Should I participate in life choices, offline consultation, and unknown training? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

Do I need to accept offline psychological counseling? The second is about signing up for an unknown training institution (individual operates online courses)? As a 50-plus-year-old with a personality that is reclusive, negative emotions at an all-time high, not good at socializing, and being solitary in the workplace, it is not beneficial for my career mix (I was diagnosed with depression before, but I don't believe it). Considering my financial difficulties, I want to sign up for group counseling, and the other institution wants me to do a single session first, which costs 600, and it's a bit of a burden. I want to ask, is it necessary? What do I need to convince myself to sign up for? Self-improvement. The other reason is to improve skills, after a long search, I finally found a suitable course, which not only teaches financial and logical thinking abilities but also practical tool applications. However, the institution is operated by an individual, I learned about it through articles on the public account, and I couldn't find the teacher's background through any AI or Baidu searches. The course costs over 3000 yuan, so all the risks are unknown, including who the teacher is and how many students there are. They kept urging me to enroll and I couldn't pay half the money until I repeatedly asked, and then they agreed to send me the course to look at. I plan to pay the second half after the live stream. The teacher seemed reluctant and didn't respond, urging me to pay the second half, saying that they had already sent a video to me. I am extremely upset emotionally, yet I want to improve myself and find a way out, which makes me very hopeful. However, the unknown risks from the teacher make me hesitant to proceed, and the psychological effect (on TV, psychologists just say a lot of words that are hard to understand and make people feel confused) is significant. I want to find a consultant to talk and exchange ideas, but after my wife found out, she shut it down, saying I was making trouble for no reason and got lectured (my wife had previously said not to talk to her about problems, only to report good things, and I have no friends to communicate with). Now, I am truly helpless and seeking everyone's help.

Good day.

Despite being over 50 years old, you are still willing to invest significant resources, including financial, time, and energy, to pursue learning and growth opportunities, even if it entails personal financial challenges. Your dedication to lifelong learning is commendable and reflects a commitment to personal and professional development.

The first thing to consider is whether to accept offline psychological counseling.

You are interested in enrolling in group counseling at the other institution, but they require a one-off counseling session first, which costs 600 yuan. You feel that this fee is a bit too high for you to afford. I believe the other institution may also want to help you more directly. Doing one-on-one counseling first may give them a deeper understanding of you, so that they can match you with a group that suits you better.

One-on-one consultations on-site may facilitate a more accurate understanding of body language and facilitate more eye contact, which differs from the dynamics of online consultations. However, financial considerations should also align with one's actual financial capabilities.

If the cost is prohibitive, an alternative, more economical consulting method can be selected.

The second item on the agenda is to enroll in a learning course at an unidentified training institution. The total cost of the course exceeds 3,000 yuan, but as previously stated, the institution in question is unidentified.

Please describe your knowledge of the course content. Was the cost of 3,000 yuan a financial obstacle for you?

Furthermore, you were unaware of the identity of the instructor and were compelled to make a partial payment.

I believe there are ways to resolve this issue. If you do not pay, they cannot simply take the money from your account. I understand you said you had no choice because you did not want to lose face, and so you paid half the money.

Please advise if a refund is available in the event that you do not learn. Additionally, please indicate your level of interest in the course.

Please describe your objectives for taking this course.

It is crucial to engage in self-reflection and develop self-awareness. When the individual requested the remaining funds, they experienced a distinct sense of discomfort.

It is important to fully experience this emotion. What are the root causes of our emotions? You are motivated to improve yourself, but the potential risks associated with the teacher are causing you to hesitate.

Furthermore, you have reservations about the reliability of psychology. Given your exposure to negative news, it is understandable to question the potential for improvement through this course.

Please consider whether this course is the right fit for you.

I believe it is reasonable to assume that you are eager to learn and that your desire to transform yourself is commendable. It would seem that you are well suited to pursue psychological counseling and embark on a course of study in psychology.

