Simple Psychology has launched a training program, which lasts for two years, 4 1.200 yuan, and awarded certificates. This certificate is certified by APA, and you can apply for APA's continuing education hours certification. From arranging internships for unqualified students to issuing credit certificates by American associations, naive psychology, which seems to be the most professional, is more and more like a training institution.
The Little Spirit Psychological Platform also made a promise of "arranging work" in the training program, and even put forward the slogan of entering the platform for psychological consultation after three months, which is more urgent and radical than pure psychology. Its sales color is getting stronger and stronger, and it enjoys the business of persuasion and emotional chat in San Xiao.
A psychology turned to content realization early, and the business began to favor public mental health education.
From this information, we can see that psychology is becoming more and more commercialized under the background of the Internet.
For practitioners who enter psychological counseling, the cost of learning is very high, and they need to participate in professional training, personal experience and supervision. It has been calculated that novice students spend about 6000 yuan on psychological consultation every month.
The high learning cost has become a heavy burden for beginners. Under the pressure of survival demand, the learning cost of consultants will inevitably be transmitted to visitors, and visitors can't afford too high fees. When consultants can't get survival resources from visitors, they have to suck blood from their peers.
Therefore, training has become the way for most colleagues to survive. Only by commercializing training can we obtain sustainable living resources.
For ordinary people, psychology also has a track of commercialization, but it is not so obvious.
1. Media and self-media let more and more people know that there is a special discipline, such as psychology, which is dedicated to making people live happier and can also explain and predict human behavior and behavioral motives.
Nine times out of ten, life is not satisfactory. As long as we live in this world, we can't avoid love, hate, sorrow and joy. Sometimes I feel that I can't get through and need professional help or self-help.
With the improvement of people's living standards, they no longer worry about food and clothing, but pay more and more attention to the freedom and peace of mind. Because inner contradictions sometimes make people feel worse than not having enough to eat and not being warm.
4. There are many learning channels. You can find relevant materials, books, online courses, official WeChat account articles, etc. If you want to study any subject. Some celebrities offer courses to realize the realization of content, and more and more people begin to follow suit.
In the era of information explosion, many people like selling anxiety. The world is punishing those who don't study. Studying psychology can help you know yourself and others better. If you don't study, you will be eliminated.
You see, unconsciously, psychology is becoming more and more commercialized.
In fact, learning is a good thing, especially for interest. Studying psychology can make us know ourselves better and realize our own problems, thus improving our lives.
So, for us ordinary people, how to avoid being fooled?
1. Only by knowing some basic knowledge of psychology can we know what is reliable and what is unreliable. For example, this book "This is Psychology" can help you understand what science is and what is a scientific way of thinking, so as to distinguish pseudo-psychology in the market. Psychology and Life and Forty Studies on Psychological Changes are all popular books in psychology.
2. Choose suitable learning materials and courses according to your own needs, such as republished books published by good publishing houses and courses of well-known and credible teachers.
If you need professional help or consultation, the most convenient and reliable thing is to go to the hospital. There are generally psychological clinics in 3A hospitals, which require consultants to have professional qualifications. Even if the effect is not good, or you feel that the psychological counselor is not suitable for you, you will not be hurt.
