Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!-Chapter 190 - 188 I Can Take On Ten More

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an immediate reaction.

Nan Zhubin saw a seasoned female teacher in her mid-thirties respond, "I just arrived, but Teacher Xue got here quite early."

Another young female teacher around twenty-five years old waved her hand, "I’m here because I have consultations today; Mr. Bai especially came over because he heard you were coming."

So it was "Teacher Xue" and "Mr. Bai."

Nan Zhubin nodded inwardly, matching appearances with names, and couldn’t help but lift the corners of his mouth a bit more from his social smile.

Suddenly, the screens of both teachers’ phones lit up.

[Teacher Ye: It’s normal to feel exhausted after two continuous hours of consultation, and he urgently needs relaxation once he comes out of the consultation room.]

[Teacher Ye: That’s normal; no proper consultant would want to stay in the consultation room indefinitely. After my consultations end, I don’t want to stay a second longer. No matter how soft the sofa is, sitting isn’t as comfortable as a chair in the office.] freewebnσvel.cѳm

[Teacher Li: Hang in there, Mr. Bai. This is the time when young Mr. Nan is most easily influenced.]

Teacher Xue and Mr. Bai exchanged glances and nodded.

Nan Zhubin walked straight to his workstation, pulled out a consultation record filled with notes, and then took a new blank sheet and placed it in his folder.

Mr. Bai took the chance to say, "Young Mr. Nan, how were the two consultations just now?"

Nan Zhubin’s expression clearly showed the pressure brought on by the consultations. Mr. Bai intended to use this topic as a pretext to persuade him to modify his opinions and reduce the number of consultations.

The consultant was indeed adept at finding entry points.

Nan Zhubin thought for a moment and shared some non-confidential parts: "They were alright, general psychological issues, or not even reaching the level of ’life confusion.’ None of them could be classified as psychological disorders."

Colleagues often exchange case insights, and Nan Zhubin thought perhaps these two teachers wanted to reconnect after not seeing him for some time.

He had witnessed such situations many times.

Considering the social aspect, he didn’t distance himself too much—what if he needed their help in the future?

"The first visitor developed an anxious mindset since childhood, which became unsuitable due to environmental change. Additionally, there might be deeper issues rooted in the family. The consultation felt good; I even found some therapeutic effect myself."

"The second visitor was simply a young person prone to overthinking, without any real issues, but—especially draining to talk to."

As he spoke, Nan Zhubin couldn’t help but rub his temples.

Teacher Xue seamlessly picked up the topic: "Especially tiring?"

Nan Zhubin thought for a moment and said, "At first, I thought it was something like ’fear of intimacy,’ but later found her thinking pattern generally normal, no traumatic experiences, and her family conditions were good in every sense. During the consultation, there were no extreme negative emotions."

"Later, it seemed more like a young person’s doubts about ’marriage,’ ’having children,’ the next life stages. Young people lack experience in the next phases of life and hence need external information to form their own cognition; but now there is too much chaotic information outside, and at this stage, the visitors aren’t capable of sorting through it effectively, so they get tangled up."

"The main consultation process involved about forty minutes of tactful ’teaching.’"

Compared to someone like Zhuang Junzhe, with a clear goal and high level of cooperation, the second visitor might have been more exhausting for the consultant. Because such visitors have more lively thinking, more variable topics, and greater emotional fluctuations, much of the consultations aren’t a test of consulting skills but rather a test of the consultant’s life experience, character, and emotional stability.

For consultants, solving a "psychological issue" easily addressed by clear consulting techniques is far simpler than tackling a "life confusion" that relies on personal aptitude.

Both consulting teachers understood immediately upon hearing Nan Zhubin’s description.

Mr. Bai smoothly picked up on his guided train of thought, "In that case, next—"

Just as he was about to finish, Mr. Bai only saw Nan Zhubin’s back.

The young consultant left the office without looking back, heading towards the consultation room after setting down his stuff.

Mr. Bai: ??? Didn’t he say he needed to rest in the office for a while???

Teacher Xue quickly tried to stop him, "Not resting a bit, Nan Zhubin?"

"I’m going to rest in the consultation room."

By the time the last words were spoken, Nan Zhubin’s figure had completely disappeared.

Mr. Bai and Teacher Xue exchanged puzzled glances.

The screens of their phones lit up simultaneously.

[Teacher Ye: How’s the situation now?]

[Mr. Bai: Hardly spoke, he came in to put something and then went out again.]

[Teacher Li: Put what?]

[Teacher Xue: Consultation record sheets.]

Consultation record sheets are things consultants bring into the consultation room, used to record visitor situations in real-time, preventing any detail from being overlooked. Consultants also use them to note down consultation ideas in written form to reduce mental load.

[Teacher Ye: Is there a possibility that young Mr. Nan came back to the office just to replace a record sheet, worried the previous visitor’s notes might be seen by the next visitor causing undesirable effects?]

[Teacher Li: So he doesn’t want any rest at all? Or prefers resting in the consultation room?]

[Teacher Ye: Which consultant would like to rest in the consultation room?]

Is it possible?

Both Teacher Xue and Mr. Bai fell silent briefly.

[Teacher Xue: Convincing young Mr. Nan during consultation breaks is not feasible anymore; we’ll have to wait and see when he has a physical reaction from consulting, then we’ll intervene in time. We might even have to take over his visitors, sigh... ]

[Teacher Ye: For the students’ sake, we can’t exactly tell them the consultant can’t take it anymore and has stopped, can we?]

[Teacher Li: And we don’t know which student scheduled the consultation that’s going along with young Mr. Nan on this madness.]

[Teacher Xue: Never mind, let’s wait a bit more.]

[Mr. Bai: Not a big issue, judging by young Mr. Nan’s current state, he might not be able to last through the next consultation...]

Teacher Xue and Mr. Bai exchanged glances and sighed.

The teacher in charge of the center looked at their interaction a bit strangely, feeling that perhaps he missed something.

"Mr. Bai, Teacher Xue, please try to think of a solution," he said worriedly, feeling the need to fulfill his responsibility as a supervisor, "I’m concerned that if Mr. Nan continues like this, problems will arise."

"I just noticed he seems a bit off; he might have issues after the next consultation."

...

Inside the consultation room.

Nan Zhubin rubbed his temples, feeling a slight throbbing pulse begin there.

With a thought, he pressed a certain switch in his mind.

[Spiritual Re-adjustment]

A slight sense of fatigue surged in, but the psychological pressure from the previous two consultations was instantly cleared away.

It was as if Nan Zhubin had cast off a heavy burden, letting out a long, relaxed breath; his thoughts became agile once more.

He energetically moved his neck around, "Alright, then let’s prepare for the next one."
