See the life of a counselor

what! In the past few days, I watched ten episodes of In treatment, which were about psychological counseling. Although it has been at least three years since Laohe recommended this drama, it is only now that I really start to feel that this drama is very exciting!

The last time I tried watching this show was probably several years ago. After opening it, I just felt bored and disillusioned. Exactly the same consulting room set, like a sitcom setup, but it doesn't make the audience laugh at all, and there's no acting. Counselor and client, one question and one answer, sometimes full of conflicting emotions. Moreover, the consultant did not come down like a magic weapon to save the visitor from water and fire as I imagined at the time. So after three hard episodes, I turned to other dramas that were more to my liking at the time.

After I opened it again the night before, although I was very tired, I was still engrossed in watching four or five episodes in a row. On the one hand, I feel that the counselor recognizes the truth between the client's heavy defenses, resistance, inconsistencies, attacks, and a few honesty, and helps the client see and accept the truth. It's like a silent mental duel, which is wonderful. On the one hand, I noticed that there are only two people's dialogues in each episode of this show. The close-up camera switches back and forth between the two people. The lines are dense, and the actor's skills are extremely demanding, and these actors who played the visiting actors later became other dramas. Big coffee.

In these episodes, there are different dilemmas faced by counselors: erotic empathy, aggression (very common), demeaning. At the end of the week, weary counselors turn to supervisors for help. Seeing the protagonist who is calm and calm in his own consultation room, in front of the supervisor, expresses some common and even despicable emotions in his heart like a bean, if it is for a person who has not broken his fantasy, it is simply unacceptable. Looking at a counselor who is ignorant of other people's problems, but ignorant of his own problems, like a savage child, I have a deeper understanding of how difficult it is for human beings to see themselves. In addition, it also made me understand more that consultants and doctors are doing things that are difficult for human beings to do, such as saving patients from diseases, such as pulling visitors out of the quagmire constructed by self-experience, not to mention How hard it is to work when the other side is still fighting this kind of rescue.

Returning to the individual, I once again sighed that being honest with myself is definitely the best virtue for individual mental development. When faced with a problem, one can overcome the sense of shame, damaged self-esteem, and sense of failure that block in front of one's own mind, and face the facts and one's own feelings honestly, instead of shirking responsibility with the various defensive methods that one has always adopted to attack others. , facing the possibility of "maybe I'm doing it the wrong way", and tolerating the pain that will accompany that moment, when this moment is achieved, the person has actually grown and changed.
