Psychology; It is the scientific examination of people's behavior and mental processes.
Every person has the possibility of going into depression at some point in their life, from which they feel that they cannot get out of their own way. For example, you may think that you do not recognize yourself anymore, or you may be losing sleep because of thoughts that trouble you. You cannot enjoy anything. You may have become unable to cope or you may not be able to find the strength to fight. You may have problems with your spouse/partner and you may have reached a point where you cannot overcome them. In such cases, you may need the support of an expert. So, what should be considered when choosing a psychologist? We will focus on these issues in our article.
1-First of all, be sure to research the competence of your psychologist on the subject you need support for.
2- Pay attention to the field in which he specializes after 4 years of psychology.
3-While searching on the internet. People who have many followers but are not qualified in this field are active today. While researching, be sure to do the necessary research on which department you graduated from and what your area of expertise is.
4- Request to see the diploma and area of expertise documents or master's certificate from those who got a certificate on the internet with just a few days of training and introduce themselves as a psychotherapist.
5- Since there is no legal regulation for psychologists to open therapy centers, unfortunately, many professions that are graduates of psychology but do not have a master's degree or are not graduates of psychology can open therapy centers. Therefore, be sure to do detailed research before you go.
6- Take into account the opinions of those around you who have been to a psychologist before and have benefited from it.
7- While searching for a psychologist, you can find recommendation articles and personal information on the websites you come across. Be sure to read the articles on their blogs.
8- Since there are many psychological counseling centers that operate under the hood and are not registered with the state, do not hesitate to ask for your invoice for the service you received when you pay the fee. If they do not want to give you an invoice, ask why and complain to the relevant units.
9- When you meet with the psychologist, "I will definitely treat you or this many sessions." If the psychologist says "we will find a solution", question its reliability, because the science of psychology does not provide a 100% treatment approach to any client. question the situation.
11- If you are going to have psychological tests, ask whether the person who will test you has a practitioner certificate for that test and make sure that the test result has the stamp and signature of the relevant expert. Psychological tests require a separate practitioner certificate for each applied test.
12- Therapies are carried out on the principle of "confidentiality". What is said between the client and the therapist cannot be shared with a third person.
If it is a matter of receiving psychological support, it is necessary to pay attention to all these issues.
