A psychologist is a professional who uses in his work modern methods obtained in the course of training, passing various advanced training courses and trainings, as well as his personal experience of communicating with clients. Its purpose is to help the client understand the situation and bring to the surface the cause of the formed behavior or state. With the help of special techniques to carry out work with him, which will help to change his attitude to the problem and his behavior in the right direction.
What does a psychologist do
In the process of work, the psychologist is faced with the task of helping the client identify currently significant blocked needs and goals and accompany him on the path of change so that the person can feel support and comfort. Psychotherapy can accelerate the process of natural development - what a person has been going for years can be achieved much faster. Approaching the solution of problems and taking into account the personal characteristics of a person, the psychologist and the client find ways out of the current situation.
A competent psychologist is able to give the client the opportunity to realize and understand, first of all, himself and who he really is. Understand the world around him, find the reasons that prevent him from being happy, rich, healthy. Not a single specialist in the field of psychology gives advice to his clients, because many simply do not understand and do not realize how important responsibility is in a person's life. Such people come in the hope that a decision will be made for them and that they will tell you how to act in a difficult situation for them.
When they receive advice, they shift responsibility to others. A psychologist helps a person to find the right directions and a way out of a particular situation himself, to realize responsibility and learn to take it upon himself. Not all clients come to a psychologist to solve their problems. There are people who like to complain about their fate, not wanting to change anything in themselves and their lives. But if a person does not have a desire to change something, he will not get the result and will be dissatisfied with a meeting at which he did not receive sympathy.
Fears on the way to a psychologist
Many are afraid during a psychotherapy session to lose control of themselves or to become a victim of suggestion and deception. Specialists of all directions in psychology are united by the "moral code of a psychologist", where the main idea is not to harm your client. They strive not to disturb the inner world of a person, to maintain the balance and balance of processes in it. The value of psychotherapy lies in helping a person to adapt to each specific situation.
All psychologists undergo professional training and specialization courses, currently there are many areas: psychoanalysis, Gestalt approach, body-oriented psychotherapy, art therapy, cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy, humanistic. What exactly to choose from these areas for effective work with a client - only a specialist knows.
