Chapter 596: Marriage-phobic Patient

An experienced driver once said: test drive people don't have to pay, the service is good, and there are sweet words. People who buy cars have to spend hundreds of thousands to buy them home, and they also need to buy insurance themselves. So, let go of the desire to possess and enjoy the right to use. If you really like the car, sometimes the best way is to lease it, not to buy it outright.

On Sunday morning, because he had an appointment with a client, Lu Cheng went directly to his consultation room.

Mental illness is different from ordinary illness. Many people do not want to let others know even if they have mental problems, and they do not want others to know that they have seen a psychologist.

Moreover, since mental illness is usually not urgent, many people choose to see a psychologist in their spare time from work or study.

Therefore, Lu Cheng would occasionally receive weekend appointments. He would schedule them when he was in a good mood, and would turn them down when he was in a bad mood.

Before treating others for mental illness, Lu Cheng must first ensure that he is in a good mood.

When Lin Wanyu learned that Lu Cheng was going to work, she took the initiative to follow him. She wanted to familiarize herself with the situation at the company and see if she was qualified for the job.

Arriving at the company and opening the door of the consulting room, Lu Cheng casually greeted, "You don't have to be restrained, just take a look around. This is the front desk, and this computer is also configured for you. The assistant's job is mainly to answer customer calls, make appointments for visits, receive customers and register them. When necessary, arrange for customers to fill out questionnaires, organize customer files, etc.

The work is not complicated, but there are many details that need to be paid attention to. For example, being polite and enthusiastic when receiving customers, organizing files in a standardized manner, and understanding various materials..."

Although it is just a private psychological counseling room, the office space rented by Lu Cheng is not small. After entering the door and passing the front desk, there is a spacious waiting room with terraced sofas against the wall and independent sofa seats. The overall decoration style is warm and comfortable.

Some patients are more cautious and don't like to be too close to others, so they need some relatively independent seats.

In addition to the waiting room, there is a medical room, a consultation room, a dedicated treatment room, and a warehouse.

Seeing the Chinese medicine cabinet in the medical room, Lin Wanyu was also a little surprised: "Teacher Lu, aren't you a psychiatrist? Why are there so many Chinese medicines here?"

"Who says a psychiatrist can't be a Chinese medicine practitioner? In addition to a doctorate in psychology, I also have a master's degree in Chinese medicine. Moreover, Chinese medicine has unique advantages in treating certain psychological and mental illnesses."

"I see. That's amazing."

After a brief introduction and explanation of some precautions, Lu Cheng asked Lin Wanyu to sit at the front desk and familiarize herself with her workstation.

"Please familiarize yourself with your office first. Four patients will come between ten and twelve o'clock. Here is their appointment information. You can take a look first..."

After making the arrangements, Lu Cheng returned to the office, turned on his computer, briefly answered some online questions and answers, and then posted another article: "Exam syndrome is more terrible than you think."

Examination syndrome is also a kind of psychological disease. It refers to excessive tension before the exam, which can cause dizziness, insomnia and other symptoms. During the exam, the head will swell, the heartbeat will increase, the mouth will be dry, the hands and feet will tremble, and even dizziness and vomiting will occur.

This problem is not uncommon. It occurs most frequently among high school students, especially those in their senior year. It seriously affects students' test performance and may even cause them to fear tests.

In this era, this mental illness has not received enough attention, there are not many professionals to make professional analysis of it, and many parents usually do not pay enough attention to it.

This post by Lu Cheng lists the various reasons that may cause exam syndrome, the harm caused, and various tips to overcome it, followed by two or three small cases.

The entire post is detailed, clear, and full of useful information, which can play a very positive role in many patients with mild exam syndrome. For those with more serious cases, more in-depth treatment is required.

Lu Cheng has posted many posts like this in the past few months, all of which are related to various psychological and mental illnesses, and he has accumulated a group of fans as a result.

After posting, Lu Cheng checked the comment sections of some previous posts.

When it was almost 10 o'clock, two customers came to consult a doctor. Lin Wanyu warmly and generously completed the registration reception for them, then led a patient into the consultation room for consultation, and gave another patient a test questionnaire and poured a glass of water.

Seeing that Lin Wanyu got into the mood so quickly, Lu Cheng began to receive customers with confidence.

The first customer today is a 33-year-old man, an ordinary white-collar worker, with average looks and a medium income. Judging from his facial features, he is a rather honest person.

"Hello, doctor. I am getting married soon, but I am increasingly afraid of it. When I think of getting married, I get so nervous that I can't sleep, I get restless, I tremble all over, my mouth gets dry, I can't concentrate on anything, and I often lose focus...

I am now afraid of receiving a call from my girlfriend, afraid that she will urge me to buy a diamond ring or take wedding photos..."

"Mr. Ma, relax first and don't be nervous. If possible, turn your phone to silent mode and put it on the table. In fact, everyone will have some fear before marriage, which is normal. It's just that your situation is more serious.

Now, let me ask you a few questions. What do you like to do most outside of work? Or, what can make you happy? Fishing? Actually, I like fishing very much. I think fishing for carp should be done with..."

Lu Cheng first started with some light-hearted topics to gradually help the patient relax, and then began to slowly guide him to find the problem.

Throughout the whole process, Lu Cheng maintained a gentle attitude, as if he was chatting with an old friend, and they quickly became closer.

Afterwards, Mr. Ma began to slowly reveal his true feelings, including the setbacks at work, the conflicts with his future mother-in-law, the disagreements with his girlfriend over the diamond ring and wedding photos, etc.

To put it bluntly, the main reason why this patient is afraid of marriage is inseparable from the high betrothal gift required by his mother-in-law, his girlfriend's request for a diamond ring and wedding photos, etc.

The same mental illness has a variety of causes, and the treatment methods naturally vary from person to person, and some still require cooperation from family members.

After a detailed understanding and communication, Lu Cheng first comforted and enlightened the patient, and then gave some reasonable suggestions: "Marriage is indeed inseparable from material foundation, but material requirements beyond the scope of one's ability are a bit too much to ask. You can try to communicate first, and the two of you face it together...

If you have already taken 99 steps, but your fiancée is still unwilling to take the last step, perhaps what you fear is not marriage itself, but a marriage partner and her family that are not suitable for you...

Your conditions are not bad, if..."

After some guidance, Mr. Ma suddenly understood and thanked repeatedly.

"You're welcome. If you come again next time, you can bring your fiancée with you. If she is willing to face it with you..."

After Lu Cheng sent the first customer away, he did not immediately receive the second customer. Instead, he picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea, then opened the system panel and looked at the special "identification" skill.

The first-level identification skill can identify basic information such as a person's name, height, weight, age, etc. If this skill is upgraded, can more information be identified directly and accurately, which will not only facilitate the diagnosis of the disease, but also obtain a lot of useful intelligence?

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng clicked decisively and added points!
