Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!-Chapter 187 - 185: How about forming a group to see Nan Zhubin?
Chapter 187: Chapter 185: How about forming a group to see Nan Zhubin?
Afternoon, 14:56.
Xia Tian glanced at the phone, looked at the consultation schedule, and then glanced back at the phone.
"Is the client really troublesome? They’ve been at it for almost an hour."
His handsome eyebrows couldn’t help but furrow slightly, a bit worried.
Tap-tap-tap——
Xia Tian’s expression changed slightly as ominous footsteps sounded at the door.
Noticing Xia Tian’s uneasy state, Chen Ting, who was sitting with him, proactively spoke up:
"Hello, do you have an appointment?"
The person who entered was a girl. She glanced around the consultation room before answering, "I have an appointment for a three o’clock consultation, I think it’s with... Mr. Nan?"
Indeed——Xia Tian’s heart sank.
A client had arrived.
The previous consultation hadn’t even ended yet, and the next client had already arrived——this scenario always sounded extremely unfortunate.
Behind them, in the consulting teacher’s office, the door was wide open.
The teacher in charge at the center sat at their desk, consultation notes spread in front of them. But their seat was angled toward the door, and it seemed their attention had long drifted away.
As for where their attention lay? Quite obvious.
Next to them, Teacher Xue, who had come earlier, had already finished their consultation in forty minutes, the standard time length, and was currently tapping away messages on their phone.
Jiang University Psychological Center has multiple consultation rooms, and while Nan Zhubin was conducting a consultation, Teacher Xue completed their work in another room.
[Teacher Xue: Hey everyone, Nan Zhubin is really back, he’s doing consultations at the center now!]
[Mr. Bai: Nan Zhubin? But didn’t something happen to him?]
[Mr. Li: After that incident, he can still do consultations?]
[Ms. Ye: Xiao Nan’s consultations were quite impressive back then...]
The turnover rate of consulting teachers at Jiang University Psychological Center is low; most of the current teachers employed there had collaborated with Nan Zhubin in the past.
For various reasons, they had a lasting impression of Nan Zhubin.
[Mr. Li: Is Xiao Nan’s consultation almost finished now... Kind of a pity, reckon we won’t get to see him today.]
[Mr. Bai: Teacher Xue, can you check when he has more consultations in the next few days?]
Long absent, it seemed the former colleagues missed Nan Zhubin quite dearly.
[Teacher Xue: There’s still time if you come now, Mr. Nan has six consultations today.]
[...]
[Mr. Bai, Mr. Li, Ms. Ye: ????]
Teacher Xue’s phone suddenly vibrated violently, as if news from other teachers was bubbling up like oxygen-deprived fish.
The commotion from the phone was so unexpectedly loud it even caught the attention of the center’s head teacher, watching from outside.
Teacher Xue quickly smiled at Jiang University Psychological Center’s nominal head, signifying it was nothing. On a side note, the head wasn’t in the group chat with the consulting teachers.
[Mr. Bai: Six consultations in one day?]
[Teacher Xue: Yes, none in the morning, but starting in the afternoon, it’s basically fully booked.]
[Mr. Li: ...Something’s off.]
[Mr. Bai: Agreed.]
[Ms. Ye: In more ways than one, it’s not right. Has Teacher Xiao Nan finished the first consultation yet?]
Trained consultants might actively or passively explore the limits of their capabilities. Once such a behavior is tried once, it’s unlikely there’ll be a second attempt.
That’s why the number mentioned by Teacher Xue seemed particularly unsettling. Six straight consultations could severely exhaust a consultant, affecting the quality of subsequent sessions—a disservice to both yourself and your clients.
[Ms. Ye: Isn’t this a problem? Didn’t Laoh He try to stop him?]
[Teacher Xue: Not sure, probably tried but couldn’t dissuade him. You need to handle these things carefully.]
Laoh He is a nickname for the center’s head because of his tall and dark appearance.
[Ms. Ye: Conducting consultations in this state seems impossible, doesn’t it?]
[Teacher Xue: Laoh He has monitored it; he said Xiao Nan’s previous consultation was even more effective than before.]
[Mr. Bai: How did this session go then, what was the client’s reaction?]
Hearing this, Teacher Xue glanced at the center head, then peeked outside.
[Teacher Xue: It’s been almost an hour, the next client has arrived, but it isn’t finished yet.]
[Teacher Xue: Wait... it’s out!]
Consultation Room No. 1’s door clicked open, and Zhuang Junzhe stepped out.
His face carried an expression of deep contemplation.
Xia Tian filled a disposable cup with water and, in her little boots, quickly strutted into the consultation room.
[Mr. Bai: What was the client’s reaction?]
[Teacher Xue: Compared to when he came in, there’s a huge disparity. He seems burdened, and the overall emotional level feels very low.]
[Ms. Ye: Possibly gathered too much to process at the moment, or maybe the consultation experience was simply unpleasant.]
[Mr. Li: It’s hard to say...]
[Mr. Bai: What was Xiao Nan’s reaction?]
Once again, Teacher Xue glanced outside only to find Xia Tian had exited the room, spoken a few words to the next female client, and then directly led her into the consultation room.
[Teacher Xue: He didn’t come out, went straight to the second consultation.]
[Mr. Bai: No break at all, so tightly scheduled?] ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
[Ms. Ye: Pushing this hard, he’ll be exhausted quickly.]
[Mr. Li: Usually, doing four is just about enough. If every session from now on takes a full hour without breaks, he could faint by the third one.]
[Mr. Li: I have a class; I’ll check the center after it ends.]
[Ms. Ye: Me too.]
[Mr. Bai: I’m heading there now.]
Although the teachers may not have consultations that day, their positions were formally attached to the Psychological Center, so they had workstations there.
On ordinary days without pressing matters, they might prefer to return to their own faculty offices; but if tired from faculty work, they often met at the center to sip tea, chat, and enjoy the specially procured music therapy relaxation chairs, emotional stress outlets, massage sofas, and so on.
But today, they were drawn by something else.
...
Nan Zhubin had no idea what was happening outside.
After Zhuang Junzhe left, he closed his eyes to steady himself.
[This consultation wasn’t too taxing]
[Initially, it was all about methodology, though there was a bit of empathy later, it didn’t heavily drain my emotional resources.]
A qualified psychological consultant, even without tools, can easily assess their mental state.
[If they all are of this difficulty level, I can probably last until the end of the third consultation.]
Then, use [Emotion Rebalancing].
With this thought, Nan Zhubin looked at the consultation room, awaiting the next client.
