"I know what you need." Ning Youguang looked seriously at Liang Yiyi, "I need to confirm with you again now. Have you really decided to give up this unhealthy intimate relationship and leave your husband?"
"Yes, I confirm." Liang Yiyi nodded earnestly, "I’ve already made up my mind."
"Since you’ve decided to gain freedom." Ning Youguang said, "I will give you encouragent and support throughout, and teach you how to break free from manipulation."
Liang Yiyi, with a cautious attitude, looked like a student ready to receive education, "I will do my best."
Ning Youguang smiled, and then, both mother and daughter laughed.
At this point in the counseling session, Ning Youguang suggested everyone take a short break.
Liang Yule brought out the snacks and drinks she had prepared earlier and invited everyone to enjoy them together.
There were a variety of options: dried fruits, fresh fruits, juices, yogurt, soda water, chips, and cookies.
Seeing these snacks and drinks, Liang Yiyi instinctively followed the habit, examining each one’s ingredients and calculating the calories, finally choosing a bottle of zero-calorie soda water to sip slowly.
While working, Ning Youguang’s brain was operating at high speed, consuming a lot of energy, and the precise output was still to co in the latter half.
She urgently needed to replenish energy, and regardless of whether the food was healthy or not, she grabbed and ate whatever she wanted.
Tasty and happiness are the most important!
Liang Yule joined her and they shared delicious foods and made comnts about each other’s choices.
Soon, they had opened many small packages, eating with great enjoynt.
Seeing them eating so happily, Liang Yiyi couldn’t help but ask Ning Youguang, "Aren’t you afraid of getting fat from eating these?"
"I’m already hungry, still thinking about losing weight?"
"You didn’t have breakfast?"
"I did." Ning Youguang opened a small pack of nuts, "Skipping breakfast is courting death? I value my life, I have the most serious breakfast."
Liang Yiyi continued to ask, "After having breakfast, shouldn’t you be less hungry?"
Ning Youguang laughed, "I notice that my work consus a lot, so I replenish energy appropriately. With a large workload today, I’ll eat a bit more, but I make selective choices when eating."
"For example, eating before 12:00 in the morning, it doesn’t matter what, but after noon..."
—she pointed at the chips, cheese-strawberry, waffles, chocolates, sausages on the table, "I hardly eat these."
Then she pointed at the dried fruits, fresh fruits, etc., "These I eat in moderation."
Liang Yiyi curiously asked, "These are high in calories. Without watching your diet, how do you maintain such a good figure? Do you work out?"
"I do." Ning Youguang said, "I go to the gym about three tis a week, co rain or shine."
"Besides, I also like walking, hiking, and strolling. I’ll move more whenever I have ti."
The pecan made a cracking sound as Ning Youguang bit into it, "My exercise is not just for weight loss but for health. The benefits of fitness to the body are the beauty; it’s more about changing one’s ntal state."
"For a better life, I firmly believe I need a better, healthier, and more beautiful body."
"Isn’t it painful to have followed the sa workout routine for ten years?"
"Working out is painful, but not working out is uglier and more painful." Ning Youguang said, "Moreover, every ti I exercise, I feel it’s a kind of enjoynt, not painful at all, I’ve already made it an indispensable routine like eating and sleeping, which allows to persist."
Liang Yiyi sighed, "My only motivation for working out is weight loss. Without it, I have no urge to move at all."
"Isn’t Auntie Liang silly?" Ning Youguang laughed, "It’s like we’re digging a well in the sa place, and we unearthed the sa contents: diamonds, gold, soil—you could have taken away diamonds, but you chose to ignore them, only carrying a basket of soil, and even felt that carrying soil is exhausting, so miserable."
Liang Yiyi thought for a mont and laughed, "You’re right. I didn’t see the higher benefits behind doing this, so I can’t find more motivation."
Ning Youguang handed her a pack of cheese strawberry almonds, "These are really delicious, try them."
Liang Yiyi instinctively wanted to refuse but accepted the small snack under Ning Youguang’s smiling gaze.
She opened it, took one and chewed it slowly in her mouth.
Ning Youguang softly asked, "Is it tasty?"
Liang Yule also slightly widened her eyes to look at her mother.
Liang Yiyi nodded, "It’s very tasty, very fragrant."
Ning Youguang said, "Your body is severely lacking. Right now, the most important thing is not weight loss, but replenishing what has been consud over the years. You can eat so dried fruits and such every day."
Liang Yiyi said, "Okay."
Liang Yule happily said, "Mom, I’ll buy you delicious food, I know what’s the tastiest."
Liang Yiyi then asked, "Dr. Ning, are you still taking appointnts?"