Nevertheless, it is my hope that you will be able to learn in a systematic manner and find a more professional institution to learn from. At Yixin, you can begin by reading articles from public accounts and listening to reading clubs and psychological MF.

Alternatively, you may wish to consider engaging the services of a heart exploration coach, who can be found at a relatively low cost. It is important to ensure that your learning is aligned with your personal needs, and that you identify the most suitable learning direction, method and teacher for your requirements.

It would be inaccurate to view the role of psychology as that of a deity, nor is it a path that can be easily traversed by the average person. The counselors at Weiyixin have extensive experience and also contribute to articles and answer questions.

You can access their expertise at no cost and receive guidance on the best course of action. You will gain greater self-awareness of your needs and then identify a suitable instructor to help you learn and improve.

Similarly, when seeking counseling, it is often beneficial to identify a counselor or group that aligns better with your needs. You can experiment with different options and make adjustments as you go, ultimately finding a match that is more suitable for you.

In terms of financial pressure, I believe that you can begin by communicating with a coach via online or voice communication. This coach should be someone who is less financially stressed. Begin gradually, allow yourself to experience the benefits of psychology, and then implement changes at a pace that suits you.

Furthermore, you have identified several personality traits that you feel are problematic. These include feelings of withdrawal, a tendency to experience negative emotions, difficulties in social interaction, a preference for working independently, and a history of depression. However, you have not accepted this diagnosis. The above comments are all negative and will have a detrimental impact on your confidence and sense of self-worth.

Should you require a diagnosis or identification of depression, you may visit a regular hospital and see a psychiatrist. If you have depression, you may seek treatment in a more systematic manner.

Many personality issues have their roots in childhood, with some being innate, such as temperament and introverted or extroverted tendencies.

Some of these are behavioral habits, such as being solitary and not being particularly adept at socializing. Focusing exclusively on negative character traits can be self-defeating.

It is always possible to identify our strengths. By monitoring our positive behaviours, we can

It is important to develop in a positive direction. We must accept our shortcomings as well as our strengths. After all, nobody is perfect.

In the current digital age, there is a wealth of information available online. It is crucial to exercise discernment when selecting sources of information. I suggest exploring the book "General Psychology." It offers valuable insights and a comprehensive understanding of psychology.

For a more accessible overview, we recommend reading "Mr. Toad Goes to the Psychologist." This will help you understand the value and role of psychological counseling, giving you confidence in its effectiveness and in your ability to benefit from it.

There are two options that you are considering, but they involve financial investment and carry an element of risk. The questioner is uncertain and concerned about potential exploitation. Following your wife's discovery, she provided you with a detailed account of her concerns.

I can sense the confusion, helplessness, loneliness, anxiety, caution, and grievance of the questioner.

First, let me extend a supportive gesture to the questioner.

The questioner used a lot of negative words to describe themselves, and it seems that they are very insecure. In fact, in my view, the questioner is a very serious, hardworking person who is demanding of themselves.

If you define your life by whether it is suitable for the workplace, you may be disappointed. Only a handful of people can become executives. It requires the right time, place, and people. Most people are just ordinary members of society.

Many of the points you mentioned are actually situations that most people encounter.

Let us revisit the two specific questions you have raised:

1) Is a single personal consultation for 600 yuan a necessary expense?

2) Is it necessary to take skill enhancement courses?

Given the lack of information regarding your specific circumstances, it is challenging to provide the most optimal guidance. However, I can offer logical reasoning to assist you in making an informed decision.

Firstly, it is important to understand that the purpose of undertaking these two things is to improve my own situation. If the potential changes are uncertain and may even affect the positive aspects of my current situation, then I will proceed with caution. To put it simply, if a single 600 yuan consultation has no impact on my life and I believe there is a high probability that the counselor can help me solve my problem, then I will choose to invest this money. Conversely, if it has a significant impact on my life, I will have to accept the cost. And if I personally feel that there are unreasonable aspects of their rules and I am not sure whether it is worth spending this money, then I will choose carefully.

