Who would study psychology if they didn't have some kind of problem?

Chapter 192 I can still take on ten more
The moment those words were spoken, there was an immediate reaction.

Nan Zhuren saw a senior female teacher around thirty-five years old and replied, "I just arrived, but Teacher Xue arrived a long time ago."

Another young female teacher, around twenty-five years old, waved her hand and said, "I came here today because I have a consultation. Teacher Bai heard that you were coming and came specifically because of that."

It turns out they are "Teacher Xue" and "Teacher Bai".

Nan Zhuren nodded inwardly, matching the appearance with the title, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved upward a little more from his usual social smile.

Suddenly, both teachers' phone screens lit up.

[Teacher Ye: It's fine as soon as you leave the consultation room. This means that the two consecutive hours of consultation have exhausted him, and he urgently needs to relax.]

[Teacher Ye: That's normal. What professional counselor wants to stay in the consultation room all the time? After my consultation, I don't want to stay there for even a second longer. No matter how soft the sofa is, it's not as comfortable as an office chair.]

[Teacher Li: Keep it up, Teacher Bai! Teacher Xiao Nan is also most easily influenced at this time.]

Teacher Xue and Teacher Bai exchanged a glance and nodded.

Nan Zhuren walked straight to his workstation, took out the consultation record form that was already filled out, and then took a blank new form and put it into the folder in his hand.

Taking the opportunity, Teacher Bai asked, "Teacher Xiao Nan, how did the two consultations go?"

Nan Zhuren's expression clearly showed that he was under pressure from the consultation. Teacher Bai planned to use this topic as an opportunity to get him to revise his opinions and reduce the number of consultations.

The counselor is quite good at finding entry points.

Nan Zhuren thought for a moment and then spoke of some confidential exceptions: "They are all fine. They are just general psychological problems, or even just 'life confusion' that are not psychological problems. They do not reach the level of mental illness."

Colleagues often exchange case studies, and Nan Zhuren thought that perhaps these two teachers also wanted to start a conversation with him again after not seeing him for a long time.

He had seen this situation many times.

From a social point of view, he didn't neglect the two too much—just in case they needed help in the future.
"The first client was anxious because the mindset he had developed since childhood was no longer applicable due to the change in environment; then there might also be some deep-seated family issues. It felt pretty good to work with him, and I was even able to get some healing effects from it myself."

"The second visitor was a simple young man who liked to overthink things. You could even say he had no problems at all, but—talking to him was extremely tiring."

As he spoke, Nan Zhuren couldn't help but rub his temples.

Teacher Xue smoothly continued the conversation: "Extremely tired?"

Nan Zhuren thought for a moment and said, "At first I thought it was something like 'fear of intimacy,' but later I found that her thinking patterns were generally normal, she had no traumatic experiences, her family conditions were quite good in many ways, and she did not show any extreme negative emotions during the consultation process."

"Later we found that it was just young people's confusion about the next stage of life, such as 'marriage' and 'having children'. Young people have no experience in the next stage of life, so they need to form their own understanding through external information; but now there is too much and too complicated information from the outside world, and the visitors themselves are not able to properly sort out this information at this stage, so they are stuck."

"The main consultation process involved trying to use gentle wording to provide 40 minutes of instruction."

Compared to the highly cooperative and goal-oriented approach of Zhuang Junzhe's counseling, the second client might actually be more challenging for the counselor. This is because such clients tend to be more active in their thinking, have more varied topics of conversation, and experience greater emotional fluctuations. Therefore, counseling with this type of client often tests not just the counselor's skills, but also their life experience, personality, and emotional stability.

For counselors, resolving a "psychological problem" that can be addressed with specific counseling techniques is far easier than dealing with a "life dilemma" that relies on personal qualities guidance.

Upon hearing Nan Zhuren's description, the two counselors immediately understood.

Teacher Bai successfully seized upon the topic she had steered the conversation: "In that case, next—"

As soon as she finished speaking, all that remained in Teacher Bai's eyes was Nan Zhuren's back.

After putting down what he was holding, the young counselor left the office without looking back and headed towards the consultation room.

Teacher Bai: ? ? ? Didn't I say I should rest in the office for a while if I was tired? ? ?
Teacher Xue quickly urged, "Nan Zhuren, won't you rest a little longer?"

"I'm going to rest in the consultation room."

As the last words fell, Nan Zhuren's figure had completely disappeared. Teacher Bai and Teacher Xue looked at each other in bewilderment.

Their phone screens lit up together.

[Teacher Ye: How is the situation?]

[Teacher Bai: We barely spoke. He came in, put something down, and then left.]

[Teacher Li: What did you put in?]

[Teacher Xue: Consultation Record Form.]

The consultation record sheet is something that counselors bring into the consultation room during consultations. It is used to record the client's situation in real time to prevent oversights of details. At the same time, if the counselor has any consultation ideas, they can also write them down on paper in a timely manner to reduce the mental burden.

[Teacher Ye: Is it possible that Teacher Xiao Nan went back to the office simply to replace a record sheet, because she was worried that the previous visitor's record sheet would be seen by the next visitor, causing a negative impact?]

[Teacher Li: Does that mean he doesn't need to rest at all? Or does he prefer to rest in the consultation room?]

[Teacher Ye: Which counselor would like to rest in the consultation room?]

is it possible?

Teacher Xue and Teacher Bai both fell silent for a moment.

[Teacher Xue: It's no use trying to persuade Teacher Xiaonan during the intervals between consultations. So we'll just have to see when he experiences a physiological reaction during the consultation, and then we'll stop it in time. We might even have to take over his clients next...sigh...]

[Teacher Ye: For the sake of the students, we can't let them come in and say the counselor can't handle it anymore and stop counseling, can we?]

[Teacher Li: I don't know which child arranged the consultation; they were just messing around with Teacher Xiao Nan.]

Teacher Xue: Okay, let's wait a little longer then.

[Teacher Bai: It's not a big problem. Given Teacher Xiao Nan's current condition, she might not be able to handle the next consultation...]

Teacher Xue and Teacher Bai exchanged a glance and sighed.

The teacher in charge of the center looked at the interaction between the two with some strangeness, feeling as if she had missed something.

"Teacher Bai, Teacher Xue, you should think of a solution." He was worried, feeling that he had to take responsibility. "I'm worried that Teacher Nan will run into trouble if things continue like this."

“I just noticed that his mental state is not right. He might have problems after the next consultation.”

……

Inside the consultation room.

Nan Zhuren rubbed his temples, feeling a slight pulse starting to throb there.

With a thought, I pressed a switch in my mind.

[Mental readjustment]

A slight feeling of fatigue washed over me, but the psychological stress from the two consultations I had just received vanished in an instant.

Nan Zhuren breathed a long sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and his mind became light again.

He stretched his neck energetically: "Then let's get ready for the next one."

　There was a slight issue with the chapter order just now, but it's been corrected.