Ning Youguang knew she was asking about a traditional Chinese dicine consultation.
"Nowadays, I mainly just check on my family." She flashed a mischievous smile, "You know, I don’t have a Chinese dicine practitioner’s license."
Liang Yiyi laughed, "Having a license doesn’t an you can heal, and those who can heal might not have a license. It’s really..."
After a while, she asked, "Can I ask you to help feel my pulse and give an all-around conditioning of my body this ti?"
"Sure," Ning Youguang replied, "I will thoroughly understand your physical functions, then see if you need dication. If you need it, take it properly. If you don’t, I’ll see what you should eat and shouldn’t eat. After I tell you, you will understand your body more clearly."
"Yes," Liang Yiyi sighed, "This way, I’ll have much less fear about my body."
After resting, they continued into therapeutic counseling.
"You’re being controlled because you have weaknesses, you have gaps, you have obsessions. Whether it’s about love, material things, or sex, all these weaknesses require you to clearly recognize that relying on others won’t solve them," Ning Youguang said, looking at Liang Yiyi. "You’re the one who will solve these issues. You need to take on these lessons bit by bit on your life’s path."
"What do I need to do first?" Liang Yiyi asked seriously.
"First, you need to make peace with yourself. This is the first step for you to start healing yourself," Ning Youguang said. "Accept your imperfections, accept your many flaws, and then keep telling yourself, ’I am good, I am great, I am hardworking, I am worthy of love, this is who I am, and I am satisfied with myself.’" Ning Youguang said, "Co, repeat this sentence with ."
"I am good, I am great, I am hardworking, I am worthy of love, this is who I am, and I am satisfied with myself."
Liang Yiyi opened her mouth, completely unable to say the sentence.
"I am good, I am great, I am hardworking, I am worthy of love, this is who I am, and I am satisfied with myself." Ning Youguang looked seriously into her eyes, repeating the sentence over and over.
Until she said it for the tenth ti, Liang Yiyi finally opened her mouth.
"I... am... good, I... am great, I am hardworking, I am worthy... of love, this is who I am, and I am... satisfied with myself."
At first, she stamred over her words, but under Ning Youguang’s encouraging gaze, she spoke more fluently and louder.
Gradually, she choked up and cried, but she was able to say the sentence even louder.
Until she was able to shout the sentence forcefully.
"I am good, I am great, I am hardworking, I am worthy of love, this is who I am, and I am satisfied with myself!"
Ning Youguang kept encouraging her to say the sentence, repeating it until Liang Yiyi vented years of grievances, anger, and pain through crying and shouting.
After a long ti, her emotions gradually cald down.
Ning Youguang saw a rosy glow appear on her face, then asked, "How do you feel now?"
Liang Yiyi covered her chest with her hands, crying and laughing as she said, "I feel like I’ve expelled a ball of air, but my chest still feels blocked."
"Good." Ning Youguang said, "Feel the changes in your body well, take a deep breath..."
Liang Yiyi obediently followed her instructions.
Ning Youguang continued, "Inhale... exhale... exhale... inhale..."
"Yes, just like that... relax... keep... relaxing, exhale... inhale... relax..."
At first, Liang Yiyi’s breathing couldn’t be perford completely.
Her body was severely blocked, and the fresh air inhaled through her nose couldn’t penetrate down to her abdon but floated in her throat, and was quickly exhaled from her chest and lungs, shallow and suppressed...
Ning Youguang then had to pull her up from the chair to sit on the carpet.
"Watch do it once." She crossed her legs and closed her eyes, demonstrating a complete abdominal breathing pattern for Liang Yiyi.
Liang Yiyi tried several tis and finally managed it.
Next, Ning Youguang stood up, walked behind her, and gently massaged, kneaded, and caressed her, helping her to breathe deeply.
After a while.
Liang Yiyi’s emotions stabilized, her complexion beca transparent, fair, and a faint sheen appeared on the surface of her skin.
These were things Liang Yiyi couldn’t see, but Liang Yule could.
She happily took out her phone, snapping photos and videos of her mother before and after the therapy.
Liang Yiyi couldn’t see the change in her complexion, but she could sense the change in her body.
She slowly stood up, looking at Ning Youguang with surprised delight, "Dr. Ning, I feel my body is much smoother and lighter."
Ning Youguang smiled and nodded, "Try saying the sentence I asked you to repeat many tis again."
Liang Yiyi easily blurted out, "I am good, I am great, I am hardworking, I am worthy of love, this is who I am, and I am satisfied with myself."
After she finished speaking, she couldn’t help but laugh herself. 1314