In a similar manner, I will also evaluate paid courses based on the aforementioned criteria.

Secondly, it appears that you are experiencing anxiety due to the salesperson's persistent urging to make a payment. Additionally, it seems that you may have difficulty declining requests from others. When you choose not to pay, you retain control of the situation. However, it is essential to remember that in an equal relationship, both parties have the freedom to make decisions. If you do not wish to proceed, you have the option to decline assertively. Ultimately, if you do not want to engage in a particular action, no one can force you to do so. The ability to avoid potential losses in advance when faced with risks is a valuable skill.

Thirdly, it appears that there is no suitable individual with whom you can discuss these issues. This is an issue that requires resolution. It is important to have a support system in place, which could be a spouse, parents, friends, or even an experienced stranger online. One solution could be to post on forums for help.

It is worth noting that there are numerous resources available online. With a little effort, you can find the basic introductory content you need in most cases. If you are interested in learning more, these channels can be a good place to start. Over time, you will be able to determine whether you require further learning.

Regarding offline counseling, I will offer two observations: 1. Regardless of whether counseling is conducted online or offline, the ultimate responsibility for change lies with the individual. Counselors serve as guides, assisting clients in making their own changes. 2. Identifying the optimal counseling approach for an individual is a complex process that requires ongoing exploration and experimentation.

I hope you can resolve this issue and identify a solution to enhance your personal development.

You're not alone in feeling confused and longing for self-improvement. I admire your determination to find a solution.

The descriptions clearly indicate that the problems can be divided into two categories: economic business improvement and self-identity emotional relief.

(1) Economic Business Improvement:

There are two main concerns when it comes to signing up for a course: 1. Unknown risks, not cheap

2. You will master the course content if you register.

My analysis is as follows:

The comprehensive course described in the question can meet your specific needs in two areas: thinking improvement and tool application.

1. Improve logical thinking in terms of financial literacy. It is important to understand that logical thinking is difficult to change significantly in a short period of time. What is improved is the skills and methods of thinking about problems. Therefore, we can start by reading books to understand the concepts. We can then refer to the recommended and rated book lists in the corresponding categories to make a choice.

2. Tool usage: You can find most of the usage methods of tools by searching for brief keywords on videos (apps/websites) or forums (apps/websites). If it is a less common software tool, you can search the official website of the software, which will have usage tutorials.

As the original poster did, you can also get answers from users in the corresponding field by asking your questions on the corresponding software or website.

Once you've learned the relevant knowledge, you'll have a better understanding of this comprehensive course. If the course doesn't end soon, you can register after you've gained a better understanding.

(2) Self-identification and emotional relief

You used some negative words to describe yourself in the title: "poor at socializing, introverted," "bursting with negative emotions."

First of all, these descriptions are strengths when viewed from a different perspective, and everyone has a different personality background.

"Poor social skills and a solitary personality": Focus on yourself, have your own pace, and don't go with the flow.

"Bursting with negative emotions": You have a strong ability to empathize, you're good at self-examination and adjusting yourself, you pay attention to details, and you strive to solve problems.

Consider your position in the workplace and identify additional strengths from a fresh perspective, complemented by professional expertise. These strengths could become your competitive edge.

Now that we have a more tolerant attitude towards ourselves, let's identify what kind of improvement we need.

You need to learn interpersonal skills. For example, you need to learn what kind of expression is more acceptable and how to express yourself with more confidence.

2. Learn healthy ways to release emotions. Let bad emotions be released in a healthy way before they build up and overflow.

Now that you know this, think about what specifically makes you unhappy. You can make yourself happy.

It is normal to have negative emotions. You will be better off if you do not suppress them. Understand the source and generation of your negative emotions more accurately. Feel the changes in yourself. These things will help you choose a counselor more effectively.

