The above is my understanding of psychological counseling. Due to the lack of counseling practice and life experience, these views and understandings may appear superficial and pale. Nevertheless, I hope this letter can convey to you my yearning for psychological counseling and become a qualified or even excellent psychological counselor. The following are the reasons why I think I am suitable for peer counseling: 1. Personality factors: calm and rational, easy-going and helpful, full of emotion and sympathy, keenly aware of other people's psychological changes. My friends often say that I am considerate and can listen and interact patiently, so they often chat with me. 2. Professionalism: Interest is the best teacher. If you choose applied psychology as your first choice, you will certainly work harder and concentrate more than many people in the process of learning, so you have a good grasp of professional knowledge. 3. Experience: As the saying goes, it is impossible to be a good doctor without being a patient. I have experienced severe depression and successfully got out of it, so I can have more empathy for visitors' problems, understand, respect and accept them, and give them warmth and care. Personal interests: (things related to psychology) observing and speculating people's psychology and behavior, reading and writing, watching movies and cartoons, listening to music and doing yoga. Psychological consultation-this is my original intention, and it will also be my lifelong pursuit of the ideal. I hope you can give me a practical opportunity to help others. Waiting for your good news, thank you! Applicant: xx
2065438+March 8, 2005 Part II: Experience of Peer Counselor Training I still remember when the school sent out the notice of peer counselors' registration. I looked at it and found it quite suitable for me. I also hoped to help my relatives, classmates and friends around me in my life, so I signed up with the purpose of learning. At that time, it was strange that only one person in our class signed up except the psychological Committee. Later, there were several intensive studies. Every time, the teacher is different, but each teacher has his own characteristics. In these training courses, I learned some knowledge about psychology and some symptoms of mental illness, such as schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, paranoia, auditory hallucination and so on. Of course, in such a serious situation, I can't completely solve it myself, and I can only rely on the power of medicine. After several trainings, I still remember that I was a grade counselor, and I probably forgot her name, only knowing. Daoshe is a good teacher who has quietly contributed to the post of counselor for 10 years. At that time, because we were counselors, we did more to get close to college students. As a good scholar in this field, the teacher's topic quickly aroused my interest. She talked about studying, working, falling in love in college, and whether to get a job or take the postgraduate entrance examination in the future. She said that if you are a person who has decided to look for a job, then you should pay attention to work matters from the freshman exam, such as whether you have a job or not, register an account in the future, and add one online every time you improve your strength. By the third year of high school, you can accumulate a lot of achievements. Finding a good job is nothing more than a simple matter, and there is no need to be at a loss as many college graduates are now. This is a fact. Only by stocking in advance can we have the effect of changing with the same. I learned a lot in this course.
The topic turned to my feelings as a peer counselor. Although I am not a formal peer counselor, I think I have entered such a mode. Peer counselor, as its name implies, means to coach friends and peers. In the past, I often used a party member label to ask myself to help those students who needed help or were slightly unhealthy. Now I realize that this is the responsibility of a peer counselor. After this training, I have a better understanding of the responsibilities of peer counselors and many concepts that I have never touched before, which will increase my confidence in continuing to help my classmates. I believe that in the future, whether in school or in society, I will continue to study and try my best to help people around me. Eliminate psychological problems for them, warm others and be happy. Finally, I want to say that in the process of learning these psychological knowledge, it is not only useful in college life, but also helpful to myself. I should listen more. I should listen as a person and let our friends feel that we understand them, be their friends and really help our classmates. These are my thoughts and feelings after attending the training. Chapter III: Working Principles and Precautions of Peer Counselors for Students in Grammar and Foreign Languages Department. The contents of Peer Counseling include five aspects: physical and mental health, career planning, academic management, quality development and daily life. Peer counselors should pay attention to several working principles in their daily work: 1. Principle of confidentiality: confidentiality is the most important principle in peer counseling. Its basic meaning includes: peer counselors must strictly keep confidential the conversations of students seeking help, and may not disclose the basic information of students seeking help, such as names and main questions, to any individual or organization without the permission of the students seeking help. Break the confidentiality principle under appropriate circumstances. Asking for help from classmates may cause harm to yourself or others. For example, when peer counselors find that students have a strong suicidal tendency, they should try their best to prevent them from taking action, and at the same time quickly get in touch with counselors who ask for help from classmates and college students' psychological centers, and put forward effective measures as soon as possible to avoid suicide tragedies. Similarly, when students seeking help have the intention of hurting others, peer counselors should also inform relevant departments in time and take necessary measures.
