The path as a psychologist
Luca Mazzuccheli, Vice President of the Order of Psychologists in Lombardy, after a long journey he landed on the web and from there everything changed. The psychologist was able to communicate the importance of his professional figure and the influence that this role can have on everyday life. The infamous permanent position, so coveted and, luckily for him, never arrived, it reserved for him pleasant and very unexpected surprises. After years and years of training, Luca Mazzuccheli has taken his first steps in the sector that have led him to acquire greater awareness of its potential. This is why he decided to invest his business in web marketing, a decision that led to extraordinary results. His consulting in the studio and his great satisfaction know something. A very demanding path that the professional has been able to channel in the best way.
In fact, if we all knew the process that every psychologist follows before starting to work, perhaps we would look at it with different eyes. After high school, an infinite horizon of possibilities opens up to choose from which must be translated into only one (and possibly the right) choice. For some the choice is called psychology. test initial (not always mandatory) aimed at all aspiring psychologists has the aim of screening and selecting the most suitable people for this path. Once you have taken the entrance test you have to wait for the ranking. For the more prepared and fortunate, it is sufficient to wait for the course to start with the lessons, while those who have not received a high score must be a little more patient. If someone gives up or does not show up, the next candidate on the list will enter.
Having passed the first step, the student must now face a three-year period of lectures, group work and exams. The triptych takes the aspiring professional by the arm and leaves him alone at the end of the course of study. Here comes the fateful degree thesis and the proclamation with final grade. The path continues with two years of specialization crowned by a second thesis. Then you have to carry out the one-year internship, work activity inherent (hopefully as much as possible) to the study path and unpaid.
... almost a psychologist
Oh, finally I am psychologist! Oh no, because you still have to take the state exam that allows you to qualify for the profession. Four tests, one preparatory to the other (it means that if you do not pass the fourth and last test you have to start all over again as in the game of the goose!), Which have a variable duration from about a week up to two, three months, it depends from the region. At the end of the test, you are finally one licensed psychologist. Wait, you can't rent the studio together with your future colleagues yet, there is one more step to take first: lenrollment in the register of psychologists.
Now, just now, can you call yourself one psychologist.
But the psychologist, what exactly does he do?
Lo psychologist she is not the sensitive hairdresser who listens to you, she is not a magician who can look at you and read your mind, she is neither a counselor nor a friend to let off steam with. The psychologist is a professional who puts his scientific knowledge at the service of anyone who wants him to facilitate the reading of ourselves and the surrounding realities. The psychologist does not solve problems, he provides the tools to do so.
Imagine a person who has to make a sculpture and is using the wrong tools, his project is destined not to take off. The psychologist photograph the instrument, describe its characteristics objectively and compare it with your perception. The comparison can take into consideration from the small difficulties of everyday life, to phobias to get to any traumas that have left a mark. The goal of the psychologist is to make you as functional as possible, to make you live to the best of your possibilities and potential in the field staff, professional and social. They may be able to help you get over your claustrophobia, explain why panic attacks happen and how to deal with them or maybe how to experience relationships in a less problematic way.
But do not think that all this is easy, every small goal will be the object of a sometimes difficult, suffering confrontation. Always remember your, indeed your set goals and you will face every difficulty in a proactive way.
