The profession of lawyer seems glamorous, but there is huge psychological pressure hidden behind it, and even complex psychological problems arise as a result.
First, lawyers need to face ethical dilemmas. Their duty is to serve the interests of their clients and defend criminal suspects, which may mean defending controversial cases or parties who endanger society, thus triggering pressure and accusations from society.
Second, the profession of lawyer is subject to legal risks at any time. In order to protect the rights and interests of clients, lawyers need to pay attention to legal revisions at any time and study the legal provisions in depth. Making a mistake in court can lead to serious legal consequences.
Thirdly, lawyers are also at risk of multiple complaints. In the course of practice, lawyers' words and deeds represent the interests of different subjects, or affect the perceptions of different subjects. Therefore, lawyers may face complaints from different entities such as clients, counterparties, and judicial organs because of their professional conduct.
In addition, lawyers also need to deal with professional pressures. In order to maintain client relationships and obtain more cases, lawyers need to invest a lot of energy in communication, negotiation and networking. This stress not only affects the productivity of lawyers, but also their mental health.
Finally, there is the pressure of personal space for lawyers. During the practice period, lawyers are basically in a 7*24 hours work standby state, especially with the popularization of digital office conditions, WeChat, email, etc. can send work instructions to lawyers at any time, and lawyers have to deal with them in a timely manner.
In recent years, more and more lawyers have begun to pay attention to their mental health and mental health, and have begun to seek professional help.
Paying attention to the professional mental health of lawyers means paying attention to the future of a society governed by the rule of law and the guardians of justice.
We hope that all lawyers can receive timely help and care, and have the ability and compassion to jointly safeguard social fairness and justice.