I am confident that this will be helpful to you. Thank you!

Hello, question asker! I'm Bai Li Yina, and I'm thrilled to be your respondent. I hope my reply can warm your heart and help you in any way I can!

The questioner describes himself as introverted, prone to negative emotions, unsociable, and solitary in the workplace, which is not conducive to career success. For this reason, he's eager to improve and change through counseling and training. Due to financial and practical considerations, none of the current options feel particularly suitable, and his family is not supportive. What an exciting opportunity for him to explore new options that will be a great fit for him!

[Situation analysis]

The questioner is eager to improve their current situation and has already taken action. This enthusiasm and idea are not wrong, but rather a kind of energy that wants to make their lives better. We can indeed gain a lot of different strengths from continuous learning to make ourselves better!

You want to do a great job, and you have the right idea about the course you've chosen. Let's look at the reasons:

1. Offline psychological counseling is too expensive and seems to be beyond your budget, but there are other options!

2. Online courses to improve skills, unclear teaching staff, lack of credibility, have paid half the fee, and are hesitant about whether to continue? You've taken the first step by paying half the fee! Now, you just need to decide whether to continue.

3. Your family seems unsupportive, which gives you the chance to grow and become stronger!

[Questions for deeper thought]

1. Have you been diagnosed with depression in the psychiatric department of a top-three hospital? You're ready to take control of your mental health and seek confirmation from a professional counselor.

2. If you think offline counseling is more expensive, have you considered online counseling? It could be a great option for you!

3. What would you love to improve most right now? Your psychological well-being or your skills?

I'd love to know which is more important to you!

4. How much are you willing to embrace the possibility of failure? If the training course does not have the desired effect, how much will this expenditure affect you?

[Recommended methods to try]

1. What inspired you to seek the guidance of a psychological counselor? That original intention is the reason you decided to take the plunge and try!

Everyone's motivation for change is different, as is the price they are willing to pay for change. But if you don't try and don't change, you'll never know how important this decision is to you—and it could be a very important one!

2. You've made the great choice to improve your skills! While there are unknowns, you know yourself best and have chosen this course because you feel it is particularly suitable for you. You're excited to see what you can achieve after you have completed the course and feel that you will have improved in certain areas. These expectations and your confidence in yourself will be your motivation to learn. If you learn with doubt and difficulty, it will not be a good start, but you can do this!

3. You were criticized after consulting and discussing with your family because you have not yet been exposed to consulting and have not benefited from it. But you will! And when you do, you'll communicate this with confidence in your communication, rather than with an uncertain and hesitant tone. And you'll get the support you need!

I really hope these methods help you!

Change takes time and patience, but it'll be worth it! Don't worry or be afraid. Many people are experiencing or have experienced similar problems, but you'll get through this!

The world and I are with you, and we're here to support you every step of the way! I wish you an early solution to the fog in your heart and the discovery of your own most comfortable state.

A huge thank you to everyone who has liked and commented on my posts! I wish you all peace and joy!

Dear friend, I appreciate your situation. It is understandable to feel uncertain when faced with a choice. Many people feel lost and anxious when pursuing personal growth and facing workplace challenges. Especially if you are an introvert and not good at socializing, finding the right path to growth and support is especially important.

You are facing a difficult choice between attending group counseling or enrolling in an individually run online course. It is commendable that you are trying to improve your situation and yourself.

Both options have the potential to be valuable, but they also come with certain risks.

It is up to you to decide whether to seek offline psychological counseling, based on your personal circumstances. Psychological counseling can provide a safe space for you to express your feelings and thoughts freely. At the same time, a professional psychological counselor can help you better understand your emotions and behavior patterns and find coping strategies that suit you better.

If you have any concerns about a depression diagnosis, counseling can be a valuable opportunity to explore and clarify.

Group counseling can be a wonderful opportunity to learn and grow with others who are facing similar challenges. It provides a safe environment where you can explore your feelings and patterns of behavior with the support and understanding of others.

