Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!-Chapter 662 - 596: Bai Qinghua and Weng Pinting: The Familiar Taste of Radicalism

Chapter 662: Chapter 596: Bai Qinghua and Weng Pinting: The Familiar Taste of Radicalism

Accompanied by Li Lingling’s motion of stroking the blanket.

The rough yet soft fabric conveyed the most genuine sensation, simultaneously awakening Li Lingling’s memory.

This faint touch seemed to build a bridge, bringing back that "steadiness" to Li Lingling’s hands from her past.

After a moment, Li Lingling nodded, "It seems... a little bit."

Nan Zhubin asked, "Is it that feeling of ’steadiness’? Can you describe it?"

Li Lingling remained silent for a while, organizing her words.

After some time, she replied, "It’s just... I’m not sure, it’s just the feeling that I can do it. Anyway... it’s completely different from those feelings of ’cold’ and ’heavy’.

"But it does exist, right?" Nan Zhubin emphasized.

"...Yes," Li Lingling hesitated and nodded, "It’s just when it’s there, I may not feel it. Only after succeeding do I realize that feeling was there just now."

What Nan Zhubin sought was this kind of detailed, personally insightful description.

Nan Zhubin nodded, summarizing in Li Lingling’s words, "So that feeling of ’steadiness’ is as real as the ’cold’ and ’heavy’ you mentioned. It’s just that they appear in different forms, right?"

This was the final critical step in today’s conversation.

To place positive resources and negative experiences on the same level of reality, integrating them to help the visitor understand the complexity of emotions and feelings.

So Li Lingling could realize — the situation isn’t "all good" or "all bad".

Of course, as an adult, one would understand this principle; but when the flood of emotions and disordered cognition surges, it doesn’t make any sense.

Therefore, external cognitive support from a consultant is necessary.

The room once again fell into prolonged silence.

Li Lingling’s gaze was not entirely vacant anymore, still tired, but seemingly filled with some content.

She occasionally looked at her hands, sometimes gazed outside the tent.

"...Yes, that’s right."

After a long pause, she nodded, affirming this principle that every adult understands but often intentionally ignores.

That will do for now.

Nan Zhubin softly said, "We can pause our conversation here today. I just arrived, and came here today only after seeing your file, so this was a more formal evaluation to see your situation."

This was not formal consulting, with no assistant to help coordinate, when the visitor shows reliance on this consultation, it requires more careful wording.

Especially facing Li Lingling’s special situation.

Indeed, Li Lingling’s face visibly showed reluctance, even slightly propping up her upper body. But the reason Nan Zhubin gave took care of all aspects, so Li Lingling’s movement stiffened for a moment, then slowly lay back down.

"As for the feelings within you..."

Nan Zhubin continued, "You don’t need to change any of your feelings immediately, whether it’s the cold stone or the steady hand feeling, they are all within you, and you need to let them always be there. Your only task is to continue allowing yourself to rest, to feel this support."

This was a simple summary, emphasizing "allowing" and "feeling support." Setting such an extremely simple, stress-free task, consolidates stability.

At the same time, placing this "homework assignment" task after the goodbye, can also dilute some of Li Lingling’s feelings of reluctance.

Having said that, Nan Zhubin slowly stood up.

"I’ll come to see you again later."

Today’s consultation was brief, came unexpectedly, and ended quickly.

Li Lingling’s gaze followed Nan Zhubin’s movements, although she didn’t speak, her eyes were different from the initial complete detachment. In them was a faint, almost imperceptible, connection.

Nan Zhubin nodded slightly, turned and left, leaving a quiet space for her to digest and rest.

...

With a creaking sound, the door opened, and Nan Zhubin found the staff who had brought him was still waiting outside.

The edge of the person’s clothes still fluttered slightly in the wind, as if they had just nimblified from eavesdropping upon hearing Nan Zhubin’s footsteps, now acting as if nothing had happened.

Nan Zhubin glanced at his expression.

No negative intentions were apparent, at least none directed at Li Lingling.

That was probably understood.

Nan Zhubin approved of the staff’s actions internally, wearing a gentle smile, "It’s done here. Can you take me back to find my teachers and others? I don’t have a work permit, so wandering here isn’t very convenient."

The staff had no objections and led Nan Zhubin back without glancing towards Li Lingling’s room.

They walked back directly to the tent where the meeting had just taken place, and surprisingly, the meeting hadn’t yet ended.

Weng Pinting and others displayed surprised expressions when they saw Nan Zhubin — since he hadn’t been gone for long at all.

This was not in line with Nan Zhubin’s usual style of consulting.

But such remarks couldn’t be made face-to-face, and coincidentally Weng Pinting and the person in charge were also at the end of their conversation.

After finalizing the work for the next few days, more staff took them to their accommodations to unpack their luggage.

The group had rushed over to the meeting right after getting off the vehicle.

It was only at this time that Weng Pinting finally asked Nan Zhubin, "Did your consultation end so quickly this time?"

After Nan Zhubin left earlier, Weng Pinting checked the file Nan Zhubin had on him. Recognizing Li Lingling, they immediately understood the severity of the situation and why Nan Zhubin appeared so urgent.
