Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!-Chapter 665 - 598: Division of Labor

The importance of the [ritual] at the end of consultation is self-evident.

However, the specific form of the ritual naturally depends on the different real-life scenarios of different people.

Therefore, various rituals that emerge from this have different psychological principles.

Shi Qianqian remained silent for a moment.

When Nan Zhubin was talking later, Bai Qinghua had already opened the package, started packing luggage, and boiling water. At this point, he had already made tea.

He leisurely took a sip from his thermal cup and then poured a cup for each of his disciples using disposable cups.

"Ah... thank you, teacher."

"Thank you, teacher."

"Oh, thanks."

"Ah... ha~" Bai Qinghua comfortably exhaled a long breath, releasing the exhaustion from the journey and the meeting all at once.

"A very mature intervention plan, thoughtfully considered." Bai Qinghua summarized, "From this perspective, the current environment is indeed the best place for intervention for Li Lingling. Sending her back would be worse."

"Personality disorder has always been a challenge in psychological treatment. But if everything goes smoothly according to your plan, maybe we can truly solve Li Lingling’s problem."

But there is a problem.

An obvious problem that everyone present is quite familiar with.

"Thus, most of your energy will have to be focused on consultation and intervention. Other work here in the disaster zone leaves little room for involvement." Bai Qinghua said.

This trip to the disaster zone is a rare opportunity, allowing disciples to gain invaluable experience.

Bai Qinghua very much hopes his disciples will cherish this.

Nan Zhubin pursed his lips and nodded, about to say something. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"But it’s okay." Bai Qinghua then said, "Setting up a simulated environment for intervention treatment is something many consultants never encounter in their lifetime. In a way, it’s a more precious opportunity than doing disaster zone psychological aid."

"Likewise, many visitors never encounter such an opportunity in their lifetime either." Bai Qinghua patted Nan Zhubin’s shoulder, speaking earnestly, "Opportunities are rare, but acting within one’s abilities is important."

Weng Pinting’s expression also relaxed: "Originally, most of the tasks assigned to Zhuren were psychological consultation and assessment. Other work structured to maintain the organization was merely observational learning."

Nan Zhubin felt Bai Qinghua’s hand on his shoulder.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Actually, I feel my energy is quite abundant. If there’s cooperation from medical staff and no other cases here demanding too much attention, I can also help the senior brothers and sisters..."

Bai Qinghua’s face changed slightly, quickly increasing the pressure on Nan Zhubin’s shoulder.

"Act within your capability." Bai Qinghua emphasized again.

This young disciple is very capable in everything, but sometimes he is overly enthusiastic... to the point of a creepy familiarity.

For instance, this kind of persistent work passion now indeed resembles Li Lingling.

Weng Pinting, hearing this, also turned her head, as if to change the topic, looking at Chonghui and Shi Qianqian: "Do you have any questions? Just like the teacher said, this kind of situational case intervention is very precious. You should pay as much attention as possible to your junior."

Intra-group case exchanges naturally require reflection and feedback.

Chonghui racked his brains thinking for a while, and indeed this level of plan design exceeded his ability limit. At least he couldn’t see any issues.

"It feels like this plan would take a long time. Just not sure if this disaster situation can support Zhuren in implementing the entire intervention plan... wait, should I not say this?"

Chonghui blinked.

Weng Pinting sighed, "Forget it, there’s no outsider here."

After speaking, she no longer cared about the tall guy and turned to look at Shi Qianqian, who had been silent for a while: "You seemed to be thinking about something, do you have any ideas?"

Shi Qianqian was indeed thinking.

Upon hearing her senior sister’s reminder, she raised her head: "Uh... there aren’t issues. Just think Zhuren’s plan feels very similar to [Morioka Therapy]?"

[Morioka Therapy] is a form of psychological treatment originating from Japan, founded by Dr. Morioka Shouma. Its core essence is summed up in eight words: "Accept nature, do what must be done."

"Accept nature" means accepting all self- arising emotions, thoughts, and physical discomforts; "do what must be done" requires patients to shift their focus externally, concentrating efforts on constructive, purposeful actions in real life.

In the inpatient treatment of [Morioka Therapy], visitors go through stages of "absolute bed rest-low-intensity work-high-intensity work-return to normal life."

Life practice is designed to reshape life’s perspectives, with changes in actions ultimately leading to changes in character and feelings.

Indeed, it is quite similar to what Nan Zhubin is advocating now.

Facing Shi Qianqian’s issue, Nan Zhubin nodded: "Indeed, this kind of step-by-step process is very common, featuring [cognitive-behavioral therapy], [system desensitization], [Morioka Therapy], as well as temporary designs like the one I’m implementing now."

"This gradual approach is an excellent method, but during the actual implementation, it must be adjusted according to the theoretical foundation, specific problem, and intervention goals."

"For example, [cognitive behavior] therapy seeks to verify and change irrational cognition, while [Morioka Therapy] accepts all irrationalities."

"Mixing the two..." Nan Zhubin’s expression twisted a bit, "the outcome would be terrible."

"In Li Lingling’s current situation, accepting is not suitable, so the focus is on changing. On this basis, for some trivial irrational cognitions that arise, it’s about ’integrating’, not ’accepting’."

Shi Qianqian thought deeply after listening to her junior brother’s teaching, and then suddenly realized something was amiss.

However, Weng Pinting had already clapped to end the temporary seminar: "Alright, since you have an idea, go implement it."

"Let’s quickly pack our luggage and prepare for work—we still have lots to do!"

When unloading luggage from the car, the research group’s items were temporarily placed together.

But clearly, men and women wouldn’t be sharing accommodations.

Chonghui was pulled over to act as a temporary porter, carrying the senior sisters’ and junior sisters’ bags to the girls’ dormitory.

...

In the corridor, Professor Ji and Teacher Yijin Jiao watched Weng Pinting and her group departing.

Then, they turned their gaze towards Bai Qinghua’s room.

Teacher Yijin Jiao mimicked Professor Ji’s gaze, then couldn’t help asking: "Teacher, what should we do next?"
