There is a profession called psychological counselor

Some scholars have predicted that in 100 years, all professions will disappear, leaving only programmers. There is one profession that will not be eliminated, and that is psychological counselors.

Since AlphaGo defeated the top Go player Lee Sedol last year, we have realized that as long as we have developed intelligent technology, we can create a variety of robots to replace lathes, fitters, barbers, drivers, Accountants, athletes, poets, writers, etc. The work methods of the above-mentioned occupations that may be eliminated can be described and quantified, and they can all be completed through digital technology and big data. But robots are designed by programmers rather than programmers by robots, so programmers will never be replaced by robots.

So, why will psychological counselors not be replaced by robots? The reason is: tacit knowledge. A counselor is someone who works through tacit knowledge. "Tacit knowledge" is a concept proposed by Polanyi, which refers to knowledge that cannot be fully described. Because tacit knowledge is difficult to accurately describe and quantify, it is impossible to digitize it using any technical means, and big data is no exception. A good psychological counselor must not only be familiar with psychology, but also be familiar with medicine, life sciences, sociology, philosophy, religion, law, education, success studies, ethics, hypnosis, logic and many other aspects of knowledge. It requires talent, strong logical reasoning ability and keen insight into the development of things, which are not quantifiable.

In reality, people have many misunderstandings about psychological counseling. One is that psychological counseling is just chatting. Psychological counseling is different from chatting in the general sense. It uses professional theoretical knowledge of psychology, as well as knowledge of sociology, medicine, etc., and has a strict scientific theoretical system and operating procedures. The second is that psychological counseling can see through your thoughts and know your past and future. Psychological counselors have good trained observation skills, know the scientific laws of psychological activities, and have very objective logical analysis capabilities. They can judge certain subconscious psychological activities, but all of this must come from real, objective, and comprehensive information. Third, doing psychological counseling makes people laugh. Psychological counseling is one of the best ways to promote human growth and development and an effective way to prevent psychological disorders. The most basic principles of psychological counseling include "absolute confidentiality."

What is the role of a psychological counselor? It is to help you accurately analyze the situation in this trilogy, provide you with some rational suggestions, help you open your mind, balance your emotions, enhance your self-confidence, and help you identify Understand the nature of your own problems and discuss solutions to solve them, so that your tense emotions can be relieved and your mentality can be balanced. The solution of people's psychological problems is often based on solving practical problems.

Sometimes your heart is like a desert, what should you do? Divert water, and then find some drought-resistant plants to plant, attracting lizards, snakes, birds, etc. Although the pace of change is small, this small The ecology will slowly come alive. There will gradually be more plants and more animals will come, so your heart will change from a desert to an oasis.

A person must have hope. Only those who have hope can live with energy and motivation. It is said that running water does not rot and door hinges do not have beetles. Flowing blood is fresh and energetic, making it easy to be healthy. If the inner world is a pool of stagnant water, diseases will breed.

We cannot change others, let alone the world, but we can change ourselves through enlightenment and wisdom, so as to adapt to this glorious society.
