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

Chapter 204 Important Visitors

In psychology, the humanistic school is one of the four major schools of thought, along with behaviorism, psychoanalysis, and cognitive psychology.

From a theoretical perspective, humanism in psychological counseling emphasizes three points: "valuing the dignity and worth of the client," "valuing the client's potential for self-actualization," and "valuing the client's subjective experience."
In practice, counselors are required to be "client-centered," "empathetic and absolutely sincere," and "non-directive counseling."

This style of counselor constantly uses methods such as support and positive regard to guide clients to understand and discover themselves.

In other words, the humanistic approach to counseling is the approach that provides the best counseling experience for clients.

It has a remarkable effect on Wang Sui now.

Of course, it is important to note here that the "miraculous effect" refers to treating Wang Sui as a "problem," rather than as a "visitor."

"Do you think this is okay?" came Weng Pingting's question from the other end of the phone.

Nan Zhuren nodded: "This is the best option for Wang Sui's current transference problem. I will change my counseling style after the situation stabilizes and Wang Sui becomes my client."

The humanistic approach to counseling, which centers entirely on the client, completely relegates the counselor to a secondary position.

The counselor's role is only to guide and support.

However, if the client has a particularly stubborn way of thinking or is otherwise unsuitable for the "humanistic" approach, the counseling process can easily run into difficulties.

In other words, using humanism to intervene in Wang Sui's case is essentially treating "intervening in Wang Sui" as part of "Li Minglu's intervention plan," with the ultimate goal still being Li Minglu.

If we truly consider Wang Sui as a client, then she is clearly not the type of client for whom humanistic therapy is appropriate.

In everything, one must make choices.

"After all, we still need to focus on Li Minglu right now," Nan Zhuren concluded.

Weng Pingting on the other end of the phone agreed.

"What if Li Minglu doesn't come for the next consultation because of Liu Pan's phone call?" Weng Pingting then asked.

The counselor must consider all possibilities, especially the worst-case scenario.

Nan Zhuren thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll contact Li Minglu directly. Based on the counseling relationship I established with him before, I can try to guide him to the counseling room."

How do you plan to contact him?

“He didn’t leave his contact information at the center, but I can try to find a roundabout way. We now know that Li Minglu is also an alumnus of Jiangnan University, and he was initially introduced to Lin Lilin by a professor from the Academy of Fine Arts; perhaps I can contact that professor from the Academy of Fine Arts and find a way to get Li Minglu’s phone number.”

Weng Pingting nodded: "As long as you know what I mean."

……

Upon hearing this reaction, Nan Zhuren raised an eyebrow.

Since deciding to resign from Yan Nuo Psychological Center, Weng Pingting has become much more flexible about her bottom line.

After hearing Nan Zhuren's intention to contact the visitor in this roundabout way, she didn't even think of stopping him.

However, it makes sense when you think about it. After all, according to Weng Pingting herself, when she was in the capital, she was capable of doing things that absolutely violated industry rules, such as "helping her daughter who was sexually assaulted to report to the police and sending her beastly father to prison." Her professional ethics are quite flexible.

No, or rather, compared to the rigid counseling ethics applicable to novice and junior counselors, at Weng Pingting's level, she already has the confidence to use a deeper level of professional ethics.

Just like those few doctors who are willing to pay for their patients' medical expenses in advance.

Whether this behavior is right or wrong is hard to say.

but--

"Let's leave it at that for now," Nan Zhuren said definitively.

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, followed by a soft laugh.

The laughter was hearty, carefree, and relaxed, making even the usually stern Nan Zhuren smile. "Do you know what I'm laughing at? You're laughing along?"

However, Weng Pingting's smile quickly came to an abrupt end. Nan Zhuren could even imagine Weng Pingting's face suddenly hardening as if she had changed her expression on the other end of the phone.

Nan Zhuren immediately asked humbly, "What is Sister Pingting laughing at?"

"Li Minglu's matter is clearly a serious business for the company, but instead you're sitting in the psychological center at Jiangda University, remotely controlling company affairs by phone. Don't you find that ridiculous?"

“Even though I’ve decided to resign, and you can’t stay, we’re still receiving Yan Nuo’s salary, right? Do you think that’s reasonable? You…”

Nan Zhuren silently pulled the phone a little further away, his thumb hovering over the screen as if he wanted to hang up.

But after thinking about it, he sighed and didn't do it.

Instead, he waited until the voice on the other end of the phone became quieter and eventually disappeared before slowly taking the phone back.

"Yes Yes Yes……"

……

The teacher in charge of the center blinked as she watched Nan Zhuren return after receiving a phone call.

Why does Teacher Nan seem even more tired after going out to answer a phone call?

No, that doesn't seem quite right either, even though her face looks tired.

However, the emotions conveyed by Teacher Nan's body language actually made him seem a little more cheerful.

Strange...

Perhaps because the teachers in charge of the center were observing too openly, they involuntarily leaned forward and stared intently. Nan Zhuren suddenly turned around and gave them a puzzled look.

"what happened?"

The teacher in charge of the center was suddenly taken aback.

Teacher Li, standing to the side, secretly showed a look of disgust. Couldn't this person even understand how to peek properly?

"Ah..." Fortunately, the teacher in charge of the center was quick-witted. "Teacher Nan, you look very tired. You've even managed to fall asleep today."

He was referring to the short nap Nan Zhuren took before answering the phone.

Nan Zhuren gave a concerned smile: "I'm fine."

That smile seemed to encourage the teacher in charge at the center, so he subconsciously said, "It looks like these past three days have really worn you out. But it's alright, tomorrow is the weekend, and we don't have any consultations scheduled on weekends, so you can get some rest...?"

The teacher in charge of the center was trying to comfort her, but unexpectedly saw a disappointed look on Nan Zhuren's face.

【No, just how much do you enjoy consulting?】

Is it really just a consulting machine?

At this rate, you won't even be able to maintain a "relatively normal" evaluation!

Nan Zhuren quickly composed herself and smiled, "It's not that I'm really tired, but the next visitor... is very important, so I want to adjust my state as much as possible."

　I forgot to set a timer; I just realized the second update wasn't posted.

　　Sorry, sorry...