Second, the principle of helping others to help themselves: the principle of "helping others to help themselves" means that peer counselors should help students tap their potential in counseling, so as to help students solve their own problems. In other words, the main goal of peer counseling activities should be to mobilize students' initiative to seek help, let them actively find their own problems, try to cooperate with peer counselors to find solutions to problems, and actively change themselves, rather than passively accepting the guidance and arrangement of peer counselors. This is a very important principle to ensure the effectiveness of consultation. 3. Referral principle: Referral principle refers to referring a case to other professionals or institutions when peer counselors think that a case is beyond their ability or time is not enough, which makes them unable to solve the problem well. The fundamental purpose of case referral is to ensure that students seeking help get the best help. Fourth, the principle of attitude neutrality: Peer counselors should maintain a neutral position in the consultation process, don't mix personal feelings into the consultation, don't get too involved in the consultation, and always keep a cool head. A neutral attitude helps peer counselors objectively analyze and judge students' help-seeking problems, and plays an important and positive role in solving students' help-seeking problems. 5. Fairness, Justice and Openness In the work of peer counselors, the principles of fairness, justice and openness must be maintained, which will help to establish the prestige of peer counselors and help to form a good class atmosphere as a whole. Chapter four: the practice of peer psychological education; Practical Exploration of Peer Counseling in Secondary Vocational Schools: Patricia Lam Fung Tangli Dong Qing of Datian Vocational College.
A report of UNESCO predicts: "From now until the middle of 2 1 century, no disaster can bring people lasting and profound pain like a psychological crisis." In recent years, there have been more and more incidents caused by students' mental health problems. First, the problem secondary vocational students are at the end of adolescence, and the beginning of adolescence is a critical period for physical and mental development and social maturity. Their individual psychological development is becoming more and more complex, while their thinking is agile, they are prone to extremes, enthusiasm and impulsiveness, and they often have anxiety and confusion in interpersonal relationships and environmental adaptation, showing strong rebellious psychology and confrontational behavior towards teachers. These are common manifestations of psychological weaning. After students enter vocational colleges, the pressure from outside and inside increases, which increases their psychological burden. On the one hand, the psychological status of secondary vocational school students is getting worse, but on the other hand, the number of mental health teachers in the school is limited, with only two mental health teachers in more than 50 classes. In addition, secondary vocational school students in adolescence have the characteristics of "being close to peers and ignoring teachers and parents". Some students are embarrassed to ask the psychological teacher for help after they have psychological problems. What should I do if my classmates don't find a teacher after they have psychological problems? As a mental health educator in the school, of course, we can't let it develop, we must find ways to solve the problem. Therefore, the peer counseling model was born in our Daejeon Vocational College. Second, peer counseling theory
(I) Significance of Peer Counseling Peer Counseling refers to that people of the same age give psychological guidance, comfort and support to classmates and friends who need psychological help around them, and provide a kind of help activity similar to psychological counseling. (China scholar Chen). (2) The characteristics of peer counseling 1, family friendship. Peer counseling generally occurs between relatives, acquaintances or friends, not strangers. Professional psychological counseling only requires avoiding multiple relationships between counselors and visitors-"try not to establish consulting relationships with acquaintances, relatives and colleagues". 2. Voluntary obligations. Peer counseling is an altruistic behavior, usually voluntary, and there is basically no problem that the parties have to pay material rewards to peer counselors. Voluntary obligation is an important feature that distinguishes peer counseling from professional counseling (the relationship between counselors and visitors is a contractual professional interpersonal relationship). 3. Simple, effective and direct intervention. The main purpose of professional psychological counseling is to change the cognition, motivation and attitude of the parties through counseling, and then influence their behavior. In peer counseling, the clients may live together, with close space, frequent communication and even unity. It is very convenient to provide psychological support such as comfort, encouragement and persuasion, and even directly supervise and interfere with the words and deeds of the parties. In addition, peer counselors are familiar with the basic situation of clients, so they don't have to spend a lot of time mastering psychological problems and their influencing factors like professional counselors, which can save time and provide psychological assistance to clients in time.
