The world through the eyes of a psychologist


Psychologists see the world from a different perspective than someone who has no knowledge. Many people say that you don’t have to be a psychologist to understand others and their situations because that experience are so common that most people go through them and know how to deal with them. Many others say that psychologists always find the five foot to the cat and living diagnosing worldwide. What people do not talk about is how fascinating it can be to know the mind of a criminal, see his background, see why it is one way or another. The people will see it as an excuse for not complying jail but psychologists see it as an opportunity for a person to deal with your inner self and the diseases they may have. I am not justifying the murderers or rapists, just say that we all have the right to treatment if there is any disease in our system. A recent example I can take and that perfectly reflects my point of view is the famous trilogy by E.L. James Fifty Shades of Grey. Many read it in order to focus only on sex or because is extremely explicit, in contrast to psychology these books are a gem. This trilogy tells the story of a handsome billionaire man who knows a simple woman and which aims to establish a sadomasochistic relationship with her. Throughout the reading we see that the character of Christian Grey is falling in love with the character of Anastasia Steele to the point of setting aside part of what he is for love; of course, he don’t leave it. This plot is interesting because through the reading we know why the protagonist acts and is like he is. Is interesting that he is the way he is because he have a trauma since he was little which lead him to be as it is at present. As mentioned earlier, psychologists see the world differently, we can see beyond the surface, we can see beyond the look and discover a world that just begins to know: the human mind.

Why psychology?


Usually, people ask why you love what you are studying or why you choose what you're studying. When they asked me I answer that I decided to study psychology the first thing that people do is pout and say that I will not get work. Despite being a difficult field, psychology offers benefits when we face life and its difficulties. For example, psychology helps us better understand why people behave the way they behave, when I be out of the classroom and have to face someone or some particular situation it will be a little less difficult to understand what the people are passing and understand the views of the people involved. Another benefit that comes with the passage of time and with practice is whether a person is lying or not. When faced with situations where we do not know the people involved is useful to know if the person is lying or not to offer better support and be clear on what is happening.
When people ask me why I like psychology my answer is: I like to help people solve their problems, I've always liked that the people I love see me as a person in which they may turn to for help or some comforting words. I like that people can trust me. Another reason why I like psychology is because somebody once told me that for help others first you had to help yourself and thanks to psychology I could understand myself better and I could deal with my emotions. This way I feel that I am ready to continue learning how to deal with the society in which we live.
