What clues to look at?

Here is my opinion:

✅ Practitioner’s own results.
Be it mental resilience, good relationships, career fulfillment - people who have achieved it had to overcome own limiting circumstances and beliefs and are likely to mirror you your blind spots.

✅ Empathy, connection.
You will see that the person gets you. You feel comfortable. You receive results after each session. The best way to check that connection is by having 1 session.

❌ Degree.
Everyone has a degree and theoretical knowledge, but not everyone a master of their craft.

Also, not everyone keeps studying after having a degree, doing own therapy and supervision, achieving own goals.

❌ Price.
Good specialists can charge high or low prices. Bad professionals can do the same. Price is not a reliable indicator.

A disclaimer here: good specialists do not provide free advice and that is a rule among psychologists.

The reason for that is to avoid a common “game”. Person 1 is giving advice in hope that Person 2 gets better and by that also proves Person’s 1 worth. Person 2 opts for free help to be able to say “I have done it all”, while in fact not committing any m effort and resources to a desired change and only aggravating own state of helplessness.

What do you look at while choosing a helping professional?

Psychologists have different “entrances” to access the causes of people’s problems.

It can be done by working with our thoughts (cognition), emotions, unconscious beliefs, family stories and through our BODY.

I think that working through the body is the most rewarding, because there cannot be ambiguity: we just see a disease visually or via blood tests and screens.

Here is the main principle of working through the body:

Every disease has a goal set by our brain to achieve an outcome. And even if we are not aware of this goal, it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist.

Be it high blood sugar, headache, high or low blood pressure, pains, anemia or even different stages of cancer - there is a clue to those conditions, and psychologists work with them effectively.

Psychosomatic treatment as an approach to link body issues with the mind is at the forefront of psychology research at the moment.

There are more and more psychologists with many years of practice who are putting together their observations, creating the tables of body issues and relevant personal conflicts that their clients had to resolve.

I have attended a few training courses led by psychologists who are successful in the treatment of different body conditions. Very excited about that field. ☺️

Working through the body is like a high-end psychological surgery: there could be many possible pathways for a problem resolution, but only one will be valid.

Resolving a conflict through the body also unlocks the solutions for our problems in relationships or at work.

I wish I would start working with psychologists, coaches, consultants earlier in my life. They just have these insights and interesting perspective about my life, which has a life changing effect…

FIND A WAY TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE AND RELATIONSHIPS

Are you trying hard to change the situation you don’t like, but nothing work?! True reasons are often hidden from our conscious awareness. We might go in circles and not progress with our desired goals for months and years, we might not believe that a change is achievable in our circumstances.

❗️Attention: some of these methods are unrecognized by official science or even banned in many countries.

Nevertheless, they can still be (or not be) the source of useful information, which will help to understand the reasons of our misfortunes.

1️⃣ Tables of psychosomatic causes.

The idea behind it is that our body and our psyche are closely connected. What we keep in our thoughts influences the way how our body reacts.

An obvious example of linking thoughts with the bodily feedback is a Pavlov’s experiment on conditioning the dogs. If we think of something delicious - our saliva increases, if we are frightened - our heart beat increases.

Therefore, our body is the best indicator of the issues we need to address in our psyche.
There are special tables from different authors where they give clues to why certain diseases or “issues” happen to us.

I personally consult with these tables all the time when I experience any imbalances or issues with my body, I find it very helpful and this allows me to lead a medicine-free lifestyle.

2️⃣ Regression hypnosis, including past life regression.

I personally tried it, but the effects are not obvious to me. People need to be careful opting for such techniques not to fall prey of our tendencies for magical thinking as some sourse of grounding and reassurance in our not-so-simple lives.

Seeing the alledged pictures of our past which we never witnessed can make people withdrawn from reality and fixated on certain ideas, which is the ground for developing a psychotic mindset.

The main secret for fulfilling relationships

People will be ready to forgive you many shortcomings: imperfect looks, lack of success, peculiar character…

People are with you not for how amazing you are, but for how you reflect them who THEY are.

They want to see their potential, depth, loveability THROUGH being with you…

You won’t connect with a person if you somehow show them that they are not interesting, not worthy, not existent.

