Chapter 643: Chapter 515: Second Update (2)

Over the years, by conservative estimates, nearly half of her patients have been completely cured, a quarter have greatly improved, and for the remaining quarter, she is powerless.

However, it is precisely these cases, where she is powerless, that are the hardest to assess.

Because many issues are only realized and understood by the patients long after, and only then can their treatment take effect.

She has encountered a few patients who left midway, but she rarely sends patients elsewhere for treatment.

She often receives messages or calls from patients long after treatment—

"Ms. Ning, when I received your treatment, I didn’t feel anything, but now I find that my life seems to have changed. Your treatment has indeed helped me a lot."

Sometimes, after finishing a case, she thought there was no effect.

But when she received messages from the client long after, she realized maybe it wasn’t ineffective.

It’s because of these situations.

She finds it hard to conclude the effects of the treatment with Shi Wangyue.

Yet reality stands there—

She asked him what he was like as a child?

He said, "I don’t remember."

She wanted him to talk about his parents.

He said, "Nothing much to talk about."

She asked about his ex or someone he liked.

He said, "None."

She asked him to talk about some people, things, or events in his life that left a deep impression...

He said, "It’s all in the past."

Not a word more.

After several consultations, Ning Youguang had long discovered that facing this big shot, any questioning techniques failed, whether closed questions, open questions, or step-by-step reasoning were meaningless.

But his mental and physical condition is extremely poor, with numerous emotional problems, schizophrenia, inability to calm down, insomnia, and difficulty in normal interaction that need to be addressed.

OK, nothing could be probed out.

Ning Youguang had no choice but to swap tools constantly to work with him, using family constellations, hypnosis, OH cards, singing bowls, drawing, music, and anything that could be used.

To become a healer who is genuinely helpful to a client, gaining the client’s trust is the most important premise.

Only when trust between the healer and the client is established, can healing occur.

After so many attempts, Ning Youguang had already discovered that while this big shot seemed so eager to seek her help, he hadn’t opened himself to her in the slightest.

The signals his conscious and subconscious sent her were—he simply hasn’t reached the point where he can be healed and is willing to change. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Facing such a closed and uncooperative client, even with the best patience, Ning Youguang felt extremely exhausted after such a long time.

Over her years in the profession, besides habitual liars, she hasn’t encountered ungrateful patients.

But Shi Wangyue is definitely the most difficult and ungrateful patient she has encountered.

As Jung once said: "In psychotherapy, there is one kind of patient who is very ungrateful, and that is the intellectual. Because they build a good ’partition of psychological space’ to separate behavior from psychology."

For these smart people, they always think that as long as their reason is not controlled by emotions, there is no problem they can’t solve.

However, what they don’t realize is that if one’s emotions are not well-developed, they still suffer the torments of mental illness.

A young big shot who commands the winds and rain in the capital world is definitely the brightest of the bright.

He is rational enough, his ability to create a ’partition of psychological space’ is also sufficient, correspondingly, the difficulty in treating him is at its peak.

As Jung also said, when dealing with patients like Shi Wangyue, she needs to use not just professional knowledge.

Beyond all theoretical assumptions, she needs to understand why he got sick at all.

Yet due to his lack of cooperation.

She simply cannot learn what happened in this big shot’s early years.

However, there is always a reason for the formation of any paranoid personality. If he couldn’t meet his soulmate in his dark life, couldn’t learn how to love.

Then he grows into a misanthrope with no affection for this world.

A genius, a loveless and misanthropic genius...

Once he loses his reason, it’s like triggering a hydrogen bomb.

What he would do is beyond anyone’s estimation and imagination.

In summary—

Danger!

Very dangerous.

It was only after truly engaging with him that Ning Youguang understood why there are countless people on the internet who use that famous Marx quote from "Capital" to curse him—

"When Shi Wangyue came to the human world, every pore dripped dirty blood."

He really would disregard the lives of countless people for money and profit.

He is indeed not kind-hearted, some of his actions are contemptible.

But every time she sees him, she can’t help but feel pity for him.

This person lives so miserably, so miserably.

If possible, she still hopes he can be better.

For psychotherapy to be effective, a close connection between the healer and the client is needed, so close that the healer cannot ignore any range or depth of the client’s pain.

Establishing this close connection relies on continuous comparison and mutual understanding, on dialectically facing the two opposing psychological realities.

If for some reason, these mutual impressions cannot affect each other, then the entire psychotherapy process will not be effective, and the patient’s condition will not improve.

Only when both the healer and the client care about each other can they find a treatment plan.
