Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!-Chapter 151 - 149 Supervisor Report

Nan Zhubin was momentarily stunned.

Weng Pinting’s words were somewhat different from what he had anticipated.

The supervisor’s expression management was excellent, revealing nothing at first glance.

As for micro expressions, those fleeting things can only be seen when there’s an emotional change.

And now, Weng Pinting was too calm.

So calm that Nan Zhubin could only discern one general thing, and that is—

[Seriousness]

This is a normal expression during a conversation.

And it’s perfectly normal for a counseling supervisor to inquire about the consultation status from a subordinate consultant.

Not to mention that now he had a request to make.

"Hmm..."

Since he hadn’t prepared in advance, Nan Zhubin took a few breaths to organize his thoughts.

He then said, "Actually, you already know the basic situation, Sister Pingting. This visitor was transferred from my ’teacher’ and has depression."

Weng Pinting nodded, "First, tell me your basic view."

The basic view.

Nan Zhubin pursed his lips and said, "This visitor is quite like the protagonist of some rebirth-themed web novels I usually read."

Weng Pinting blinked, as if this statement touched a gap in her knowledge.

Nan Zhubin smiled.

He felt the serious atmosphere had somewhat lightened.

The style of a consultant reporting to a supervisor is completely different from being in the consulting room.

Psychological consultants are also known as "emotional trash bins," absorbing many complaints in the consulting room, which places a huge psychological burden on them.

The supervisor’s role, in addition to controlling the consultant’s direction, also provides comfort.

That’s why, when a consultant faces their supervisor, it often involves complaints, rants, crying, and even cursing, essentially venting in any way possible.

Thus, seeing Weng Pinting’s serious expression, Nan Zhubin couldn’t help but jest.

It was also a habitual attempt to seize the initiative in the conversation.

"Yes, the protagonist of a rebirth-themed web novel."

Nan Zhubin nodded and said, "It’s just before the rebirth—like someone with a whole set of money-making skills and talents, but due to cognitive or decision-making issues, their life has hit rock bottom, or even an abyss."

"And he is probably that kind of urban rebirth protagonist, too controlled by his wife."

Weng Pinting’s lips twitched.

She seemed to follow Nan Zhubin’s train of thought: "You mean, he needs to ’rebirth’ like in those novels to improve his life?"

Nan Zhubin shook his head, "Even if reborn, the cognitive issues may not be resolved, and things could remain unchanged..."

But Zhubin quickly brought the topic back to the main point after the brief jest.

He began to report the visitor’s background in a systematic way: "Visitor is a male, professional artist, age..."

"Early family experiences..."

"General situation..."

After listening, Weng Pinting appeared thoughtful: "The visitor has strong motivation. Do you think this motivation stems from his early family experiences?"

Nan Zhubin nodded, "He was happy early on, but suddenly lost both parents, being all alone, which gave him too rigid a cognition."

"Initially, I wondered if I could change his cognition, so he wouldn’t insist so much on recreating his family life."

Weng Pinting thought for a moment and then quickly said, "But that won’t work."

Nan Zhubin nodded, "Yes, it won’t work."

"Such rigid cognition has already become a driving force for his life and, furthermore, a part of his survival desire."

"Even a healthy person would feel lost suddenly losing such motivation. If a depression patient is deprived of what little motivation they have..."

Nan Zhubin sighed, "The result would be unimaginable."

What is the most unimaginable outcome of depression?

The answer is suicide.

"So next, I changed direction, intending to alter his real environment."

Nan Zhubin sighed, "Yet it was another tangled mess—"

"Depression itself leaves one incapable of changing their life, relying basically on family and the consultant, but that family member—"

Nan Zhubin attempted to find words: "It’s akin to a collection of wrong demonstrations."

Weng Pinting immediately understood. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Nan Zhubin sighed, "The classic family member who thinks ’depression is just being in a bad mood.’ Li Minglu’s illness largely stems from her, and foreseeably, she will continue affecting his recovery negatively."

In this situation, severing Li Minglu’s connection with life is best.

However—

"Wang Sui is Li Minglu’s only family," Weng Pinting added.

Depression absolutely requires related personnel for oversight.

In this situation, even hospitalizing is inappropriate.

Quite tricky.

Even Weng Pinting was curious, "What do you plan to do in this situation?"

Nan Zhubin pondered, "I had one conversation with Wang Sui, gaining some understanding of her. I initially tried to make Li Minglu understand the cognitive differences between him and his wife."

"Doing so would benefit both his cognitive adjustment and reality adjustment."

"In terms of cognition, if he realizes the gap between him and his wife’s expectations, then even if his cognition diminishes, perhaps he could rely on his love for his wife, preventing an immediate loss of survival desire. Later, I could gradually change his cognition."

"Moreover, if changing reality, then Li Minglu could understand his expected family can’t be achieved with his current wife, so..."

Nan Zhubin paused, unusually hesitant.

Weng Pinting stared at him, completing the latter half: "Then he might leave his current family and form one matching his cognitive expectations, right?"

The logic is sound.

But this method contradicts basic social moral cognition—destroying a family.

"I understand your dilemma, but this is also a consultant’s duty—to present all problem-solving methods to the visitor and inform him of each choice’s consequences."

"Ultimately, the choice is his to make."

Weng Pinting gave Nan Zhubin some Positive Attention.

Yet Nan Zhubin wasn’t positively influenced, sighing even more frustratedly, "The problem is, he’s still like at the beginning—choosing nothing."

"His regression is too severe."