Therefore, the main secret is: stop worrying about proving yourself in relationships - start focusing on THEM, have genuine interest.

You will automatically prove to be a very good person for them, if next to you they feel truly good, seen, understood, safe.

I apply integral approach while working with clients, meaning that I use a variety of methods which psychology and personal development sciences have to offer.

Here are the approaches which I like using the most, because they bring amazing results:

1️⃣ Classical coaching: to gain more clarity on your vision and find actionable opportunities to implement it.

2️⃣ Trauma informed therapy: to uncover, why you struggle to address certain situations in your life for a long time, why you keep attracting similar situations or why some simple situations trigger you a lot.

3️⃣ Internal family systems therapy: to uncover the contexts of your irrational behavior or bad habits and address those.

4️⃣ Symbol drama: to move away from your rational understanding of your situation to your subconscious understanding of it and then develop a new subconscious journey to overcome your issue.

5️⃣ Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)/ Schema therapy: to help you monitor and influence the connection between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors in your daily life.

6️⃣ Individual coaching training: to equip you with best practices on how to move from A to B in your situation and supervise your implementation of the advice.

7️⃣ Jungian therapy: to reduce the tensions in relationships and uncover your suppressed potential.

8️⃣ Embodied processing & Psychosomatic analysis: to assess your bodily signals for the clues on how to change your situation for better.

9️⃣ Hypnotherapy: to help you embody useful states of confidence, resourcefulness, safety, calmness, relaxation.

🔟 Art-therapy: to diagnose the characteristics of your issue based on your subconscious response.

Which of these have you tried? And which of this do you practise (if you are a helping professional)?

MY STORY

For as long as I can remember myself, I have always been a very ambitious and idealistic person. I dreamed of having a beautiful family, a fulfilling and successful business, a life of meaning, good health - everything that can be called “happiness”.

I tried to cheerfully go towards these goals - I studied well, worked hard with full dedication starting from the early age of 16 and combined it with studies, and also tried to be the very best in relationships.

It would seem that such hyper-responsibility and high performance would 100% lead to achieving my goals. But in fact, although I managed to fulfill some dreams, I experienced burnout and resentment for putting in a lot of effort and getting very little, both in business and in love.

The consequences were harsh. In 2017, my life showed to me how it is possible to ruin all fields of life to the ground zero. I had an acute mental and psysical health breakdown, my business had to be closed and my engagement fell apart.

At that time I didn’t even realize what was happening to me.
After all, as you may know, living with grief and loss has certain stages: first it is DENIAL. Being in this state, it is not so easy to help yourself and act rationally!

When dealing with uncertainty people want to rely on something that guarantees the outcomes.
Let’s see how it applies to psychology work.

5 years ago I was a big fan of evidence-based approaches to psychology.

It all makes sense - they have got the data that their solutions work - and that’s the main thing that matters, right?

It’s not that black and white.
On one side, I appreciate all the research work that psychologists do to ground and algorithm their methods.
As a fan of Math, this is very appealing to me.

On the other side, I see a number of fundamental issues when it comes to relying on evidence-based practices in psychology and actually not decreasing, but increasing the numbers of people with mental challenges:

1️⃣ The field of psychology becomes less holistic and more commercialized with decreased value for customers.

To give you the analogy, it’s like pharmacies work. You come there, you say that you have an “issue”, for example, headache or high cholesterol and they give you a pill 💊. This pill is very much evidence-based and there is much research supporting the notion that it will fix your issue.

Oh, love dependency… It is often the main reason for hardship in relationships!

There was a man. His wife cheated on him, but he loved her anyways. His wife criticized his every step, but he loved her anyways. His wife considered him worthless - and he agreed, and loved her anyways…

Love dependency destroys a person.

🙄 Makes people justify the evil;
🙄 Creates the grounds for abuse;
🙄 Reduces self-esteem;
🙄 Damages progress in all fields of life;
🙄 Kills love between people.

Just like any dependency (on alcohol, drugs, foods), it makes people justify the choices they make, even if they pose a great danger…

Thoughts?
