Why should he decide to go to a psychologist, and not go complain to a friend, drink at a bar, or consult with his mother? A friend or mother, unless, of course, they are psychologists, will advise what to do. These tips will be imposed and, most likely, incorrect, because they are based on other people's experience. And we're talking about your life. Drinking in a bar is also prohibited. Poor health, headache... And most importantly, all this does not solve the problem. There are two worlds - the well-known external world and the rich, but almost unfamiliar internal world, which has its own laws. And if a problem arises in the outside world - a shelf breaks - we know how to solve it - we take nails, a hammer and nail it in place. But if experiences arise in the inner world, a person is not always able to cope with them on his own. This is not something external – it’s not about hammering in a nail, but since the problem is inside, then the solution must be sought there. A psychologist is a guide through a person’s inner world.

But by and large, there is a large market for psychology services, where you can behave like an adequate, thoughtful consumer - choose, compare, ask questions: what problems does the specialist deal with, what method does he use, does he like his work. If a psychologist is at peace with himself, if he looks happy and radiates joy, it is likely that he will help you find your inner happiness. This is the case when a shoemaker should wear boots. “Mental first aid” and “soul hygiene”. How to determine whether a person needs to see a psychologist? There is emergency psychological help. It is necessary when a serious mental problem arises (stress, shock, depression, discord in relationships). If you feel that you cannot cope on your own; if some negative state returns over and over again: you are not in the mood, you don’t want anything, you are shaking, you are nervous, you are overwhelmed with emotions, you need “first mental help.” And there is psychological help, which can be called “soul hygiene.” Each of us has a desire to understand ourselves, learn to cope with our emotions, cultivate some quality in ourselves, or find joy in life. You can also come to a psychologist with this. A specialist will become an assistant in your spiritual and personal development. If you imagine a coordinate system, emergency psychology helps you get out of minus into plus, and personal development is the direction from plus to even greater plus.
