Why do you need a psychologist if you have a friend?⠀There are people who say: “I always share my difficulties with my friends or relatives, I ask them for advice. They are my psychologists."⠀Remember:❣ Your close friend or relative will express their subjective opinion based on their past experience. He will tell you his point of view, his opinion, his attitude towards this situation. This will not help you listen to yourself and understand what you really want, how you want to solve this difficult task in your life in order to feel comfortable and happy.⠀❣ A loved one can accompany their advice with evaluative statements “you did wrong”, “you It’s your own fault, “you’re the one who’s stupid.” Or he will simply say “forget it, because there is nothing terrible in this situation”, while for you your problem is incredibly difficult and practically unsolvable.⠀♥ So, unconsciously and deep down wanting to help you, a loved one can “harm” your condition is even stronger and you will get even more confused, or make the wrong choice that your friend would make, but not you yourself.⠀At that time, the psychologist, after listening to his client’s request:❣ Will help you listen to yourself and your emotional state.❣ Select special techniques/exercises/correctly posed questions. which will help YOU understand your feelings and emotions, your attitude to the situation.❣ Will help you identify the true (hidden, sometimes even unconscious) reason for your difficulties in life.❣ Will guide and help you find your own solution, your own way out of this problematic situation, which will right for YOU, thanks to which you will feel comfortable, confident and conscious. And most importantly:❌ NO ADVICE or imposed opinion❣ THE PSYCHOLOGIST GIVES RECOMMENDATIONS that are important and meaningful specifically for YOU and YOUR situation, helping you get out of the cocoon of misunderstanding and confusion into a healthy and happy life.⠀Have you consulted a psychologist?
