1. Qualification: To engage in psychological counseling, you must obtain the qualification certificate of national psychological counselor. The second-level psychological counselor is the most advanced at present. Having the qualification of national psychological counselor may not be able to engage in psychological counseling, but it is necessary to have this qualification to engage in psychological counseling.
2. Hypnotherapy: Hypnotherapy has been applied in the United States and other western countries and Taiwan Province Province of China for hundreds of years, and it has been proved to be the most direct, thorough, rapid and effective psychotherapy method. At present, only a few psychological counselors in China know about hypnotherapy. It can be said that a good psychological counselor can only be counted if he really understands hypnotherapy.
3. Full-time or not: Psychological counseling is a highly professional job, with high comprehensive quality requirements. It requires great care to do it well, and full-time work can truly be devoted and dedicated.
Psychological counseling is an industry that is automatically eliminated. Counselors with poor counseling results will quit automatically because they can't stand it. In schools and hospitals, you may be able to fill in the blanks, but in professional psychological counseling institutions, to take psychological counseling as the only profession, you must rely on absolute strength.
4. Intuitive feeling: An excellent psychological counselor will make you feel safe, trusting, warm, professional and powerful in the interview process. On the contrary, if during the interview, the counselor makes you feel uncomfortable, such as depression, irritability and disgust (of course, you should distinguish whether this uncomfortable feeling comes from the counselor or yourself), then you may need to find another counselor.
Human intuition is very important. Basically, you can trust your intuition. Therefore, before the formal consultation, you can get to know the psychological counselor first, or talk on the phone, and then start the consultation when you find the feeling.
5. Can't "take people by price": The fees for psychological counseling are different, and they are all set by the consulting organization or consultant. There is no uniform standard, so the charging standard does not represent the consulting effect.
Because of the confidentiality principle of psychological counseling, it is difficult for psychological counseling industry to publicize it to the outside world. Even the best counseling effect is basically known only to cases and counselors, and it cannot be said, and cases are generally reluctant to say. So it may be difficult for you to hear people say that a consultant's consultation effect is very good. Some people come into contact with some "psychologists" from the media and think that he has studied human psychology, which makes sense and is admirable. But in fact, those who are good at research, analysis and telling the truth are often unable to do psychotherapy.
7. Counseling scope of psychological counselors: Psychological counseling can't be ignored. Generally, only when the scope of consultation is determined can you dare to speak out. For example, a psychological counselor who is not sure about the treatment of fear will feel afraid when facing the case of fear, so the psychological counselor will never dare to accept the case beyond his ability easily. Many psychological counselors will say that they are good at a certain field, but in fact, they are only good at a certain field, which means that they are still very limited, because people's psychological problems cannot be classified like physical diseases. For example, marriage problems are likely to be complex psychological problems, not just marital relations. Many cases that seem to be some problems are actually very complicated.
In China, there are many Chinese medicine practitioners who can treat colds and headaches, but there are very few good Chinese medicine practitioners who can really treat people as a whole, understand the patient's physical condition through looking, smelling, asking and earnestly finding out the root cause of the disease, and prescribe the right medicine.
A good psychologist should, like a good Chinese medicine practitioner, use the best heart medicine to cure a case of heart disease in the least time.
Question 2: How can I find a good psychological counselor? Choosing a psychological counselor (consulting agency) can be weighed from the following aspects:
1. Has the consultant received long-term systematic theoretical study and clinical training?
Psychological counselors need to receive professional training, have systematic training experience in a certain genre as much as possible, and focus on the research of a certain genre, which often reflects the counselor's own understanding and thinking about the profession. Anyone who wants to be a consultant at home and abroad must receive long-term systematic theoretical study and clinical training. Some countries even stipulate that psychologists need to be visitors to apply for a psychiatrist's license. Many psychologists in China also go through this process, which is the specialization of psychologists.
2. The consultant's own experience.
General indicators are working years and consulting hours. Working years are not just numbers. Many consultants start to calculate their working years from the time they get the certificate, but the actual time to start practicing is much delayed. The consultation time is basically reported by the consultant himself, and the authenticity is difficult to verify, so it needs to be considered in combination with other information. Education can also be counted as part of the experience. Clinical psychology education has high reference value, not psychological education.
3. Counselors' personal qualities
Consultants need to be modest and confident, but not blindly confident, in order to work with visitors. The process of consultation is to help visitors see their limitations and find resources. It is up to the visitors to decide whether to break through and develop those limitations. In other words, the consulting relationship makes people feel equal, safe and warm.
4. Advisory bodies
It is difficult to say that there are clear standards when investigating the professionalism and regularity of institutions. What I can think of is that there are professional settings and industry experts working in them. Generally speaking, professional organizations are very cautious when choosing consultants, and it is very likely to find reliable consultants.
Question 3: How can I find a good psychological counselor? First of all, you should see if he is from an ordinary class. Psychological counseling is a long-term and systematic process, and you must have systematic and reasonable theoretical study and clinical training experience to be competent. Therefore, you should first look at the resume of the counselor, whether you are studying in a regular class or not, and whether you have the qualification certificate of the counselor.
Second, this counselor can make you feel accepted and understood. It is important for consultants to match themselves. Sometimes consultants are very powerful, but if they are not suitable for themselves, they will not make much progress. Therefore, you must choose your favorite consultant.
Third, does the counselor have the patience to listen to you? If he doesn't know the visitors well, he will intervene immediately. It's risky. Therefore, psychological counselors must have a lot of knowledge about help seekers in order to help visitors. If he doesn't know enough, intervention is not a good psychological counselor.
Question 4: Where can I find many psychological counselors? Ed has a professional counselor, you can go and have a look.
Question 5: I want psychological counseling. Where can I find it? Nowadays, psychological counseling is mixed, many of which are not standardized and professional (some women who cheat on their husbands also cheat). There are mental health centers (even mental hospitals) in all regions, but they are relatively formal. Of course, the effect is limited. You can also find a psychological clinic or psychologist directly online, but it is best to check the business qualifications first (the consulting organization does not need a doctor's qualification certificate, which is managed by the industrial and commercial bureau), and then pay for the doctor's qualification certificate and psychological counselor's certificate.
Question 6: How to judge whether to find a counselor or a psychologist? You know something about your situation, but you don't know what different treatments and benefits it will bring to your situation. You want to choose a more cost-effective one.
Judging from your question, you have different meanings to counselors and psychologists. So I guess, your views on consultants are more based on suggestions and analysis; Psychologists mainly focus on diagnosis and drug treatment. I don't know if it is.
As far as I know, if you have uncontrollable emotions such as hallucinations, obvious physical symptoms, behaviors that hurt yourself or others, depression and mania, you'd better consider going to the hospital. When necessary, in addition to diagnosis and medication, the hospital will also recommend psychological counseling. If it's a situation that bothers you and is based on facts, and neither you nor the people around you can help solve it, you can consider looking for a professional psychological counselor. )
Question 7: If you want to find some good psychological counselors, it is generally better to recommend them through friends. The reputation of a counselor is very important. If it is serious, go to the psychology department of a large general hospital for diagnosis and treatment. If it's not serious, it's best to find a psychological counselor and find a psychologist to teach, and you don't need to take medicine.
Question 8: Where can I find an online counselor with a score of 50? It's caused by recent work pressure or your psychology. It is suggested to relax, even if you are busy with your work, you should keep a regular life, chat with your family more, leave yourself more time to relax, and stick to it every day, which will naturally solve your psychological problems.
