7 PSYCHOLOGICAL MYTHS

7 PSYCHOLOGICAL MYTHS

Who has never heard this kind of psychological myths? Surely more than one has heard around him negative things about psychology. These psychological myths are gradually declining, as more and more people are interested in science that studies human beings, emotions and behavior.

Consequently, more and more people of all kinds go to the psychologist. Many times not because they have a problem. They may want to improve their abilities, get help to face a situation or make decisions.

On the other hand, psychology is a science with many specialties. And not all are dedicated to treating patients. There are educational, community, social psychology, etc. The linking of psychology with the abnormality is a thing of the past.

1. THOSE WHO GO TO THE PSYCHOLOGIST ARE EVIL OF THE HEAD OR ARE VERY WEAK

In earlier times this belief was maintained, but today it has been shown that psychology can help many people improve their lives and their emotions and do not have to be bad in the head.

Moreover, people who have a psychological disorder do not usually go to the psychologist, because being wrong they do not realize that they have a problem and are very reluctant to receive help. They tend to be carried or forced by someone.

Who is able to make the decision to go to a professional, is a person who wants to improve, to overcome, to feel better, to heal from any evil. They are usually rational people although at some point in their lives they find that the problems overcome them.

As for the weakness, I consider much stronger who is able to recognize that he has a problem and will seek help, than who would never go even feeling bad. We must have the courage and strength to face the problems and be able to count them to collaborate with the professional in search of solutions.

Just as when we have some physical illness we go to the doctor, when you feel emotional discomfort you can go to a psychologist, it is not bad or abnormal.

2. TIME CURE EVERYTHING

Time does not heal, what heals is the person who has acquired a favorable attitude over time so that the problem can be solved. There are those who improve over time because they have the tools to improve and do what is appropriate for their cure.

But on other occasions, if the person does not know what to do or is locked up and does not face solving their problems, it can get worse over time, or remain as it is without improvement.

3. THE PSYCHOLOGISTS DO NOT HAVE AN IDEA, YOU CAN BE EASILY DECEIVED

It is a phrase that I have heard many times. People who think so are not aware that a psychologist is not a rival, on the contrary, he is a person who is going to try to help us, but they are not fortune tellers, they need the patient to give them the real information of what is happening to them.

If the patient does not collaborate, he will be deceiving himself, it is as if we go to the doctor and we do not tell him what it hurts waiting for him to discover with tests. We would be slowing the process and wasting a lot of time until the professional discovers what really happens.

A psychologist is not a detective, everything will be better if we give the maximum possible information and collaborate positively.

4. ONCE I WENT TO A PSYCHOLOGIST AND NEVERMORE, THEY DO NOT HELP

I have heard it very often and it usually happens, when you have a bad experience in any field, you tend to throw in the towel. In all professions, there are efficient and competent people and other nefarious people. It occurs in any profession, but because we have gone wrong with one, we should not generalize and think badly of the profession.

There is everything and the idea is to put the means to choose well. The patient is the one who chooses, if with a professional you don't feel that you are advancing, you don't feel affinity or trust, you can always change.

There are professionals of many types and some will be great for your improvement. Do not stay with the first one you go to. Test, test and choose. When you find the right one with your problem and your personality, you'll be glad you didn't throw in the towel.

5. ONLY BY SPEAKING WILL I HEAL? FOR THAT I DO WITH A FRIEND

The fact of taking out the problems and negative experiences is a first step to relieve emotions. Keeping inside negative things is harmful to health, there will come a time when it will explode somewhere.

Just by speaking it already feels relief and is the beginning of the cure, of course, after that the patient also has to do his part and follow some guidelines for his improvement. The difference between doing it with a friend and a psychologist is that friends do not have the knowledge that a psychologist has to give an efficient response that can help with improvement.

Many times with the best of intentions, an inappropriate response can make people worse, but a professional knows how to react, will never judge anything and give appropriate feedback to each case.

Also telling certain things to friends, family or acquaintances can trigger another problem that leaves the person labeled. Depending on the problem it is always better to tell a professional who will keep the secret and try to help in the best possible way.

6. I'm LOOKING FOR A PROFESSIONAL GUAPA, SO I WILL GO MORE ILLUSIONED TO THE CONSULTATIONS

This is a serious mistake, it is important that the professional is not attractive to us, because when we like someone, unwittingly, we try to impress and that way it will be more difficult for you to bring out your problems.

If someone doesn't like you, you won't mind talking about the worst thing in you, about your biggest flaws and weaknesses.

If you mix the link with the medicine, you will not be helping yourself at all. It is as if you go to the doctor because your stomach hurts and instead of going to what you are going and telling you everything that happens to you, you try to put on your best face and try to like the doctor, it is not rational, you have to separate things and If you go to the doctor or psychologist you should go to what you are going and focus exclusively on your improvement.

In addition, if the professional was already attractive to you from the beginning, then it will be more difficult for you to leave it and this is counterproductive because it will harm you to stop seeing you and you will encounter another emotional problem.

Normally, patients usually become very fond of someone who is helping them and not judging, because if you already liked it from the beginning, it will be very painful to leave the consultations.

7. PSYCHOLOGY PROFESSIONALS ARE WORSE THAN THEIR PATIENTS

I think we have all heard opinions like this sometimes. We should not judge professionals like that because as I said before, there is everything in all places. Some psychologists if it is true that they have had great problems and therefore have been interested in studying the race, to help themselves or someone important in their environment.

This should not be negative, since people who have been through problems are more sensitive and can better understand their patients.

Some are against psychology and make these psychological myths remain in time, others in favor, what is clear is that any psychology professional has made a career in which he has studied human behavior and psychological processes and emotional.

With that learning they can help people improve their discomfort, it is a science that is not exact or perfect, but well used by a good professional can change a life.
