Can a counselor get mental illness? Why 20

Counselors can also get mental illness. Because the counselor is the counselor's dustbin, it needs to be dumped and emptied in time, otherwise you will get mental illness.

I saw two of them saying they wouldn't get sick.

It's too backward. First of all, psychological counselor is a profession, and the profession will not get sick, but it is people who do it, and everyone will get sick.

You will get sick, and this disease does not distinguish between physical and psychological. It's like a doctor getting sick.

What's the difference, refer to the doctor and the disease.

At the same time, on the spiritual level, people who may have experienced it have an advantage in doing this business, which is different from doctors and diseases.

No, the counselor will self-regulate and will not let himself get sick.!

There will be no problem, because he is a very expert himself, so it will not affect others.

You ask yourself if a person who has had a mental illness (or psychological trauma or psychological distress) (who has had many setbacks in the process of growing up, not so smoothly, and has not been treated well many times, since the age of 5, his parents are not around, he has been raised by his stepmother, and he has suffered a lot of setbacks and traumas) can become a psychological counselor? ?First of all, I would like to express my distress to you about the unfortunate experience of your childhood, and the fact that you have been able to survive these setbacks and traumas makes me feel your tenacious vitality.

It is a good idea for the subject to become a psychological counselor and a helper now. You ask: Can a person who has a mental illness become a counselor?

Mine is as follows. 1.The first step is to define the severity of the psychological problem.

Psychological states can be divided into two categories: psychologically normal and psychologically abnormal. Psychologically normal can be divided into mental health and unhealth; Psychological abnormalities include neurosis, affective disorders, and mental disorders. It is impossible for a person to be in a state of full mental health all the time, it is a fluctuating tremor, just like a person's electrocardiogram.

2.Has the mental illness mentioned by the subject been diagnosed by a psychiatric professional? If you just describe setbacks and unhappiness in your growth, you can become a psychological counselor through personal self-growth and learn professional psychological counseling knowledge and skills.

Your upbringing can also be an asset in counselling and you can use these experiences to better help your clients. In fact, many well-known psychologists or counselors have had psychological problems. For example, Adler, the author of "Inferiority and Transcendence", used to be very inferior, and he used his experience to help thousands of people.

3.Even people with psychological abnormalities can still work and live normally by actively relieving or controlling the development of the disease, and they can still do a lot of things. ?

Thanks for sharing the question, good luck! , the world and I love you!

Hello, I'm Chen Gui, a psychological counselor. I thought it was interesting to see your question and wanted to talk to you about it. Because your description is limited, I'm not sure how much you know about psychology and counseling.

From the perspective of career counseling, a person's choice of a career depends not only on whether personal characteristics match the professional conditions, but also on the degree of willingness and motivation of the person. In other words, the past experiences you describe are only one aspect of personal trait factors, and the personal trait factors that influence career choice include: intelligence, skills, achievement motivation, responsibility, self-esteem, decision-making ability, career maturity, personality traits, and so on.

Therefore, whether you can become a counselor is not only determined by your past experience, but also depends on whether these other factors of personal characteristics match, as well as how strong your personal interests, personal wishes and motivations are. In addition, if you are interested, you can check out the book "History of Modern Psychology", which introduces some famous psychologists in the history of psychology, some of whom had a bad early life and some suffered from mental illness in their lives. For example:

One of the earliest psychologists who made outstanding contributions to experimental psychology - Fechner, he began to study medicine at the age of 16, began to lecture in universities at the age of 23 and engaged in experimental research, obtained the title of university professor at the age of 32 and also suffered from depression, and was ill for 12 years, and at the age of 49 he pioneered the study of psychophysics; Another example: Wundt, the father of modern psychology, was a bit lonely in his childhood, had a bad relationship with his father, failed in the first year of college preparation, could not get along with his classmates, and was ridiculed by his old teachers, but these did not affect his later creation of the discipline of psychology; Also, the founder of the behaviorist school - Watson, his father was an alcoholic, often beat people when drunk, and had extramarital affairs, when Watson was 13 years old, his father eloped with another woman and never came back, in Watson's life, he has always resented his father, he was a "problem teenager" in his youth and youth, lazy, quarrelsome, fighting, and had **, and these did not affect him to become the founder of the behaviorist school later; Then there are the two psychologists who separated from the psychoanalytic school, Jung and Adler, who also had mental illness or early bad experiences, and their stories have been widely circulated. Therefore, depending on how you look at and understand the past experience, it can become a "stumbling block" that hinders us, or it can become a "stepping stone" to help us.

If you see them as "problems," then they are a problem, and if you see them as valuable lessons for yourself, they have the potential to be a resource for your personal growth. I hope to give you some reference for the above information. Finally, we wish you success!

You have to trust a counselor. He can help you with all kinds of psychological problems. As long as you have psychological problems, you should consult them, go through all stages of life smoothly, seek to give full play to your abilities and seek a good quality of life.

Because some of the psychological counselors are unreliable.

That's why a lot of people don't trust counselors.
