How to make sense of a bunch of psychologists? Part 3 Are all methods useful? Higher education.. A person with a technical education who has completed 72 hours of online lectures is not included in my dictionary in the Specialty “Psychologist” and especially Psychotherapist / here I am categorical and do not discuss this topic / and so we will continue. There is a very neat line in the concept of “success” " and "personal" ... for example, any workaholic will convince you that work is when you get tired, you fall off your feet, and if you are not busy with such work, you are not lucky, any lazy person will convince you that a mess in his room is “creative disorder”, and a woman or a man without a relationship, foaming at the mouth, will convince those around him that this is their personal choice, it will be simpler, more comfortable and everyone will have jelly-concrete arguments... Therefore, I will designate the first point as “in opinion person." If a person tells you that everything is fine with him, he is successful in his personal life, then this is his right, his understanding of “success”, “luck”... And not what society and advertising portrays to us. like “father, mother, son, daughter, dog, everyone is smiling”... Humanitarian... from this moment the difference in the methods and tools that the Psychologist chooses begins... Some are close to analysis, others to training or coaching, others myth and drama, etc. It's like frying potatoes. The stove can be electric, gas, it can be just a fire... cast iron frying pan, Teflon, etc. It doesn’t matter who has what in their matrix, they start from that. In one of the articles I even mentioned Esotericism as a science, the knowledge of which is sometimes relied upon by specialists Psychologists, here are maps, drawings, Myths, and much more, the arsenal there is very large...I believe that if a Specialist knows each tool, it is appropriate. with the help of which the Client will receive the result for which he came, then this is good. What could be the catch or harm from certain methods? The point is who!! owns and applies one or another technique. As one of the parables says, “with the help of an ax you can build a Temple and kill a person... it depends on whose hands the ax is in..” And here it is important to return to the first pillar, the foundation... This is the “mental health” of the The psychologist, his adequacy, is precisely why it is advisable to forget the folk saying “A shoemaker without boots.” If your request is “withdrawal from binge drinking,” “family well-being,” etc. then for a psychologist this should not be an empty phrase. I respect colleagues who clearly know their “cons” and, excuse me, do not get involved in topics in which they are “not resourceful” and take clients because of their weakness (since there are no resources). A client will go to such grief for a colleague for years, and do you know how many such stories there are? And look at Instagram, VK, FB, it’s very revealing... and unfortunately, all you can do is observe it... and learn from other people’s mistakes. Conclusion! Choose very carefully who you will work with! In advertising we all write that we are good, that we are pumped up and each of us has thousands of hours of self-therapy, evaluate not only by word of mouth, sign up for a “trial conversation”, just talk on the phone... and remember... Responsibility for any The decision in the Psychologist's office is yours! For your money Thank you * Instagram belongs to Meta, which is recognized as an extremist organization in Russia.
