Individual psychological work is a long-term joint work of a psychologist and a client, which is built on the basis of mutual understanding between two people, psychologist and client. At the same time, the main instrument of influence is the psychologist and the relationship between the psychologist and the client. What is individual psychological work? Psychotherapy is not the treatment of a patient, not advice or a recipe for happiness, not the transfer of wise knowledge, not the strong shoulder of a pitying friend, not pointing out mistakes, not a new faith. Psychotherapy is not about what you think, it is about how you think. Psychotherapy focuses on the differences between what you think and how you think. Psychotherapy helps to see the essence. How you are structured, how you feel, how you think, how you live. Psychotherapy helps you understand what you really want, what your needs are, what your desires are. Psychotherapy gives you a chance to learn how to satisfy these needs, achieve what you want, and get what you want. A psychologist is not a magician or wizard; he does not solve your problems. He helps you deal with problems, understand how the problems you find yourself in are created. Helps you find resources to cope with difficulties, helps you find your path, and he himself is only a sensitive and attentive guide in your work. Why do you need a psychologist? There are situations in life when a person seems to be at a dead end and his problem cannot be solved. They turn to a psychologist for help if they really want to solve a problem, get out of a situation, or change something in their life. Don’t “cry into your vest” to your loved one, don’t get advice from a “smarter” person, but realize, clearly understand what is important, what is needed in your life and why, and achieve what you want. Quite healthy, “normal” people come to see a psychologist . Those who want to better understand themselves and their relationships with people around them. Those who strive to get out of a difficult situation or go through the difficulties of everyday life in a less painful way. People who have and want to solve psychological problems come for consultation, such as: How to survive the death of a loved one; How to live with a serious illness, disability; How to survive divorce, separation, betrayal; Midlife crisis; Family conflicts; The problem of the meaning of life; The problem of loneliness ;Addictions: alcohol, drugs, nicotine; Dependence on an ex; Fear of death or illness; Dissatisfaction with oneself, life, marriage, work; Eating disorders. The most important thing here is the desire to solve psychological problems. The desire to change your life yourself, improve its quality, improve your emotional state. You should not seek the help of a psychologist if: You want to change those around you; You are not ready to change something in yourself, try new experiences; You expect a “miracle” to happen after taking it; Do you want to get the “correct” answer to solving a problem; Are you waiting for smart advice on what to do?; You don’t want to put in the effort. How is the meeting going? As a rule, the meeting takes place in a closed office, one on one, sitting opposite each other in the form of a conversation at a comfortable time time for both. First, we get to know each other, determine the problem you are addressing, set a task to work on, and determine the duration of therapy. Then, the work itself takes place in the process of spontaneous dialogue. Sincerity on both sides is welcome. For his part, the psychologist is attentive and observant. The consultation lasts 50 minutes. How long will it take to solve the problem? It is difficult to answer this question unambiguously. The duration of psychotherapy is individual and depends on the depth of the task. Sometimes, 5-10 meetings are enough to solve a specific problem. But as a rule, working with a psychologist is long-term, since the problem with which one turns to a psychologist did not arise in a couple of days and affects deep-seated experiences. In any case, it is the client himself who determines whether the result of therapy satisfies him. The frequency of meetings is usually accepted once a week for 50 minutes, this has been verified based on the long-term experience of psychologists and: 8 (911) 179-31-06
