What do you think psychologists do? In fact, if we went out to the streets and asked, I'm sure many people would give different answers. It is not a well-known profession in our country. Everyone comments in their own way, saying it could be like this or that. I would like to talk about what a psychologist is not. If we know even a little bit what it is not, more accurate things can be formed in our minds.
Your friends, your family, your neighbors are not psychologists.
When I started first grade, our teacher told us this in the first lesson: "We don't chat with neighbors." This is a taboo in our country and we need to break this taboo. When I tell someone I'm studying psychology, the first thing they say is "What are you doing? Instead of giving you money, I'll go tell my friend about my problem, that's fine, what's the need?" However, what a wrong belief this is. Yes, talking to your friend may relieve you and be good for you, but this does not mean that your problems are over. You are just covering up your problems for the moment. Problems that you think have disappeared today will show you another face tomorrow. Don't hesitate to get help. Getting help will not harm you, on the contrary, it will be good for you. When you go to a psychologist, you think, "How can this help me? He's just talking. I'll go talk to my friend and keep my money in my pocket." However, while you think that the Psychologist is chatting with you, he is helping you. In its simplest form, it tries to purify the thoughts and feelings that you hide and hide from yourself by bringing them to light. Psychologists will never engage in neighborly conversation with you.
