The work of a psychologist: Interesting and Useful 647 Good afternoon, Dear Friends! And you and I continue to study the work of a psychologist and its various features, we continue to share our experience accumulated during practice and our I bring to your attention six hundred forty-seventh article in the series! Our client recently had big troubles in his life. And it’s not that he wouldn’t have any more problems and difficulties right now... But, right now, he shares with us some of his current successes, rejoices at his achievements. But we remember that he has problems... And we want to deal with them, we want to help him, and we return him to them. For example, a client tells us: “Well, I practically rose from the ashes, like a phoenix, I have many achievements now. It's like I'm flying. I’m much happier now...” The psychologist here might say this: “But it seems that worries about past failures are still alive in you. Are you sad sometimes? Do you feel guilty about what happened?” In this case, it is not the point why the psychologist says these specific words. It is important to understand here that it is not worth doing this. If the client is happy, you should not try to look for problems. Here we take it into our own topic. And we don’t let him live out his specific feelings that he is currently experiencing, that is, joy. And the question may also arise for the therapist here and for himself regarding how he can be present at the joy of another, why he wants to take him away from it. From what thoughts and feelings can a psychologist do this? Worried that he won’t do anything useful for the client if he doesn’t talk to the client about his problems, doesn’t help him understand them? But he's already helping. The client shares his feelings with him. It is important to let him live them. Yes, and in general, as you remember, therapy is not necessarily aimed at solving problems. In therapy, you can simply think about how to make your life better. We can understand what opportunities we have, what potential we have. And so on. In the above case of working with a client, of course, it may be that he can and should be returned to his problem. But only if he does not admit their presence, but only always goes into the positive, through it he is protected from difficult feelings, from recognizing his reality. If a client admits his problems, then it’s not worth taking him away from joy when he has joy. Do you also want to share something? Please write below in the comments!
