How psychologists treat neurotic patients

First of all, neurosis is mainly divided into generalized anxiety disorder, phobias, panic disorder, neurasthenia, and somatoform disorder.

Psychological counselors also specialize in technology, and the most common methods are psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and human-existential.

In the case of generalized anxiety disorder, there are two main types: medication and cognitive behavior. The effect of anti-anxiety and depressant drugs **GAD is relatively less good than that of psychological**. Cognitive-behavior** is somewhat similar to the reconstruction of the entire cognitive structure, and the counselor reconstructs the psychological structure by correcting the patient's exaggerated and dangerous negative cognition, changing the patient's behavior and reducing the pain.

However, the improvement rate is only about 50%.

Phobias are mainly treated with drugs and behaviors.

Let's focus on behavior.

There are three main methods:

System desensitization**. People rank things that make them fearful. The counselor first gives the patient relaxation exercises and allows the patient to gradually relax his muscles.

Then, according to the previously established fear level, start with the things that the patient is least afraid of, let him imagine, and then use relaxation training to relax him. This step-by-step guide will help the patient overcome what scares him the most.

Exposure**. By forcing the patient to face a situation that frightens him, the patient realizes that the danger he imagined does not exist, and the phobia subsides.

Imitate. Have the patient** a person who is not suffering from a phobia react normally when confronted with something that the patient thinks is dangerous. For example, a person who is afraid of snakes asks him to repeatedly ** a patient who has no phobia to slowly approach and pet a snake.

When the patient learns that snakes are not dangerous, the fear gradually subsides.

Then there is panic disorder, and the main mode is panic control.

**Neurasthenia mainly uses relaxation training and Morita**.

The length of time required for different psychological methods varies, and the techniques are also different, and there are difficulties in detail.

No. In the acute phase of psychosis, psychological counselors are not able to provide counseling services, they need to take medication for them**, and they can only provide psychological counseling after they have regained their self-awareness. Counseling can help people with the following:

build new relationships; recognize internal conflicts; correcting misconceptions; Deepen the self-awareness of help-seekers; learn to face reality; increase mental freedom; Help those who seek help to take new and effective actions.

Psychological counseling, also known as psychological, is wrong.

Counseling refers to the process of using psychological methods to provide psychological assistance to clients who have problems with psychological adjustment and seek to solve them. A person who needs to solve a problem and comes to ask for help is called a client or counselor, and a counselor who provides help is called a counselor.

With the support and help of the client, the client can find out the cause of the psychological problem through common discussion, analyze the crux of the problem, and then seek the conditions and countermeasures to get rid of the predicament and solve the problem.

In order to restore mental balance, improve adaptability to the environment, and improve physical and mental health. The interpretation of psychological counseling can be divided into broad and narrow senses. Psychological counseling in a broad sense includes psychological counseling and psychological **, and sometimes psychological examinations and psychological tests are also included in the scope of psychological counseling.

Psychological counseling in the narrow sense does not include psychological **, psychological examination, and psychological testing, and is limited to the provision of psychological assistance and counseling assistance to clients by means of interviews, letters, the Internet, and **.

Regarding the relationship between psychological counseling and psychology, Chen Zhonggeng believes that there is no essential difference between the two, and they are similar in the nature of the relationship, in the process of change and learning, and in the theory of guidance. If there is a difference, it is also artificial and non-essential.

Mental suffering** is a state of mind in which the mind breaks down or suffers from mental exhaustion. Mental atrophy originates from a subjective sense of impotence, that is, the inability to cope with problems that he and those around him feel he can handle. The specific performance is as follows:

Losing confidence in oneself not only loses the ability to control the external environment, but also loses the ability to control one's own emotions and thinking. These people, in the midst of a series of failures, feel guilt, self-blame, and shame. These people often feel alienated and isolated, and at the same time angry, because the people he feels should help him seem unable or unwilling to help him.

Alienation from relationships with others has led him to lose his appreciation for the value of the group and his belief in others, which has made him feel worth and feel safe. Despite this, the mental world of the mentally atrophied person is limited in time and space, and he becomes self-focused, unable to see the long-term goal, and always fears the next failure. His dominant mood mood is usually anxiety and depression, which can vary in severity – from mild worry to panic, from mild depression to despair.

The difference between psychological counseling and psychological **. The target of the consultation is a normal person. Their difficulties are mainly real-life adaptation and development problems, among which solving developmental problems is a characteristic of counseling.

The object of psychological ** is mainly to sentence people with more serious psychological disorders. Examples include the presence of personality disorders, neuroses, and mood disorders.

Psychological counseling is mainly focused on overcoming and eliminating various mental symptoms and psychosomatic symptoms; Psychological counseling is mainly educational, and it mainly helps clients to clarify their understanding and make decisions. Psychology often involves the transformation of in-depth psychological quality and behavior, and attaches importance to improving the patient's personality; Counselling focuses on helping clients gain information, learn new adjustment skills, and solve all life problems. Therefore, in terms of methodology, counseling tends to be supportive, comprehending, and re-educating methods; **Rely more on correction, comprehension, training, and reconstruction methods.

There is a traditional rule in the field of counseling that counsellors should avoid counseling close friends, family members, or other close associates. This is because this relationship may hinder the objectivity of the consultant's judgment of the problem and the impartiality of the problem.

The counselor should remember a warning: the wrong ** is better than not treating Huai Travel Therapy.

The core issue of counseling and psychological** is the client's psychological and behavioral changes or improvements. The counsellor encourages the client to recognize that his thoughts, behaviors, and emotions are ultimately under his own control, so that he or she is responsible for the change.