Third, the practical significance of developing peer counseling activities in secondary vocational schools 1. Peer counseling is a useful supplement to professional counseling and counseling. Compared with the needs of more than 3,000 students in our school, the number of professional psychological counselors in our student mental health consulting room is far from enough. Therefore, training a large number of non-professional peer counselors and providing mental health education and counseling for the majority of secondary vocational students can greatly alleviate the contradiction between the shortage of professional counselors and greater demand. To relieve students' psychological troubles in emotion, employment, study and interpersonal communication, and relieve psychological pressure, it is far from enough to rely on several elective courses and one or two counseling by psychological teachers. After learning some psychological counseling knowledge and skills, it will play a positive guiding role in helping students around them solve psychological problems and enable them to establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life and values. 2. Peer counseling meets the psychological needs of secondary vocational school students. Psychological mutual assistance conforms to the actual psychological needs of secondary vocational school students and is carried out according to the psychological characteristics of teenagers after entering adolescence. Secondary vocational school students often like to open their hearts, communicate with each other and confide their troubles to their peers. Careful listening, reasonable persuasion, rational analysis, sincere comfort, etc. It will help the troubled secondary vocational students to recover their thinking and judgment ability, get rid of excessive emotions and rebuild their confidence. The psychological problems of secondary vocational school students have different levels, ranging from general adaptation problems to serious psychological obstacles and even mental diseases. Among them, there are not many students who really have serious mental disorders or mental diseases and need professional psychological counselors to deal with them. Most students are mainly under pressure and have different degrees of psychological confusion or short-term insanity. These problems can also be handled by trained laymen. Our school survey shows that when students feel psychological pressure and need psychological help, 59.4% choose to talk to friends and classmates, 17.7% choose to bear it silently, 8.6% choose to talk to trusted teachers and elders, 5.8% choose to seek help from professional psychological counseling institutions, and 2.7% choose to tell their parents. Therefore, in addition to psychological counseling, training peer counselors and actively providing students with high-quality peer counseling services are effective means to maintain students' mental health and promote their psychological development.
3. Peer counseling helps secondary vocational school students help themselves through mutual help. Building a harmonious society has become the main theme of today's society, and building a harmonious campus is the goal of building spiritual civilization in schools. To achieve this goal, every secondary vocational school student needs to have good psychological quality and the ability to adjust psychological problems. An important goal of peer counseling is to realize students' self-help through the guidance of counselors. After receiving individual or group counseling, the aided students have mastered the basic psychological adjustment methods and skills, and can adjust themselves after encountering difficulties in real life, and their self-psychological adjustment ability is gradually improved. Improve the ability of interpersonal communication and emotional communication, so as to actively participate in the work of building a harmonious campus. Fourth, the practice of peer counseling in our school (1) promotes the concept of peer counseling. We publicize the related knowledge and information of "peer counseling" in the mental health counseling class, and at the same time make posters to make students familiar with the contents of peer counseling.
(2) Select and train class psychological committee members to be responsible for peer psychological counseling. 1. Selection of Class Psychological Committee Since every academic year, the whole school has initiated an initiative to recruit class psychological Committee members. In accordance with the principle of combining self-recommendation with other recommendations, increase personnel. In principle, each class is limited to one man and one woman. The conditions of psychological committee members are: a, having a broad mass base among students; B, enthusiastic about class mental health work, with service consciousness; C, interested in psychology; D, optimistic and cheerful, mentally healthy; E, be good at communicating with people and have certain language expression ability;
2. The main contents of class psychological committee training A. Mental health standards; Common psychological problems of students in secondary vocational schools; C. teaching cognitive abc theory; D, how to adjust emotions and how to control behaviors; E, master certain counseling skills 3, the main forms and processes of psychological Committee training A. Concentrate on training at the beginning of each academic year. At the beginning of each school year, we take advantage of the weekend to rest for three days.

Self-recommendation letter from peer counselor
Peer counseling recommendation letter
Dear leading teacher:
Hello!
Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to read this letter of recommendation! I am glad to have this opportunity to recommend myself to you. In my opinion, psychological counseling is to be a "soul mate" of visitors, not a friend in life, but a "companion" in the soul, unconditionally "love" visitors-* * * affection, positive attention, respect for warmth, sincerity and credibility. * * * feelings, my personal understanding is that I can put myself in the visitor's shoes, enter his inner world, "blend in" with him, think about what he thinks and worries, be sensitive to the emotional changes of the visitor, and respond flexibly. Actively pay attention to and unconditionally accept visitors, even if they don't conform to the consultant's three views, don't judge them. Respect-every life deserves to be feared, everyone deserves to be respected, and everyone deserves to be given warmth and care. Everyone is in an independent world, taking different roads, and what they see, hear, think, do and feel must be different. If they can't understand, they will show understanding and respect. Sincerity and trustworthiness are the necessary conditions for positive relationships (friendship and love) between people.
