A real specialist will not do real work “for no reason”. If you want a professional psychologist to work with you, you will have to pay for it. First, pay with your serious attitude and your willingness to work. Second, money.
There are a large number of games with which customers try to get around this — usually without success. We will list you typical games that do not work.
- Pressure for pity.
“Doctor, everything is so bad with me, and this is not so, and this is not like that, and no one can help me, you are my last hope, help!” — no, such unfortunate plaintive cries do not affect psychologists.
- Vanity game.
“Oh, I like your site so much, thank you very much for it, you are the very best… please help me!” — an attempt to pay for psychological services with sweet flattery. Good psychologists rarely buy into this, but you don’t need a bad one.
- The friendship game
“I like your articles, and let’s be friends with you!” and then in small print — «… and you, as a friend, will help me solve my problems.» It only brings a smile.
- Playing on professional interest
“I hope my case will interest you and you will help me out of sports interest … maybe you will learn something yourself and you will still be grateful to me, and then I will not feel indebted” — no, psychologists put aside letters with such a beginning, not considering.
- Coquetry
“Can I tell you about my problems, and then you will help me, huh? I will be very grateful to you! I’m also a girl and I have beautiful eyes, hee hee!” — and a bunch of emoticons after each word … The girl is confused and behaves as if she came on a date. No, it doesn’t roll.
