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

Chapter 28 The Diversity of Emotional Counseling (Please continue reading)
"Teacher, I want to have an affair!"

The third visitor appeared to be around thirty years old, a woman.

The visitors today all seemed to have a strong desire to communicate, which is quite fortunate.

"Teacher, I want to have an affair!" the female visitor emphasized for the second time.

With her strong ability to manage her facial expressions, Nan Zhuren managed to appear attentive without seeming offensive.

Nan Zhuren asked, "Why do you have this idea?"

This question aroused an even stronger desire in the visitor to confide in them.

My husband is a virgin!

Nan Zhuren pursed her lips.

“He was a virgin before he married me and had never been in a relationship.” The client pursed her lips. “At first, I thought that was great, that he was clean, but later I found that he was so unromantic and dull!”

Nan Zhuren thought for a moment: "...Has he done anything to betray your marriage, something you can't tolerate?"

"No, I just think he's so boring." The client was very excited. "Teacher, let me tell you, I've even found someone to cheat with—my ex-boyfriend. We've started chatting again recently, and he's really good at making me happy..."

"Have you thought about divorce? Do you know that if your current behavior is discovered, it will be devastating to your marriage?"

The visitor paused, then said, "I don't want a divorce. My husband is actually quite good to me... but I'm prepared, and I absolutely won't be found out! Teacher, please listen to me..."

The female visitor had a strong urge to confide in him, and immediately began to explain to Nan Zhuren how she planned to evade her husband's investigation and successfully carry out her affair.

Nan Zhuren's face also began to grow paler. He would rather be in the first consultation of the day and continue to be a dumping ground for negative emotions.

After a long while, the visitor finally realized why he had come.

She asked hesitantly, still wanting more, "Teacher, what do you think of my idea?"

Okay, okay, you insist on asking, right?

Nan Zhuren took a deep breath: "You want me to give you advice on your choice of whether or not to cheat?"

"Correct!"

Nan Zhuren put on a stern face: "You didn't come here to ask for advice!"

“You’re not here for advice. You already made up your mind before you came to me for consultation. No matter what answer I give, you will make the same choice. You just want validation and my support. Because you already know that this kind of thing will have devastating consequences, you want support so that you can shift the blame onto others after a tragedy occurs!”

After speaking at length, Nan Zhuren took a slight breath.

The female visitor thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up: "Teacher, do you agree with my choice?"

Nan Zhuren: "..."

……

11: 20.

Nan Zhuren first covered his chest for a while, then clenched his fist and held it to his mouth.

He felt some physical discomfort.

Suddenly, he felt a gaze directed at him.

Looking up, I saw Weng Pingting standing at the office door.

After noticing that Nan Zhuren had noticed him, Supervisor Weng greeted him casually and then disappeared.

“Teacher Nan!” Shen Bing suddenly appeared.

He drew Nan Zhuren's attention back, "This visitor seemed rather dissatisfied..."

Nan Zhuren nodded firmly: "She will definitely not come back. Even if she does, we must not take her in. Transfer her to another counselor."

"Huh?" Shen Bing looked troubled, not knowing why the situation had taken such a sharp turn for the worse. The first consultation that morning had been a great success, but the second and third consultations had taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the conversion rate had suddenly dropped.

"Is this visitor's problem very serious? More serious than something like depression, and could it cause us trouble?"

Nan Zhuren nodded, his face pale: "It's not just depression that's considered 'serious,' but this is indeed 'serious' in a way you can't imagine, and it will cause 'trouble' you can't imagine."

As an assistant, Shen Bing could only accept the consultant's decision.

But after flipping through the files he had on hand, his expression quickly returned to one of anticipation: "There was one last male visitor this morning, in his thirties, seeking advice on relationship issues."

Shen Bing encouraged, "Teacher Nan, this is your strong zone. Keep it up and turn this visitor into a case study!"

Nan Zhuren pursed her lips.

Actually, all four visitors this morning came to consult about relationship problems.

Including the three visitors I received earlier, five out of the seven visitors came for relationship advice.

It fully reflects the market.

……

11: 30.

Nan Zhuren mustered his spirits and faced the last visitor.

This is a man who looks to be around thirty years old. His clothes are somewhat disheveled, and he has dark circles under his eyes, but he is very energetic.

"Teacher, I've seen the Informed Consent Form we signed before. Everything we say here is confidential, right?"

Nan Zhuren smiled: "That's right, it's absolutely confidential, you can trust me."

The man's eyes hardened instantly: "Teacher, I want to kill someone!"

Nan Zhuren's smile froze.

"Last night I even bought a knife and waited downstairs for two hours, but he still didn't show up!"

Nan Zhuren skillfully managed her facial expressions and emotions.

The man continued, "He...seduce my wife. My wife is a teacher at a training institution, and he's the legal advisor for that institution. I didn't realize it at first, but then...they started having an affair!"

Nan Zhuren swallowed hard, looking at the other person's expression.

“My wife regretted it afterwards and cried, begging me to forgive her. I made her quit her job, confiscated her phone, and locked her in the house. But, but…” The man’s eyes reddened as he spoke.

Those bloodshot eyes were filled with veins.

"That man even called and messaged me! He told me to be sensible and threatened me to release my wife!"

The man spoke faster and faster: "He said that although he's shorter and uglier than me, he owns two houses in Beijing left to him by his parents, so he's inherently better off than me. Now I've bought a new house, I'm not only burdened with a mortgage, but I also live with my parents. He said that someone like me doesn't deserve such a good wife!"

“He said he was the only one worthy of my wife, that he had a way to get her out of the house, and that I was breaking the law. He said that if we separated for a while, he would find a way to make my wife divorce me.”

The man began to breathe heavily: "He calls me and texts me every now and then, smugly showing off, mocking me, insulting me... I can't take it anymore, teacher! I'm going to kill him!"

"He thought he knew the law, he thought he knew the rules, and he could do whatever he wanted with my family. But he could never have imagined the choice I've made!"

His eyes looked like those of a cornered beast driven to desperation.

The expression on his face stung Nan Zhuren.

Nan Zhuren took a deep breath: "Think about your family..."

Before he could finish speaking, the man suddenly looked up, his eyes, brimming with emotion, fixed intently on Nan Zhuren:
“Teacher Nan, that man… said something similar. He said that divorce is the best choice for me and my family!”
