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

Chapter 193: The emotional state of contemporary college students is also a matter of great concern.

Time: 16:00 PM.

Nan Zhuren calmed himself down.

Recently, apart from the high-density consultations arranged by Weng Pingting when I first joined Yannuo Center.

Nan Zhuren never conducted such back-to-back continuous consultations again.

One reason is that the consultation volume at Yannuo Center doesn't allow it, and another is that no normal counselor would do such a thing unless they're mentally unstable.

It was only because of Nan Zhuren's "emotional readjustment" that she tried to do this.

In other words, Nan Zhuren also had no similar experience.

This caused Nan Zhuren to not be able to adjust her mindset immediately during the consultation, and she almost kept her thoughts on Zhuang Junzhe's consultation.

The atmosphere of the previous consultation almost interfered with the next one.

Although it didn't ultimately affect the quality of the consultation, it was still a minor mistake.

However, now that he has mastered "emotional readjustment," he knows that there may be more and more opportunities for such high-intensity counseling in the future, so Nan Zhuren feels that he still needs to train his coping skills.

It would be a waste of energy to immediately perform an "emotional readjustment" after just one consultation, and Nan Zhuren didn't want to rely entirely on his magic touch.

He also wanted to use the consultation to improve his own qualities as much as possible.

By utilizing one's own counseling skills to adjust one's mindset to a certain extent, one can strive to use "emotional readjustment" only once every two or even three counseling sessions, thus maximizing the use of resources.

This is the goal that Nan Zhuren set for himself.

Once he became proficient, Nan Zhuren even wanted to challenge himself to provide full-attendance consultations from nine in the morning until nine at night.

As far as Nan Zhuren knew, this was a feat that no one in the entire industry had ever accomplished!

“As for now,” Nan Zhuren took a deep breath, “I’m ready.”

"Try to do two consultations in a row first, then [readjust emotions]!"

dong dong dong-

"Please come in," Nan Zhuren said loudly.

The door opened, and a girl with a haggard face entered.

[She had delicate features and wore no makeup.]

She has light dark circles under her eyes, and there's some redness and swelling around her eyes.

Nan Zhuren had several guesses in mind, so he braced himself and took the situation seriously.

……

After understanding the basic information of the usual procedures, quickly move on to the main points of the consultation.

"Teacher, my problem... is related to my boyfriend."

Nan Zhuren nodded slightly. "It's an emotional issue."

The idea of Yan Nuo Psychological Center transforming into an emotional counseling center has been met with strong opposition from many counselors.

However, counselors themselves are not averse to the broad category of "emotional issues".

For example, issues such as "difficulty in intimate relationships due to problems in one's family of origin," "emotional violence," "paranoid disorder," and "sex addiction" are all issues that deserve serious attention and counseling.

What counselors despise are those so-called "consultations" that use the names of "emotional counseling" or even "psychological counseling" but actually teach others how to pursue the opposite or same sex, how to manipulate their partners, or how to win back their ex after a breakup.

I don't know what the problem is for this student visitor.

The visitor slowly recounted, "Well, recently my boyfriend and I... had some conflicts, and now my studies and life have become very difficult."

"I was thinking that seeing a therapist for counseling might make me feel better..."

Nan Zhuren nodded inwardly. He was just afraid the girl would come asking him "how to maintain a good relationship."

Being able to focus on "making myself feel better" indicates that one possesses considerable strength.

Nan Zhuren tried to guide the conversation further: "You said you've had some conflicts with your boyfriend recently. What kind of conflicts are they?"

The visitor made a reminiscing expression.

"Well, my boyfriend and I met right when school started, and we got together before military training was even over. We've only been together for a few months now..."

Nan Zhuren didn't speak, but just kept nodding to show that she was listening attentively.

"Then, a while ago, I found out he was... having an ambiguous relationship with another 'person,' and I was very angry. But he quickly realized his mistake, came to apologize to me, and even deleted that person from his contacts in front of me. We made up..."

Nan Zhuren nodded, a few new guesses forming in his mind.

At the same time, he noticed that the visitors emphasized the word "people" when they spoke of it.

It seems this third party is a key figure. Either this person has a significant impact on the visitor, or this person has a rather special status.

Nan Zhuren noted this question on the consultation form in his hand, intending to put it aside for the time being and let the client piece together the story himself. He guided the question by asking, "It sounds like the outcome was pretty good, but you still feel unresolved emotions as a result, which are affecting your life?"

"No, what's hard to get rid of isn't the emotions, but 'that person'."

Somewhat unexpectedly, before Nan Zhuren could even ask any questions, the visitor himself steered the conversation to this topic.

The girl shook her head: "She wasn't satisfied and kept bothering my boyfriend. Afterwards, she even asked me to meet up and advised me to break up with my boyfriend as soon as possible, saying that I was just a kid and that campus romances wouldn't last long, and that I should let her have a better guy..."

Nan Zhuren raised his eyebrows, dismissing several of his guesses, and felt that the situation was now quite clear.

The more you care about something, the harder it is to stay rational, and you may even "lose your intelligence" in a common sense. This is why many people in love do stupid things.

The problem this girl is talking about might seem ridiculous from an objective third-person perspective, but from a first-person perspective, there are many possibilities.

Nan Zhuren tried to guide the visitor to explore herself: "Did her words affect you?"

The visitor nodded: "Yes, it had a big impact... It wasn't just her words, she also did some things; it didn't just affect my emotions, it also affected my studies and life."

Nan Zhuren nodded and continued to guide the discussion: "How will it have an impact?"

The girl lowered her head and pursed her lips: "That person... is my counselor."

Nan Zhuren suddenly stopped nodding.

……

Time: 16:56 PM.

The visitor left three minutes ago.

Nan Zhuren rubbed his brows, feeling as if his brows were frozen, tightly furrowed.

"Click—" A door opened, and Xia Tian came in again, carrying warm water.

It's likely that seeing Nan Zhuren hadn't left for a while, he couldn't resist coming in to check on things.

"Teacher Nan, are you alright?"

Nan Zhuren did not respond immediately. He was considering whether the visitor was an exception to the confidentiality rule and whether he should ask Xia Tian to remind the visitor's college through the Jiangda Center.

But after thinking about it, he still said, "It's nothing."

In summary, exposing the counselor's actions would do more harm than good to the visitor.

Especially when the visitor does not yet have a strong desire to resist, sudden external intervention may cause other greater damage.

This presents a significant dilemma in counseling ethics: if you intervene, it may not only be ineffective, but you might even do more harm than good; if you don't intervene, you will be tormented by your own conscience.

After all, psychological counseling is not a mechanical job. Most people who can do this job well are people with high moral character.

It's easy for internal conflicts to arise.

"However... you should still contact this girl afterwards, just like the usual follow-up interview intervals."

Fortunately, the school's counseling services offer some privileges that are not available outside, at least allowing them to know about the other person's subsequent situation.

If there are any problems, follow up promptly.

Summer quickly wrote it down.

Then——

[Emotional readjustment]

Nan Zhuren breathed a sigh of relief, then sighed again.

This shot ultimately couldn't be saved.

However, this has temporarily relieved the psychological pressure brought about by moral condemnation.

This will not interfere with the subsequent consultation.

……

Time: 17:03 PM.

This was the last visitor of the afternoon.

Even though the visitor put a lot of pressure on Nan Zhuren, she was able to rest during the hour between 18:00 PM and 19:00 PM afterwards.
