Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?! Chapter 835 689: The Obsession with Work and Family

The contents of that file are not particularly shocking, at least much better than the previous visitor, Li Lingling, seen by Nan Zhubin.

The visitor cos from what can broadly be considered a normal family. Aside from ensuring he was well-fed, clothed, and educated, his parents couldn't provide much more help.

However, combined with the accomplishnts he has achieved at work, this explains a certain phenonon.

"The visitor genuinely believes that his forr 'emotionally stable' personality is a kind of 'calm talent,' and he is deeply convinced of this."

Nan Zhubin stated, "I suspect this cognitive model makes him continually avoid genuine emotions, suppressing emotion with reason."

"In such a prolonged state, the emotional perception function will gradually blunt, just as unused senses will atrophy. Emotional perception, when long suppressed, will also beco 'numb,' forming a latent tendency towards Dissociation. This is a significant susceptibility factor for Personality Dissociation."

"This conjecture can be partially corroborated by the visitor's previous self-reports. His state of Dissociation didn't occur suddenly; he had experienced it while working extre overti previously."

Mo Kai and Chonghui nodded in agreent.

This part of the knowledge is not hard to understand.

Currently, in the field of psychology, the theory of "interaction between internal and external factors" is the most widely accepted regarding the causes of various psychological issues.

Simply put, "internal factors" refer to the individual's self, while "external factors" refer to the environnt. It's not difficult to understand.

This is the first point in the analysis of the visitor's problem causes.

...

Nan Zhubin continued to dissect: "Secondly, the accumulation of chronic stress."

At this point, Nan Zhubin changed his tone: "What do you think of the atmosphere in this company where we stand now?"

Chonghui imdiately understood Nan Zhubin's implication.

Mo Kai took a little more ti but eventually caught on: "It feels very tense... Is it the work pressure?"

Nan Zhubin nodded: "Yes, as a technical sales director, the visitor's job is inherently high-intensity and high-competition. Long-term workplace stress may keep him constantly on edge, further compressing the space for emotional experience from the environnt, continuously reinforcing the latent tendency towards Dissociation."

Mo Kai nodded in considerable agreent: "Indeed, the visitor's previous experience of Dissociation occurred during overti."

This is the second point.

"Furthermore, there is the destructive life event of his 'wife's death,' an acute stress trigger equivalent to the last straw breaking the cal's back."

This ti, Nan Zhubin did not adjust the dialogue script.

Instead, he leaned back, speaking in a rarely seen tone of lant: "His wife died suddenly of a heart attack, a typical unanticipated traumatic event. Before this, his latent Dissociation could still be temporarily alleviated by rest—such as the 'bystander' feeling after urgent project completion, which would dissipate after a day or two of rest. But his wife's death completely shattered this balance."

Nan Zhubin paged through the verbatim script once more.

"From this, it leads to his fourth point, which is family responsibility—"

At this, Nan Zhubin couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This is the most challenging part in most cases.

"He ntioned right at the beginning 'that his daughter needs to attend a private elentary school, and both parents and in-laws need care,' these family responsibility factors left him lacking the necessary emotional buffer after his wife's death. He must imdiately assu the role of a reliable father, filial son, and loyal son-in-law—"

"—yet unfortunately missing the 'husband.'"

"He simply has no ti to process the terrible news of 'his wife's death.'

Since it cannot be processed, he does not process it, not even feeling it.

"This will exacerbate Emotional Isolation, making mild existing problems unable to self-relieve, and continually worsen."

Chonghui and Mo Kai couldn't help but wince.

Even though, the forr being a doctoral student with the financial independence granted by Bai Qinghua's support; the latter from a well-off family, having been free of money worries from a young age.

They could not fully empathize with the visitor's situation, a "36-year-old man who needs to support two pairs of parents and a daughter."

But their Empathy as psychologists, along with their previous experiences and studies of visitor cases, allowed them to sowhat grasp the pressure within.

Hence, they couldn't help but feel a twinge of unease.

Nan Zhubin shook his head: "This point is very crucial. The heavy burden of family responsibility makes it impossible for him to allow any 'vulnerable' state, relying only on stronger rationality to control behavior, further distancing himself from emotions and physicality."

"So in summary, it started with his early ford cognition of 'suppressing emotions equals talent,' combined with the long-term workplace pressure developing a latent tendency towards Dissociation; the sudden death of his wife, this acute trauma, together with the subsequent heavy family responsibilities ultimately triggered ongoing Personality Dissociation."

This part of the information, compared to the previous verbatim dialogue script review, is not as 'rigid' as a knowledge point.

However, leaving aside the identity of professional learners, as individuals living in society, the impact felt by Chonghui and Mo Kai is much stronger.

This ti, Mo Kai was the first to recover after a few breaths.

After thinking for a mont, he noticed sothing amiss.

"Senior, if the visitor's Personality Dissociation makes it impossible for him to truly feel his emotions... why then is he still so persistently committed to work and family now?"

"Generally speaking, focusing on family... should be driven by 'love'? As for work, it should be... anxiety?"
