Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!-Chapter 191 - 189: The Emotional State of Contemporary College Students is Also Worth Noting

Chapter 191: Chapter 189: The Emotional State of Contemporary College Students is Also Worth Noting

Time, 4:00 PM.

Nan Zhubin steadied his mind.

Recently, except for when he first joined the Yan Nuo Center and was scheduled for high-density consultations by Weng Pinting.

Nan Zhubin hadn’t done such back-to-back continuous consultations again.

One reason was that the consultation volume at Yan Nuo Center didn’t allow it, and another was that no normal consultant without some mental issue would do it this way.

It was because Nan Zhubin had [Emotion Rebalancing] that he dared to attempt it.

In other words, Nan Zhubin had no similar experience.

This made his state of mind in the previous consultation not adjust in time, and he almost left his thoughts lingering on Zhuang Junzhe’s consultation.

The atmosphere from the previous consultation nearly interfered with the next one.

Although it ultimately didn’t affect the consultation quality, it was nonetheless a moderate mistake.

However, since he’s now mastered [Emotion Rebalancing], high-intensity consultation opportunities may become more frequent in the future. Nan Zhubin felt it necessary to train himself to cope.

Using [Emotion Rebalancing] right after each consultation is somewhat mentally exhausting, and Nan Zhubin didn’t want to rely solely on his "golden finger."

He also wanted to use the consultations to improve his own quality as much as possible.

By utilizing his own consultation qualities to adjust his mindset to a certain extent, he aims to use [Emotion Rebalancing] once every two or even three consultations, maximizing resource utilization.

This is the goal Nan Zhubin set for himself.

Once proficient, Nan Zhubin even wants to challenge himself with full-day consultations from 9 AM to 9 PM. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

As far as Nan Zhubin knows, accomplishing such a feat is unheard of in the entire industry!

"As for now." Nan Zhubin took a deep breath, "I’m ready."

"Strive to get through two consultations in a row, then [Emotion Rebalancing]!"

Knock knock—

"Please come in." Nan Zhubin said loudly.

The door opened, and in came a girl with a weary face.

[Her face was delicate, and she wore no makeup.]

[There were faint dark circles, and the area around her eyes was somewhat swollen and red.]

Nan Zhubin had a few guesses in his mind, and he prepared himself seriously.

...

After the customary basic information gathering, they quickly moved on to the main topic of the consultation.

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

Nan Zhubin nodded slightly. Ah, it’s an [emotional issue].

Yan Nuo Psychological Center’s transition to a relationship counseling center was met with much resistance from consultants.

But the consultants weren’t inherently against the large category of [emotional issues].

For example, problems like "intimacy issues due to origins in family," "emotional abuse," "paranoid disorder," "sex addiction," etc., are issues that definitely warrant consultation attention.

What the consultants despised were the so-called "consultations" on the market, wearing the guise of [relationship counseling] or even [psychological consultation], but actually teaching people how to pursue partners or break up and reconcile.

Not knowing what problem this student client has.

The client slowly explained: "Well, my boyfriend and I have had some conflicts recently, and now my studies and life all seem terrible."

"I was thinking, coming to the teacher for psychological consultation might make me feel a bit better..."

Nan Zhubin nodded in his mind. The concern was that the girl came for advice on "how to maintain her relationship well."

Focusing on "making oneself feel better" shows good strength.

Nan Zhubin tried to guide deeper: "You said there were some conflicts with your boyfriend recently, what kind of conflicts?"

The client showed a memory expression.

"Well, I met him right at the beginning of the semester, we got together before the military training even ended, and now we’ve only been together a few months..."

Nan Zhubin didn’t speak, he just kept nodding, indicating he was listening attentively.

"And then a while ago, I found out he was being ambiguous with another ’person.’ I was very angry. But he quickly realized his mistake, apologized to me, and even deleted that person in front of me, and we reconciled..."

Nan Zhubin nodded, and a few new guesses formed in his mind.

At the same time, he noticed the client emphasized the word "person."

It seemed like this third party was significant. Either this person had a big impact on the client, or this person’s identity was quite special.

Nan Zhubin noted this curiosity on the consultation form in his hand. He decided to set it aside for now and let the client untangle the story line herself.

He guided by asking: "It sounds like the result was quite good, but you still have unresolved emotions affecting your life?"

"No, it’s not the emotions that are unresolved, it’s ’that person.’"

A bit unexpected. Before Nan Zhubin could ask, the client herself brought the topic to this.

But the girl shook her head: "She is unwilling and still entangles with my boyfriend. She even asked me out afterward to persuade me to break up with my boyfriend quickly, saying I’m just a child and campus love won’t last long, wouldn’t it be better to let a good boy go to her..."

Nan Zhubin raised an eyebrow, ruled out a few guesses, and thought the situation was quite clear now.

The more we care about something, the harder it is to stay rational, and it might even cause a decrease in intelligence in a common sense way. Many people in love do stupid things because of this.

Like the issue the girl mentioned; from an objective third-party perspective, it might just seem laughable, but from a first-person perspective, there may be many possibilities.

Nan Zhubin tried to guide the client to explore herself: "Did her words impact you?"

The client nodded: "Yes, it was a big impact... Not just her words, she also did some things; she didn’t just affect my feelings but also my studies and life."

Nan Zhubin nodded as well and continued to guide: "How did it affect you?"

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

Nan Zhubin’s nodding motion suddenly paused.

...

Time, 4:56 PM.

The client had been gone for three minutes.

Nan Zhubin rubbed his brow, feeling as if his brow ridge was frozen, tensed up tightly.

"Click—" the sound of the door opening rang by his ear, and Xia Tian walked in again with some warm water.

Perhaps seeing that Nan Zhubin hadn’t come out for so long, he couldn’t help but come in to check the situation.

"Mr. Nan, are you alright?"

Nan Zhubin didn’t respond immediately; he was contemplating whether the recent client belonged to the confidentiality exception and whether Xia Tian should notify the client’s faculty at Jiang University Center.

But after thinking it over, he said, "It’s okay."

Overall, exposing this counselor’s issue would be more detrimental than beneficial for the client.

Especially since the client herself currently didn’t have a strong will to resist, abruptly interfering from outside might cause even greater harm.

This is a significant dilemma in consultation ethics and morality—if you act, it might not only be useless but could also cause harm unintentionally; if you don’t act, your conscience reprimands you.

After all, psychological consultation isn’t akin to mechanical work; those who are quite skilled in this field generally have high conscientiousness.

It’s prone to internal conflict.

"However... do contact this girl afterward, just follow the usual follow-up interview time intervals."

Fortunately, school psychological consultations have certain rights not available outside, at least allowing for follow-up on the client’s future status.

If there are issues, address them promptly.

Xia Tian quickly noted that down.

Then—

[Emotion Rebalancing]

Nan Zhubin exhaled and sighed again.

This one ultimately wasn’t saved.

However, the psychological pressure from moral condemnation was at least temporarily relieved.

It shouldn’t interfere with the upcoming consultation.

...

Time, 5:03 PM.

It was the last client of the afternoon.

Even if this client’s consultation puts a lot of pressure on Nan Zhubin, he can still use the hour from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM to rest afterward.

Theoretically, he shouldn’t need to use [Emotion Rebalancing].

Knock knock—

"Please come in." Nan Zhubin said loudly.
