Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?! Chapter 92 - 92 91 The Second Case
92: Chapter 91 The Second Case 92: Chapter 91 The Second Case Nan Zhubin’s teacher?
Weng Pinting’s furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
A teacher capable of nurturing such a remarkable student as Nan Zhubin must also be quite reliable.
However, recalling sothing, her brows knitted slightly again.
“I rember your teacher is called Lin Lulin, right?
Does cognitive-behavioral work?” Weng Pinting turned to confirm with Nan Zhubin.
Searching his mory, Nan Zhubin nodded to affirm Weng Pinting’s inquiry.
Weng Pinting silently recited these two pieces of information in her mind, then turned to Howard: “Why was it transferred to us?”
Howard replied, “According to Old Lin, he’s been following this case for almost a year, and previously it involved dication combined with psychological consultation.
The situation has greatly eased now, not as difficult.
anwhile, they have more important clients to attend to at the mont.
Upon learning that my center lacks cases, they wanted to recomnd this now-simpler case to here.”
A “simple” case?
Both Weng Pinting and Nan Zhubin didn’t quite like this characterization.
But since Howard had already decided, and indeed Yan Nuo needed a case, having a long-term client couldn’t be a bad thing.
So, Weng Pinting nodded and said, “Let see the information.”
Howard handed it over without any objections.
However, before Weng Pinting could relax her expression, after glancing over one page, she imdiately raised her eyebrows.
“The client will co in two hours?!”
Howard nodded: “Yes.”
“This kind of last-minute consultation doesn’t happen!”
“But it happens often, doesn’t it?”
Weng Pinting took a deep breath: “Those…
were compromises made for business, and they were basically minor consultations like ‘life planning,’ ’emotional recovery,’ which I wouldn’t even classify as ‘psychological consultation.’ But this depression is different, it’s in the realm of ‘psychotherapy!’ At the very least, a 24-hour advance appointnt is needed to prepare, otherwise, it’s impossible to take it on!”
“Why can’t it be taken on?” Howard unexpectedly showed persistence at this mont.
He said, “Wasn’t the case with Chen Ting also taken on by Little Nan at the last minute and completed successfully?
That was also psychotherapy.
This depression case is even easier, having been transferred from Little Nan’s ntor, following a consistent treatnt approach, isn’t it much easier?”
This kind of “take-for-granted” assumption by a layperson about technical matters caused Weng Pinting to take a deep breath.
She realized sothing too—when soone starts reasoning unreasonably, deducing unreasonably, or imagining reasons during a debate, they’re no longer discussing the matter at hand.
But sothing beyond the matter.
Silence.
“I’ll take it.”
Both Howard and Weng Pinting turned their heads, only to find Nan Zhubin breaking the silence.
The boss showed a satisfied expression, although it wasn’t a victory over the supervisor, it was still a gain.
The supervisor frowned, about to say sothing.
Nan Zhubin got in first: “Sister Pingting, the boss has a point.
After all, this case is transferred from my teacher, and currently, of everyone at Yan Nuo, I’m the most capable of taking it on.”
This was ant to reassure.
“When I took on the Chen Ting case before, I initially thought Chen Ting was also suffering from depression.
And I took it on during that misunderstanding, because I indeed have so insights into intervening in depression.”
This was the truth.
“If anything goes wrong, the first consultation is mainly for collecting information and establishing a consultation relationship.
I can use person-centered techniques to provide the other party with positive attention and care, won’t that suffice?
It won’t pose a problem.”
This was the reassurance of having a safety net.
Weng Pinting bowed her head in contemplation.
She felt that Nan Zhubin was retreating to avoid damaging his relationship with Howard.
But what Nan Zhubin said made sense.
However, the practice of last-minute client insertions was too risky, even for a senior consultant like her, it felt unsettling.
She gave Howard a complex glance and sighed.
“Quickly go through these materials, the client is about to arrive.” In the end, she agreed.
Nan Zhubin accepted.
His heart was serious, yet there was also a sense of joy.
Instinct told him that this client might co with twists and turns.
But at the sa ti, there was a great possibility that this client could beco his second archived “case”!
…
Nan Zhubin walked out of the office.
He began to ponder.
The relationship between Weng Pinting and Howard was quite complicated.
On the surface, Howard was the company’s boss, the top leader; while Weng Pinting was the technical director, regarded as the second in command.
However, currently, ninety percent of Yan Nuo’s revenue relied on Weng Pinting.
Even, with Weng Pinting’s reputation in the industry, joining Yan Nuo, this startup center was considered an honor, only made possible through Howard’s personal connections.
Because of this, Yan Nuo’s internal dynamics had beco even more complex.
Nan Zhubin had a premonition that at this rate, sothing significant might happen.
But as a technical staff, a psychological consultant, he didn’t want to expend too much energy on that.
He needed to focus on the client at hand.
A client with “depression”!
If it’s genuine, it requires one hundred percent attention to address.
At this mont, Nan Zhubin was observing the client from a hidden corner.
Because of the rigorousness needed for clients already diagnosed with depression, Nan Zhubin did not take this client directly into the consultation room like those before.
Instead, he first let Lu Jia arrange for the client to complete several depression-related scales.
Although there were materials brought by the transferring party, since Nan Zhubin had decided to take on this case, it naturally required the client to undergo examination on his platform once again.
The client completed scales in a quiet indoor environnt, while the client’s family were received by Lu Jia outside.
Depression belongs to the category of more dangerous “ntal illnesses,” and for a significant period during the treatnt, a family mber or relevant guardian needs to be accompanied to ensure the patient’s safety.
Therefore, even though the client was an adult, they were accompanied by family during the consultation.
Only—
“Why are these ssed-up things again, they’ve been done many tis before!”
“Are you using this ti spent on forms to rip us off?”
The client’s family mber was a woman approximately 160 cm tall, with a moderately overweight build, looked over thirty years old, with a refined make-up and neat attire.
A bit irritable.
Lu Jia, in a relaxed manner, poured another cup of tea for the client’s family:
“My apologies.
Because it has been transferred to our consultation center, many written materials need to be recollected, which indeed takes a bit of ti.”
“However, rest assured, this is an additional service from us and does not count towards the consultation duration.”
