people who come to ask for help with answers
When people walk into the consultation room, they are often in some kind of pain or low point. They urgently expect the psychological counselor to tell themselves the answer, but at that time they did not know that they were the experts in their lives. They have the answer, but they don’t know it.
"Psychological counseling is a professional helping process conducted by professionals based on psychological theories." This is the definition of psychological counseling in textbooks.
The meaning of professional helping others is that a counselor does not make choices or solves pain for others, but helps others increase their problem-solving ability and thus make choices.
And there is a fact that people don’t like very much is: “Although many people are seeking advice, few people benefit from it.”
Therefore, consultants have become the category of people who are the least good at making suggestions.
If you can’t get advice from the consultation, what can the consultation do?
can express, describe, and explore.
Sometimes the problem does not necessarily need to be solved, it just needs to be explored. During the exploration process, the answer will slowly emerge.
