for a service or product, he treats it differently. Appreciates.

This is the value of myself. I consulted both for free and for large sums. And only when the price is really valuable to the client - then there is progress.

The third is self-realization.

You can't watch detective stories with me - I expose the criminal in the first part of the film (True Detective doesn't count, it's all the same about something else). I am attentive to details, manifestations and words - therefore I work effectively with bodily manifestations.

I am open-minded, intuitive and trusting.

I can listen. I'm interested in the person opposite me.

I know how to help, though sometimes I get carried away by doing good, but this is fixable.

The fourth is development.

There is no psychologist without clients. There is no professional without supervision and personal therapies. Otherwise, it is just a kitchen advisor, for whom it is more important to express their point of view than to hear another. I love both personal therapies and supervision - when I go to a specialist to work out the issues that have arisen and difficulties in working with clients. In them, I learn about my "white spots" and get a new perspective on therapeutic situations.

Fifth - not … not …

There was a period when I stopped consulting and thought it was forever. But one day a friend asked: why don't you consult? And I cried. Then this question began to be repeated.

I remember walking along the snowy streets in April 2014 and crying. I mourned my belief in self-deception. Self-deception that I can not advise. But I can not. This is mine - and I should admit it to myself.
