Who would study psychology if they didn't have some kind of problem?

Chapter 50 "Excellent"

In just a few words, Chen Ting and Wang An had already reached the doorway.

The bearded man continued, "According to the supervisor, the client was a junior in college, from a single-parent family, living with her father. However, she claimed to have been sexually assaulted by her father for several years."

Nan Zhuren stopped arguing with the bearded man; he could guess what the bearded man meant.

You can also sense the admonition in the bearded man's tone.

"Furthermore, according to Supervisor Weng, the visitor did not lie, had no delusions or other issues, and the descriptions were all true and accurate. So when I heard about this case, I asked Supervisor Weng: 'Shouldn't adultery be an exception to the confidentiality rule? Why didn't you call the police?'"

"How did Sister Pingting answer you?"

She said: "First, she was unsure whether such behavior was appropriate for the client; second, she only helped the client resolve the issues the client wanted to resolve."

Nan Zhuren lowered his head and remained silent.

"The visitors only wanted help to overcome their own problems, to overcome those flashbacks and those depressions. So Supervisor Weng only provided the corresponding help."

"and after."

"Later, after Director Weng completed two-thirds of the entire treatment, the client stopped coming. During the last consultation, the client said, 'My father wants to come see me.'"

"...How did Supervisor Weng handle it?"

"The counselor and the client cannot contact each other directly, so she contacted the client several times through her assistant to confirm that the client's personal safety was not a problem. She continued to monitor the situation for a while, and then let go."

Nan Zhuren remained silent.

"Teacher Nan, do you know what I mean by telling you all this?"

Without waiting for Nan Zhuren's reply, the bearded man answered on his own.

He said, slowly and deliberately, "We are just psychological counselors."

He said, "What do you want to do now, and what can you do—Teacher Nan?"

As a senior consultant at the consultation center, the bearded man had handled Chen Ting's file during the transfer process, but he refused to take it, so it was handed over to Bald Yang instead.

Finally, it was transferred from Bald Yang to Nan Zhuren.

Therefore, the bearded man knew what Chen Ting looked like.

That's why when Chen Ting and Wang An came over to talk to Nan Zhuren, the bearded man immediately noticed them; and considering the recent situation, he quickly understood what had happened.

So he then sped up his speech during the lecture, ending his part early to prevent Nan Zhuren from "going astray".

……

not far away.

Weng Pingting had just finished answering a student's question when she saw Nan Zhuren and the bearded man seemingly arguing about something.

"what happened?"

She walked over with a stern face.

Is there anything here that I need to know?

The bearded man remained silent, looking at Nan Zhuren.

Nan Zhuren remained silent.

Suddenly, Weng Pingting pointed at the big-nosed, small-eyed man who was walking briskly with his head down and asked Nan Zhuren, "Is he someone you know?"

Nan Zhuren looked at it and nodded: "It's someone from my previous research group."

Weng Pingting raised an eyebrow: "Since they're in the same research group as you, why were they so interested when you presented the case studies? Is your research group short of case studies?"

Nan Zhuren naturally had no idea, and simply shook his head: "I don't know."

Weng Pingting pressed on, "Then what do you know?"

This question clearly has a hidden meaning; it's no longer aimed at the research group, classmates, or case studies.

Instead, it was the "dispute" that both the bearded man and Nan Zhuren had previously kept silent about.

Nan Zhuren thought for a moment, then took a deep breath: "Sister Pingting, didn't I diagnose Chen Ting with PTSD before?"

"Correct."

“Now I know what her stressor is.” “Great.” Weng Pingting glanced at Nan Zhuren: “Then when she comes to us for consultation next time, you can follow up with intervention.”

……

After the lecture, the organizers and the invitees had at least one dinner together.

However, Nan Zhuren did not follow. He went out again to try to find Chen Ting, but she was nowhere to be seen.

Several students who seemed quite interested approached to chat, but unfortunately, due to the sensitive nature of the situation, Nan Zhuren couldn't let these students know that "the psychological counselor was looking for Chen Ting," and therefore couldn't ask them for help.

Ultimately, nothing came of it.

"So, Professor Nan, you came back alone? Didn't Jiang University invite you to dinner?"

After Nan Zhuren finished packing up the equipment and materials and went home, Shen Bing, his assistant and roommate, looked at him with considerable surprise.

"Is it because you were fired by them before that they don't like you now? Don't they even respect the supervisor?"

It's clearly a misunderstanding.

Nan Zhuren waved his hand, offered a few casual explanations, and went straight back to his room to sleep.

My consciousness sank, and my body, which had just been lying on the bed, was now sitting on the dream consultant's recliner.

Nan Zhuren felt a heavy weight in his heart, a feeling he couldn't escape even in his dreams.

Suddenly, a phantom screen appeared before his eyes.

【月度目标：1个月内完成“心理咨询”10小时（1/10），完成后进行1次“心理能力培训”】

This is the third monthly goal this month.

But Nan Zhuren clearly remembers that he didn't have any extra consultations today, and when he left home, he was only at [(0/10)].

Is it...

This afternoon I did two things related to psychology:
1. Comfort the female student who is having a panic attack.

Second, a lecture was given to share psychological case studies.

It's a pity I didn't get a nap in between, otherwise I could have gotten the answer directly.

"However, it's easy to rule out. Cases were shared at previous exchange meetings, and at that time, a group of psychological counselors were the ones being shared with, but the progress of the [monthly goals] did not change afterward."

"Using the process of elimination, it should be that 'comforting the female student who had a panic attack' caused the change in the [monthly goal]."

Furthermore, the act of "soothing a panic attack" sounds more in line with the definition of "counseling".

Nan Zhuren breathed a long sigh of relief.

After a depressing half-day, some slightly better news finally lifted my spirits.

With insufficient consultation volume, at least I have another way to complete tasks; although overall, relying on the platform to receive legitimate consultations is still the most efficient.

Even a mosquito's leg is still meat, and it's better than nothing.

Then, Nan Zhuren involuntarily turned his gaze to the side.

[Career Development: File 1 "Case File" (0/1), and complete 1 "Psychological Techniques Advanced Training" session.]

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Nan Zhuren went directly to Shen Bing.

Good morning, Teacher Nan.

Before Nan Zhuren could speak, Shen Bing preemptively congratulated her.

"One of our visitors, whom we hadn't been in contact with for a while, finally called me!"

Nan Zhuren usually has excellent control over his facial expressions, but this time he made a rare, dramatic expression.

His eyes lit up involuntarily.
