Sometimes a situation arises when it is necessary to consult a psychologist. Today there are many specialists working in this field. It is very important to find a really good psychologist who can effectively help solve the problems that have arisen.
If you are afraid of stumbling upon an amateur or a fraudster, pay attention to the education of a psychologist. Make an appointment with specialists who work in renowned psychological centers. When applying for a job in such organizations, the applicant is interviewed by an experienced psychologist. This makes it possible to exclude candidates with a low level of training already at the selection stage.
What to look for
Pay attention to the recommendations of friends. If your loved ones have successfully solved personal problems, you should ask them for the contact details of a specialist. The personal impression of the psychologist is very important. Talk to a specialist. Decide if you trust him. Do you like the psychologist's demeanor, voice and face? Do you have a feeling that this specialist can help you? Will you be able to talk to him about your personal problems? If you answered yes to these questions, then you can safely sign up for a course of therapy.
A good psychologist will not make recommendations. He will immediately say that he can only help you, and not solve all the problems for you. If you feel stiff during the first session, that's okay. During therapy, you may be angry with your therapist. And that's okay too. A psychologist may ask you a painful question. Tell the professional if you feel angry, angry with him. Don't sidetrack the conversation. Tell the professional that you find it difficult to talk about this topic.
Which psychologist is not worth dealing with
Leave a therapist if he starts flirting with you. Courtship, intentional touching should alert you. The specialist is obliged to follow certain rules. The psychologist takes payment for conducting the sessions. If the session is free, you may feel indebted. Such feelings will not help you get rid of complexes. The services of an experienced psychologist can be quite expensive. It is not recommended to save money. This is not the case.
The consultation can be stressful. A competent specialist knows this very well. The psychologist should not be distracted during the session, go out, make calls. A person does not have the right to be called a qualified specialist if he does not even listen to the client. If a psychologist gives categorical advice, then leave such a "specialist". It's up to you to decide what and how to do in your life. The psychologist must help you understand yourself. He has no right to indicate, to give categorical installations.
