In the “client-psychologist” relationship, the result of the work depends on both. Each of them bears their half of the responsibility. What is the psychologist responsible for? Own qualifications and competence: knowledge and skills. Strategy for working with the client’s request: how we will work on the request. Methods of work that he chooses at each specific moment in time. Creating a psychological space of acceptance , in which the client will be safe and comfortable to reveal his thoughts and feelings, explore himself, experience emotions and work on himself. What is the client responsible for? Willingness to work on his request: follow the recommendations of the psychologist, complete tasks, apply new models of behavior in life.NB ! If you have doubts, fears, reluctance to do some exercise / task / follow some recommendation, discuss this with your psychologist - together you can figure out what scares you and, if necessary, change the course of work. Willingness to open up, be sincere (to her). The main and most reliable source of information about you for a psychologist is yourself. But your sincerity is important not only for the psychologist, but also for yourself - only by being honest with yourself can you consciously change your life.NB! Each person is ready to open up to another person, even a specialist, at his own speed. But it is necessary that you have such a desire. Therefore, it is very important to find a specialist in whom you feel trust and want to trust. Willingness to face your own painful feelings and emotions. You will have the support of a psychologist, but only you can experience these feelings. Readiness for change: in the course of working with a psychologist, your life will most likely change - some familiar things may go away, something new will come - It is important to be aware of this and be ready to accept change. What about the secret ingredient? I think it still exists. This is the special space of non-judgmental acceptance that a psychologist creates. A space where you can be sincere, vulnerable, express and experience “forbidden” feelings: anger, resentment, envy, pain – and receive support. Where you can explore and get to know your real self, your needs, desires, fears, dreams, values ​​and goals. But it won’t work if you don’t work.