However, the cost of group counseling may be a financial burden. In this case, you may wish to consider seeking free or low-cost counseling services.

When considering enrolling in a training institution that may be unfamiliar to you, it is important to approach the decision with careful consideration. While it is always beneficial to invest in one's own growth and development by acquiring new skills and knowledge, it is also crucial to ensure that the quality of the course and the professionalism of the teachers meet your expectations.

It would be wise to consider the background of the institution and the quality of the course before investing in any course or training. You might ask for more information about the course content, teaching methods, teaching staff, and feedback from past participants.

It would also be advisable to ensure that you have a clear understanding of the course content and learning objectives, so that you can gain something from the course even if it doesn't turn out as expected. You may wish to consider whether there are more economical ways to learn, such as public libraries, online open courses (MOOCs), etc.

In light of your emotional challenges, I empathize with your feelings of helplessness and confusion. Seeking assistance is a courageous act, not a sign of weakness.

You might consider talking to a trusted family member or friend, or perhaps finding a support group where you can talk to people who have experienced similar things. It can be very comforting and empowering to know that someone else has been in a similar situation.

No matter which path you choose, it's important to remember to give yourself some time and space. Change and growth often require time. You've already taken the first step towards seeking change, which is a positive start in itself.

You may find it helpful to trust your own judgment. You have the capacity to identify a path of growth that aligns with your needs and goals, and to make positive changes in your life.

It might be helpful to listen to a few more public lectures to get a sense of whether the teacher's level is understandable.

It is worth noting that the majority of these courses are virtual, and that refunds are not typically available once payment has been made. As a result, it is important to carefully consider the reasons for taking the course and whether it aligns with your expectations and needs.

Perhaps it would be helpful to consider whether this is a career plan to improve yourself.

You might find it helpful to seek advice and discuss your options with a counselor. It's possible that the subjects you choose will be more beneficial for you.

Hello, question asker! I'm June Lai Feng, and I'm here to help.

I totally get where you're coming from. I can relate to the anxiety you're feeling as a middle-aged person facing so many challenges.

I totally get it. You're worried about two things right now.

It's a good question! Do you think you might benefit from offline psychological counseling?

It's totally up to you whether you want to seek offline counseling. It can be really helpful when you feel like your emotions or psychological state are affecting your daily life and sense of well-being, like if you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or insomnia. It can also be a good idea when you're facing some challenges that you can't seem to solve on your own.

Face-to-face counseling is a great way to build a trusting relationship with your counselor and help them understand your emotions and experiences better. They can also provide personalized guidance and treatment plans based on your specific situation.

However, before making a decision, it's also a good idea to think about your financial situation, your schedule, and whether you're open to psychological counseling. If you can afford it, you can try online counseling or have an initial conversation with a counselor to decide whether you need offline services.

If you feel like you can handle things as they are, or that you can work through your emotions in other ways, like chatting with friends or exercising, then you might not need to seek psychological counseling right now. The most important thing is to take care of your mental health and get help when you need it.

The second thing you can do is sign up for a training program at an unknown institution (online courses that are run by the person teaching them).

It's great that you're eager to learn! However, in the situation you describe, I might advise you not to rush to sign up and pay just yet.

After all, it's so important to know all the details and risks of the course. You can always ask for more details about the course, such as the course content, teaching methods, and the background of the teacher.

If the provider can't or won't provide this information or gives vague answers, it might be time to think again.

You might also want to check out reviews or testimonials from other students to get a better idea of what the course is really like. Or you could consider looking for other courses that are more transparent and have clearer information.

Before you enroll, it's a great idea to find out about the course's refund policy. That way, you can rest assured that you'll be able to get a refund if the course doesn't meet your expectations.

It's also a good idea to be aware of all the costs involved, including any additional fees like material costs or examination fees.

If you feel pressured to enroll, don't worry! Just give yourself enough time to evaluate all the information.

