Let's try to figure out why in difficult life situations it is better to turn to a psychologist, rather than regularly communicate with friends about their problems.
What is the psychologist doing?
First of all, the psychologist finds out the main request with which the client came. Often, a person himself cannot specifically formulate his problem. But this is important because the awareness of the problem is half of its decision. Like a friend, a psychologist also listens to a person, but at the same time he puts accents, the root of the problem is deducted, it is a search for hidden information that the client shows non-verbally. Despite the differences, the psychologist does not give advice, unlike friends. The task of a specialist is to open a person to a person to the problem, give a resource that will help him find solutions. The psychologist draws attention to the nuances who for any reason a person does not notice or does not want to notice.
The responsibility of the psychologist includes:
- diagnostics, which consists in measuring the level of development of certain qualities and human properties;
- assistance in adaptation difficulties of man;
- consultations on family, professional, personal problems;
- forecasting situations;
- psychocorrection measures to change the characterological qualities;
- Help in professional choices.
When should I contact a psychologist?
After a conversation with a friend or relative, many people seem to be solved. It happens because the internal stress is reduced. Lightweight is only temporary, since the problem does not receive its solution. Consider cases when you should not postpone the campaign to a specialist.
Violence:
- Be sure to contact a psychologist if a person faced violence. A person can be in the depressed or in too active. In any case, the likelihood that the person will get stuck in his condition, so it will be much more difficult to get rid of it.
Problems of children and parents:
- The relations of "fathers and children" are often significantly difficult. Parents consider themselves experienced and wise people, but cannot find the right approach to your own child, choose the methods of its upbringing and establish an emotional connection.
