Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?! Chapter 203 - 203 201 The Most Common Psychological Issues

203: Chapter 201: The Most Common Psychological Issues 203: Chapter 201: The Most Common Psychological Issues After listening to Nan Zhubin’s explanation, the teacher in charge of the center blinked.

“Very important?

How important?”

Nan Zhubin didn’t say much, just looked at his appointnt register.

[18:00-19:00, Visitor: Cheng Hui, Consultant: Nan Zhubin, Consultation Room No.

1.]

Cheng Hui.

The classmate of Chen Jie is coming.

…

Nan Zhubin sat on the single-seater sofa in the consultation room, adjusting his breathing.

He looked serious, with emotions second only to when he faced Wang An before and had a confrontation with Lin Lulin.

It’s not that the current issue is particularly difficult.

It’s just that it requires his wholehearted attention.

Just took a nap and recovered so energy, so——

[Emotion Rebalancing]

The slightly stirred emotions also cald down.

“Knock knock——”

Upon hearing the knock on the door, Nan Zhubin imdiately rubbed his face and skillfully put on a professional Psychological Consultation smile.

“Please co in.”

Click——

The one who ca in was a girl.

Nan Zhubin quickly glanced at her, forming his first-hand [Consultant Impression].

Wheat-colored skin, big eyes, not-high bridge of the nose, her features combined to be above average attractiveness among peers— but very well-coordinated and clean.

She was very tall, probably over 1.75 ters even in flat shoes, Nan Zhubin estimated.

She wore a thick down jacket, making it hard to discern her specific body shape, but a slight hunchback was noticeable—not sure if it’s due to her height or an introverted nature.

The above is likely the limit of what a regular consultant can discern at first glance, the rest must be gathered during the consultation.

But fortunately, Nan Zhubin has [Micro-expression Analysis].

Moreover, because Nan Zhubin had previously relied on this ability to deeply analyze many people and established many micro-expression templates.

Now, by comparing the visitor with these templates, Nan Zhubin can roughly assess the visitor’s issues.

And at this mont, the visitor nad “Cheng Hui,” the closest template aura she exudes is——

Li Minglu.

Nan Zhubin’s internal brow slightly furrowed.

[Very similar, but slightly lighter in degree.]

If lucky, it might not even reach the level of [Psychological Illness], but stay within the scope of [Psychological Issues].

In simple terms, it’s [depression], not [clinical depression].

…

Actually, taking a long view, among the visitor issues Nan Zhubin currently handles, aside from [Emotional Issues], issues related to [depression] are the highest proportion.

And if we consider that [Emotional Issues] could also lead to [depression], then [depression] becos the most common among all problems.

This situation is prevalent throughout society.

Most psychological disorders can trigger [depression]; most ntal illnesses are accompanied by concurrent [clinical depression].

For practitioners in the psychological field, visitors with [depression] issues are the most common visitors they face; the topic the general public encounters most often is also [depression].

With the developnt of social networks, “depression” with high universality, like “primary family issues,” has undergone a process of “misunderstanding → so understanding → distortion → disinclination to understand → annoyance upon seeing.”

Leading to a tendency of stigmatization and even demonization.

Yet psychological practitioners still dare not be complacent because the issues causing “depression” are diverse, and the manifestations are all kinds of bizarre, and the intervention thods require specialized handling.

It is an absolute scenario where path dependency cannot be applied.

…

Nan Zhubin took a gentle breath.

“Please sit.”

Nan Zhubin gestured to the visitor to sit on the sofa.

“Cheng Hui, correct?”

“Yes.” The visitor appeared a bit nervous.

[Leans against the back of the chair, arms crossed, head lowered.]

[No eye contact.]

No surprise.

“‘Chinese Language and Literature major,’ huh.”

As per usual, use basic information to start the topic, while providing appropriate [Positive Attention] to initially establish the consulting relationship.

“If I rember correctly, this major is one of the highest-scoring at Jiang University, getting in is quite an achievent.”

This praise was sincere from Nan Zhubin.

The visitor tugged at the corner of her mouth, sowhat embarrassedly glanced at Nan Zhubin, then looked away again.

But visibly, the defensive body language was reduced sowhat.

[Arms not as tightly crossed.]

Beginner consulting relationship successfully established.

And most importantly——

[She doesn’t recognize .]

Cheng Hui, being Chen Jie’s classmate, initially made Nan Zhubin worried that she might carry a preconception and rejection sentint towards him due to Chen Jie’s situation.

Even if Cheng Hui didn’t know of Nan Zhubin before, the video where Nan Zhubin and Chen Ting confronted Wang An had caused a huge stir.

As long as Cheng Hui had seen that video and knew so gossip, she could understand most of Nan Zhubin’s background story—at least those related to Jiang University.

It now seems there’s no such risk.

Nan Zhubin secretly breathed a small sigh of relief.

In that case, he can proceed with the normal consultation process.

After completing the basic communication, seeing Cheng Hui had no intention of speaking proactively, Nan Zhubin guided:

“Is there any problem you need help with today?”

The visitor pursed her lips: “I…

feel very uncomfortable.”

The description was very vague.

But most students who actively seek psychological consultation usually have a ntal draft of their situation.

With Nan Zhubin prompting, the subsequent narration becos significantly smoother.

“My discomfort, one main thing is…

I often suffer from insomnia.

Normally, I sleep around twelve, and on tired days, I might lie down around eleven.

But after lying down, I keep thinking about things, unable to sleep, sotis thinking until around three or four in the morning…”

“And then, it’s been hard for to concentrate lately.

In class, I can’t absorb anything; when doing howork, I get distracted every ten minutes or so…”

“It’s just, my learning efficiency is very low now, and I feel life is also a ss, leading to a vicious cycle.”

The first narrative concludes here.

A bit broad, not detailed enough.

But fortunately, it revealed enough anchors to attempt delving deeper.

[Information: insomnia, difficulty concentrating.]

Nan Zhubin noticed there might be a common point between these two issues.

He validated his guess by following the visitor’s words: “You ntioned you suffer from insomnia because you’re thinking about things.

Are you also thinking about things when you can’t concentrate while in class or doing howork?”

By summing up the information in the visitor’s description and then making reasonable assumptions to uncover the yet-unspoken details from the visitor.

Saying it right would make the visitor feel “this teacher is impressive” and “he understands .”

Thus, deepen the consulting relationship.