If something doesn't feel right about the course, it's totally okay to trust your instincts and look into it further.

It's a great idea to think about taking a free trial class or asking for a short trial period to see if the course is right for you.

And finally, make a decision based on your own actual situation and needs. Don't let pressure or stress influence your decision. Investing in your own education and career development is important, but it should also be a wise and well-considered decision.

I really hope my account has been helpful for you!

I just wanted to say that I love you all so much, and I wish you all the best!

The amazing journey of self-growth and change is all about learning to truly love others and adapt to people and things. It's about enhancing your emotions and strengthening your relationships with others. It's an incredible process!

To truly love others is to wish them happiness and to mentally accept, forgive, and forgive everyone, the outstanding, the ordinary people, including the weak. If there are mistakes or shortcomings, then they can be corrected. Everyone has the right to happiness, no matter how close or distant the relationship is, whether it is right or wrong, gain or loss. We all hope that others can be happy and get better and better! People can bring mutual comfort and even joy to each other. It is good to love and accept others and oneself, to tolerate shortcomings and lack of ability, and to be kind at heart. That is, to be beneficial to others or society, not to dislike or reject ordinary people, not to be jealous or intolerant of outstanding people.

If you don't get along with most people, it can lead to negative energy and negative emotional problems. But don't worry! You can easily correct your energy field to find and have a loving and suitable relationship and career. And you can share and exchange what you see, hear, think, feel, or are interested in with others in real life and on the Internet, such as the Douban community.

And don't forget to love your life and be happy with the little things!

Your physical health is affected by negative energy, so it's important to keep your body comfortable and healthy! Give yourself a full-body massage to feel your best. The head massage includes the forehead and face, which also have meridians. Massage the head with deep, firm strokes, and massage the stomach with a firm massage brush. Do not massage the stomach on an empty stomach, and then take a walk!

If you have negative emotions, thoughts, or behaviors, you will not feel comfortable physically or mentally. But there's good news! You can change this. You can feel comfortable again. You can feel happy and fulfilled. You can feel at peace. You can feel like you're truly living your best life. It all starts with understanding that when you are too self-centered or pursue self-interest, you accumulate a lot of negative energy. The more self-centered you are, the more your magnetic field will be out of sync with other people's. But you can change this. You can learn how to truly love others and adapt to people and things. You can correct your energy field, resolve conflicts, improve your emotions and interpersonal relationships, and better solve the above problems. And it gets even better! If you know how to truly love the people and things in the world, you will not be too attached to love. You will not feel negative emotions such as separation anxiety and pain. You will not feel lacking inside. You will feel happiness. You will feel at peace. You will feel like you're truly living your best life.

And if necessary, they can also help those around them grow and change together!

The way in which excessive self-centeredness manifests itself varies from person to person: the psychological motivation to pursue self-satisfaction, striving for self or repressing self-deprecation to please others, blindly giving in order to gain, being afraid of losing, or disregarding the gains and losses of self-interest and emotions. Being too narcissistic or inferior, paying too much attention to oneself, generating pressure and worry, social phobia, being caught up in one's own emotions and thoughts, attaching too much importance to what others think of oneself, not accepting one's own shortcomings and deficiencies, forcing oneself to be perfect, being obsessive, controlling, possessing others or forcing others to satisfy oneself, otherwise resenting and being discontent, being unable to let go of oneself to forgive and forgive, brooding. All of these things are opportunities for growth and positive change!

If you only pursue the self, you will become anxious, depressed, and tired, and you may even be unable to adapt to the people and things in your school or workplace environment. But if you truly love others and adapt to people and things, you will naturally look down on the self and restore positive energy!

In short, go for it! Have good intentions, and do no harm to others. Because no one wants to suffer!

I understand your situation. It's normal to feel anxious and confused. Before making a decision, I have some advice:

If you feel your negative emotions and sense of isolation are affecting your daily life and work, counseling may help. A counselor can help you cope better. Although it may be expensive, you may want to try it once.

