I often meet people from different cultural backgrounds and different ethnic groups who ask me "does she work?" And I tell them I do the Counselor, the demand rebound that I immediately asked is: "What?". Although Counseling is present for about 20 years in our country, yet many people do not know.
With this article I will try to explain in a comprehensive manner and without too many technical terms what is the counseling. First, the definition is carried over from the Dictionary of Counseling:
[...]
Counseling is a relationship founded on the principles and features from one or more psychological theories and a recognized set of skills.
[...]
Its dominant ethos is to facilitate rather than offer advice or force.
[...]
task of counseling is to give customers an opportunity to explore, discover and clarify ways of living fruitful and aimed at a higher state of being.
Counseling may also be used to "facilitate the work of the customer in a way that their values, personal resources and capacity for self-determination."
(W. Dryden and C. Feltham, Dictionary of Counseling, 1995 Multimedia Sovera)
While the World Health Organization defines counseling as "a specific time-limited process that, through dialogue, the ' unconditional acceptance, listening and understanding, puts people in a position to handle problems and respond to distress and psychosocial needs in the best way possible according to their resources and potentialities. "
Counseling therefore, is for all people who feel the need to increase self-awareness, enhance their resources, with the aim of creating and optimizing the ideal conditions for their own welfare. In the course of life happens to everyone through a particularly difficult period, many times the problems are known, but there are situations where we feel uncomfortable, unmotivated and there is clear why. Everything seems dark, black, it's hard to go to work, at school, be with your family, take important decisions, it also becomes difficult to have fun with friends, carve out its own space. When we troviamo in un periodo simile, non è sempre possibile trovare dentro di noi le risorse per affrontarlo, mentre le persone che ci stanno vicino non sanno ascoltarci integralmente. Per esempio: in un periodo di crisi affettiva o professionale è facile sentirsi dire da amici o familiari frasi come “vedrai che passerà”, oppure “devi portare pazienza”, “dovresti fare in questo modo anziché in quell’altro …” ecc; in realtà certe frasi sono apparentemente gratificanti e spesso nascondono la trappola della manipolazione. In questi casi un percorso di Counseling diventa importante, poiché il Counselor (il professionista del Counseling) ci accoglie comprendendo pienamente la sofferenza che we are experiencing at that moment, offering listening, support and guidance to address and overcome problems with greater awareness.
In this way, the Counselor or remove or add something, but it takes us to the discovery of resources, talents and potential that each of us, with a view to improving their well-being, accompanied by informed and responsible choices.
fact Carl Rogers (1902 - 1987) believes that, like all living organisms, including humans possess an innate tendency to guard and grow, so each person has the ability to understand itself and make construction changes to his life.
Anche la Gestalt asserisce che: “Ogni organismo tende naturalmente ad un sano equilibrio, per cui è sufficiente mettere le persone in contatto con le proprie emozioni, sensazioni, ecc., perché si verifichi la crescita”. (G. Ariano)
Il Counseling dunque è un percorso rivolto a tutte quelle persone che non hanno un problema di origine psicopatologico; è una relazione d’aiuto in grado di favorire la soluzione dei disagi esistenziali di origine psichica senza ristrutturazione profonda di personalità, aiutandoci a riconquistare quella peculiarità squisitamente umana che è il libero arbitrio.
Equilibrio psicofisico, cura di sé, prevenzione, sono queste tra le more prerogatives of Counseling. An observant lifestyle, healthy and conscious, which favors the health behavior (self-esteem, assertiveness, self-awareness, positive attitude) are the basis for a better well-being.
The areas of intervention of counseling are different, I work personally consulting with individual meetings for couples and group counseling
expressive play therapy, with more attention devoted to children and adolescents.
Counseling school support, aimed at the development of affective and motivation.
"Who is in a difficult situation, where there seems to be a way
output, a situation where you have to develop a bereavement, can benefit from a
Counseling path but, above all, the importance of granting a
fundamental right: to be able to tell their stories, express
pain, give permission to cry, and while each is told, there must be someone who
plays. " This is the counseling, this is my
profession.
