Energy

The professionals who directly live in touch with people who are mentally and physically ill or energy depleted, they need to do any sort of "Sadhna" to maintain their own energy level. This Sadhna can be yoga, meditation, pranayam or anything..
Because energy always flow from high to lower source, when we meet with the people who are sick, stressed, worried, depressed, our energy automatically start flowing toward them. This is the reason sick people start feeling fine after some time. But if we will not resume our own energy level, after sometime we also become energy depleted.

Counselling & Responsibility

When i decided to pursue my career in the field of Psychology as a teacher as a counsellor as a psychologist... My sir Dr. C. P. Mathur ji told me following incredible lines which became my lighting lamp for the entire journey-
"Mistake of an advocate is hanged 6ft above the ground,
Mistake of a doctor is buried 6ft under the ground;
But mistake of a counsellor is on the road without senses"

Every profession bring responsibility with them but some profession brings even more inbuilt responsibility within them, as teaching, counselling, astrology. Death is not only the biggest loss but the death of hope, zeal, vision within us is more fatal than the death itself.

Counselling & Astrology

I am a psychologist and have a keen interest in astrology, while reading psychology i realized astrology is also a helping profession as counselling.
All astrologers must be a counsellor first.. They must follow the ethics of counselling, as -
1. Confidentiality- keep client secret confidential.
2. Professional Disclosure & Informal consent-tell their expertise & take consent.
3. Dual Relationship- Do not engage with client in any other kind of relationship .
If they follow these, then only they can protect their clients rights and build trust and therapeutic relationship. First two will help in building trust and with the help of last they can maintain the objectivity of this helping profession.
with these points they must know what to tell, when to tell and how to tell and how much to tell. Without these skills they are more harmful in place of being useful for people and society.

Counselling

every person who study psychology or practice psychology in any way must faced these kind of question
"Hey You know psychology, can you tell me to see my face what is in my mind?"

Hey, When we go to doctor, they examine symptoms and after initial interrogation doctors have a rough idea about a problem but they recommend diagnostic tests to confirm the real problem. In the same way psychologist are also professionals, they also have diagnostic tools to confirm, known as "psychological tests".
Just on the basis of guesses psychologists cant predict anything. Its against professional ethics as well as reduce the objectivity of process too.

Psychology Professionals

Many people in India still confused between Psychologists/Counsellors and Psychiatrists. They think that only people who are mad go to these professionals, but this is a myth.

Reality is -:
Psychologists are the individuals who have theoretical knowledge of psychology who have done their masters and PhD in Psychology.

Counsellors are the people who are equipped with the skill of conducting psychometric tests and directly work with people in different work settings. For example school counsellors work in school, Clinical counsellors work in hospitals, etc. They help the people who are normal with their brain functioning. People go to them when they stuck somewhere in their life, having adjustment problems, relationship issues, emotional problems or confused in taking decision or even want to improve themselves, want to explore their maximum potentiality.
Counsellors never recommend any medicine as a mean of treatment.

Psychiatrists are the person who have MBBS degree with specialization in psychiatry, basically they are Medical doctors who can prescribed medicine as well as shock therapy as a mean of treatment. They handle extreme cases which cant be cure without the help of medicine.