If you're thinking of enrolling in a new training program, make sure you weigh the pros and cons. The course might be a good fit for you, but there might be some risks because you don't know much about the school.

Before signing up, find out more about the school's reputation or ask other students for information. Also, ask the school for more details about the course and teacher.

You can also get online counseling. This is more flexible and lets you schedule it when it's good for you.

If your wife is against you seeking counseling, try to talk to her and explain why you want to do it.

Most importantly, don't ignore your feelings. Find a way to deal with stress. I hope you can find a solution that suits you, get out of trouble, and regain your balance and confidence.

Dear question asker,

From your description, it is evident that you are experiencing a state of inner confusion and helplessness. However, you also possess a notable capacity for perception, discerning the presence of an uncomfortable feeling and confronting it with courage.

You have been diagnosed with a tendency toward depression, yet you lack belief in your current life, which causes considerable distress. You seek assistance but are deterred by the prospect of online consultations and training programs that require payment. Financial constraints and the tendency for your partner to convey positive but not negative information contribute to your reluctance.

You feel adrift and ineffectual, unable to cope with the demands of daily life. Is that accurate?

After reading your description, I am able to comprehend the nuances of your emotional state with remarkable clarity. The field of psychology has witnessed a surge in popularity, accompanied by a proliferation of experts, institutions, and counselors. However, the process of identifying the most suitable psychological counselor and institution for one's needs often necessitates a meticulous and iterative approach, involving multiple consultations and even trial-and-error.

Indeed, recognizing these emotions in oneself and seeking discourse on them represents a significant step towards transformation.

Firstly, those seeking counseling may wish to consider local non-profit counseling services. Alternatively, counselors may be found on the Yixin platform or through local psychological societies, which could prove beneficial.

Secondly, it is advisable to exercise caution when considering institutions of learning, as many of these institutions lack the expertise to provide meaningful instruction. Instead, it is recommended to seek guidance from a local psychologist, who can impart knowledge about psychological techniques for self-healing. Additionally, the Yixin platform offers a wealth of resources for personal growth and development.

In the event that one encounters difficulties and is unable to obtain the requisite support and strength, it is recommended that one attempt to access this platform in order to locate an individual with whom one can engage in discourse or to join one of the numerous groups on the Psychological Platform, where one can receive encouragement from others.

In conclusion, it is important to note that individuals who have experienced healing in life are often willing to engage in the process of healing themselves. Your decision to seek support on this platform represents a significant step in this direction. Additionally, you may find it beneficial to explore other avenues of self-care, such as reading more psychology books, participating in book clubs, going for walks and engaging in physical exercise, and joining more social activities. Learning these skills can also be highly beneficial.

You suggest a few books that you believe may prove beneficial to you.

The following titles are recommended for further reading: "Mr. Toad Goes to the Psychologist," "Be Your Own Psychologist," "Psychological Nutrition," "The Brain's Code for Happiness," "Social Psychology," "The Courage to Be Disliked"

Hello. I'm Evan, a consultant in the school system.

From the questioner's description, I can tell they're feeling helpless, in pain, and negative. When faced with difficult choices, especially about money and mental health, it's important to think carefully.

It's not easy to see the questioner's difficulties. It's a difficult choice for the questioner. I'm glad the questioner has asked questions and sought help. This is the first step to changing his life.

If the questioner is introverted, has negative emotions, or has difficulty interacting at work, psychological counseling may help. Mental health is important. Professional psychological counseling can help with problems like depression.

If you have depression, get help. It's a disease that requires professional treatment. The cost of a single consultation is high, but it may help you improve your quality of life and interpersonal skills.

If you can't afford counseling, you can look for cheaper options like online counseling or group counseling. Some hospitals and community centers in China offer free or low-cost counseling.

Some public hotlines can help you find a good counselor. You can search online or ask friends and family for recommendations.

