We often see Jiang Yang thief taking a stethoscope to pry the lock of the bank vault in the movie. Two "clicks" means that the task is done.
My career is also like this.
If you stay in the world for a long time, you will feel a sense of fatigue, just like the " Sisyphus " in the ancient Greek myth. Every day, with a heavy body, life is slowly consumed in such an ineffective and hopeless work.And when I was 30, I had this experience, feeling confused and panicked.
by chance, I came into contact with psychology and felt its huge vortex attraction more and more. Gradually I understood why it attracted me, because the four words "help others heal themselves".
I am an introverted person. To me, real and pure dialogue is like oxygen. I can't stand those routine conversations, and I can't stand those nonsense chatter. When I am in the lively crowd, I feel more like going to jail.
What I long for is the resonance and tremor of the soul.
so, I bought a lot of psychological books, took a lot of exams, bought a lot of training classes, and also fell into a lot of pitfalls during this period.
Fortunately, I have good teachers and friends around me, and helped me get on the shore successfully~
wrote this article today, and I also want to share with you my growth experience, hoping it will be useful to you!
First tell you a cruel fact. If you are a non-professional and zero-foundation student, if you want to enter the psychological counseling industry through the examination, the possibility is basically 0!
If you want to be a psychological counselor, you must go through three stages: learning basic knowledge, improving professional skills and internship experience. This is how I came through step by step to become a psychological counselor. So students who really want to enter the industry should be prepared for long-term study.
Solid basic skills: How do I learn basic knowledge?
I am not a psychology major, but I have always wanted to be a psychological counselor. At first I saw many people saying that they could take the exam if they wanted to enter the industry, so I excitedly went to buy books and attend classes, and got the certificate issued by the Zhejiang Psychological Industry Association.
However, when I was looking for a job with a certificate, I was hit by a wall everywhere. When I was asked about my professional knowledge, my mind was blank. I had no contact with individual cases or supervisors before. Only then did I realize that what I learned from is just the basics!
Later, I read a lot of information online to learn more theories, such as general psychology, Eriksen personality development psychology, etc., but none of them are systematic.
Later, after being recommended by a friend, I participated in the training of novice consultant in the Psychological Industry Association and the training of crisis intervention . Through the teachings of Professor Xu Yi and Professor Hu Jianbo, a systematic thinking of psychological counseling has gradually been formed.
So, I think psychology is a very profound science. students who are not professional and have no foundation should not lose themselves in the scattered books. If you want to enter the industry, it is best to have professional people help you sort out your knowledge.
Professional capability improvement: How do I enhance my practical experience?
I really thank my teachers here for the first time. I have seen what psychological counseling is and has also increased my personal experience.
explains what personal experience is: it means you have to experience consultation. You know what consultation is, how consultation helps you and build a complete psychological world.
In addition to teaching me systematic knowledge, the teacher also took me to complete the training of consulting technology, including basic intervention training, how to listen to people, how to extract information, how to feedback and interfere with others, how to empathize with , and including the ethics of psychology. It's really a gift.
strongly recommend that you learn with my teacher! teaches you practical knowledge and enter the psychological counseling industry.
Do a case, supervise, officially enter the industry psychological counseling
I want to tell you that in addition to learning the above knowledge, you also need to have an internship experience, you have to see and visit, and supervise each case. After seeing you, I came to see the supervisor, what did I do? Why do I do this? What did the visitor mention, and how did he do?
After a complete set of practical practice, we can gradually improve our professional abilities and receive visitors independently.
At that time, I had 30 case studies, 20 supervisions, 10 team supervisions, and 10 peer supervisions, which greatly improved my professional practical ability.
Generally speaking, the learning of psychology is the growth process of the combined knowledge practice and personal perception. If you want to truly enter the industry, you must complete these three parts.
