Considering the nature of the work itself, there are two obvious differences between lawyers and counselors:
First, lawyers pay more attention to thinking and logic, emphasizing rational thinking and strict logical argumentation; Although psychological counselors also need to think rationally, analyze and solve problems, they pay more attention to perceptual thinking, emotional ability and enthusiasm and love that bring warmth and hope to others.
Secondly, the lawyer's job is to be in an environment full of conflicts and opposites, which requires emotional stability and super emotional control ability, and the spirit of being able to resist pressure and take the initiative to fight for it; Psychological counselors, in a relatively harmonious and warm environment, pay attention to cooperation and mutual assistance, and it is easier to win understanding and respect than fighting and confrontation.
But they also have similarities, for example, they all need agile thinking ability, communication ability and strong emotional intelligence, because they are all jobs dealing with people.
