The profession of psychologist is not unfamiliar to me, because the place where I work has set up mental health departments, and there are more than one department, and there are many patients.
Due to work needs, I have more contact and communication with medical staff engaged in mental health care work and medical staff engaged in Jingwei.
I admire the medical staff who can work in the subject of mental health. The pressure and occupational risks they are under much higher than that of the staff in the general discipline.
What kind of life story does a psychiatrist have? How did they live? How did they embark on this path? I'm very curious! Until I read the book "The Life Story of a Psychologist", I gained a lot of understanding and understanding of the career path of a psychologist.
This book tells me through the narration of 22 psychologists, which allows me to understand how they become a better person in the process of becoming an excellent psychologist.
book says: "It is not an accidental move to become a psychologist. Most people have special and secret personal motivations. This profession is fascinating, but it is not a smooth road."
How did they become psychologists? After reading this book, through the self-reports of these 22 psychologists, they can be roughly classified into the following three reasons.
1. Career love
If you want to choose an ideal career, it is inseparable from your likes. Only by liking, you can love and devote more passion and energy to the career you like.
This is how the famous psychologist, psychiatrist and best-selling author Christoph Andre is the person who embarked on the path of psychologist.
When he was in his third year of high school, he studied books on psychoanalysis , and became very interested in psychology and was deeply fascinated by psychoanalysis theory . When he was taking the college entrance examination, he applied for the medical major without hesitation, and after graduation he chose to be a psychiatrist without hesitation.
2. Family changes
Yasmin Lienal said: "I once had painful times of deep despair. During those days, I accompanied philosophy and poetry to seek inner peace. I began to try to piece together my broken self and integrate the opposite parts of myself: joy and sorrow Injury, acceptance and harshness, my profession has become a sewing thread that repairs and condenses. "
Yasmin Lienal's parents divorced when he was two years old and suffered personal abuse from adults in his childhood. These painful experiences laid a sense of guilt and shame in his heart. In order to save himself and gain spiritual redemption, he chose to major in psychiatry and be a psychiatry doctor. While he healing patients, he also healed himself and became a better self.
3. Self-awakening
Sophie Sheval has been a good student since he was a child. When taking the college entrance examination, she followed her family's advice, chose a major with good employment and promising, and worked in an elite school after graduation.
But during the work process, she found that she didn't like this profession, and her heart began to awaken and she made it clear that psychology was the major she liked. With her efforts, she finally changed her career to become a psychologist after nine years of work.
Sophie Sheval said: "Helping others build the life they want occupies an irreplaceable position in my heart."
After becoming a psychiatrist, she wrote books, trained, taught classes, and held lectures, just to use her own value to influence others and build a life that truly satisfies herself.
William James, the father of American psychology, once said about the profession of psychologists: "Our faith is a belief in the belief of others."
Psychologists understand those who cannot understand themselves and cannot live normally because they are too fragile to help them make decisions. They are guides and lanternists for this particular group.
After reading this book, I also reminded me of my colleagues. When they were treating and consulting these patients, they also suffered sudden personal attacks and endured great psychological pressure. But they still remain unchanged in their ambitions, stick to their original intentions, and use their superb medical skills to cure patients.
Salute to the psychologist!