There is some risk in enrolling with an unknown training institution. Before enrolling, find out about the institution and teachers, the quality of teaching, and student feedback.

If you can't get this info, try taking a trial class or contacting the school. Before paying, read the school's history, learn about the teachers, and contact students to see what they think.

The institution should also be clear about payment plans and course content. If they are not, it may be a warning sign.

The questioner should think carefully before making any decisions. If the course is expensive, they can start with free or low-cost resources, such as MOOCs (massive open online courses), NetEase Open Courses, and other courses on these platforms. Many are provided by well-known universities.

If you're feeling distressed and your wife doesn't understand, try finding other ways to get help. You could join social groups or online communities to talk to people who understand.

The questioner can also try to improve themselves through self-study to better cope with challenges. If they still feel helpless, they can talk to someone, such as a family member or friend, or find a trusted psychological hotline.

In China, you can find free mental health hotlines online.

The idea of "self-cultivation" is important in traditional Chinese culture. It means improving one's moral and cultural qualities through learning and practice. The questioner should believe in their own choices and judgments, no matter what they decide.

The questioner should take part in counseling or training if they want to. Either way, they should work on improving themselves. Life is full of chances to learn and grow. When things get tough, they should face the challenge head-on. And they should learn from their mistakes.

I hope the questioner can find a way to grow.

I hope these suggestions help.

The questioner's inner conflict, anxiety, and unease are palpable. The high cost of online counseling and courses presents a significant financial challenge for the questioner, whose financial support is somewhat insufficient. The potential risks of online counseling and courses are also a cause for concern, particularly given the lack of transparency and the possibility of being cheated.

It is therefore understandable that one might experience feelings of conflict and distress.

It is challenging to make sweeping generalizations about online counseling and courses. Some teachers are adept at teaching and counseling, while others excel in one area but may not be as proficient in the other. Some teachers may lack the necessary qualifications to provide effective guidance, yet they are driven by a desire to help others. Unfortunately, there are also instances where individuals with limited or no psychological knowledge attempt to deceive and exploit visitors by offering false or misleading advice. The spectrum of situations is vast.

Consequently, when seeking an appropriate online counselor, it is advisable to utilize a formal and reputable platform, such as Yi Xinli. In comparison to other platforms, Yi Xinli is the most formal and has been assisting visitors for the longest duration. It has been operational for over seven years, and a considerable number of its counselors are highly competent. Additionally, the pricing is highly flexible, allowing visitors to select a plan that aligns with their specific needs.

It is this author's opinion that if the inquirer desires to resolve the issue that is troubling them, they may wish to consider seeking out a suitable teacher on the platform to receive psychological counseling. As for some courses, the platform offers information about them. The inquirer may wish to speak with the platform's customer service to learn more about the course packs and then make a purchase if they feel it is a suitable option. This allows the inquirer to resolve the issue at hand without concern for financial matters or the possibility of being misled.

I can totally relate to how overwhelming and confusing this situation must be for you. It's important to consider your mental health, and while group counseling could be a more affordable option, it's crucial that you feel comfortable with the choice. Maybe start by exploring free or lowcost community resources, like support groups or online forums, where you can share experiences with others who understand what you're going through.

Considering your concerns about the unknown training institution, I would advise being cautious. The lack of transparency about the instructor's background and the pressure to pay in full are red flags. It might be wise to look for alternatives from established educational platforms or institutions with verified reviews. Your desire for selfimprovement is commendable, but it's equally important to ensure that you're investing in a legitimate and beneficial opportunity.

It sounds like you're feeling very isolated and unsure about whom to trust. Reaching out for professional help, even if just to have an initial consultation, can provide clarity. You don't have to make any commitments right away; sometimes just talking things through with a neutral party can help you sort out your feelings and make more informed decisions. Remember, it's okay to seek support, and finding someone who will listen without judgment can be incredibly healing.
