In the psychiatric department of the hospital, the old doctor in a white coat lifted his glasses and was looking at the information card in his hand, and in front of him was a young man in his twenties.

"Dr. Liu, what's going on with my condition?"

"You're a little special, do you have any other discomforts?

"It's all normal, it's just that the countdown is like a ghost, always in front of my eyes, sometimes moving, sometimes not moving, is it because of too much pressure?"

"When will it move?"

"There are 36 minutes left in the countdown from the beginning to the end of the reception, and I don't usually move......

"What do you do?"

"I'm a counselor. ”

“......？”

There is still a difference between a psychological counselor and a psychiatrist, one is mainly talk therapy, and the other is mainly medication.

The cause of the incident happened a month ago, when counselor Yuan Jia suddenly found that there was an extra 'countdown' in his eyes, and at first he thought it was caused by fatigue, but the symptoms lasted for several weeks.

The countdown appeared from his open eyes, and every time he received a guest who came for counseling, the countdown began to move, 1000, 999, 998...... 36。

Apart from this countdown, there is no useful information.

"Doctor Liu, is the three-body problem about to invade the earth?"

Yuan Jia asked very seriously.

Dr. Liu pulled down a few black lines on his face, looked at Yuan Jia deeply, and considered whether to give him an electric shock treatment.

"I'm not kidding!

"Then since the countdown won't move when you're not serving guests, why don't you consider stopping work for a while?"

"I've tried, if you stop working, the countdown won't move, but it still won't disappear, but the color will become redder, and there are customers who have made reservations in advance, and I don't want to miss the appointment. ”

Dr. Liu nodded, picked up the list, and prescribed some soothing medicine to Yuan Jia.

"Take it once in the morning and evening, you can usually go out more often, and maybe it will be better to change the environment. ”

Dr. Liu said as he wrote, "In addition, read less novels, maybe you are too fascinated by it, and the mental pressure of life is great, so you have hallucinations, take medicine for a few days first, and then come back to me if it is not relieved." ”

......

After leaving the hospital, Yuan Jia looked at the medicine and diagnosis results in his hand, and was also a little speechless.

Alas, it was really taken as mentally ill......

However, this is also in his own expectation, as a psychological counselor, he can clearly affirm that his emotional state is fine, although the pressure is a little greater, but it will not hallucinate.

Chinese people are quite resistant to doing psychiatric treatment, but Yuan Jia will not, if there is a problem, he will go to the doctor, after a physical examination, the diagnosis is very healthy, the doctor recommended that he go to the psychiatric department, but unfortunately no problem was found.

What's going on with this countdown?

From the initial shock, Yuan Jia gradually accepted this fact, and was tortured by the countdown for a long month, and now Yuan Jia really wanted to see what would happen when the countdown returned to zero.

I'm afraid that at that time, if the three-body problem really wants to invade the earth, I can accept it calmly.

Yuan Jia is a master's degree student majoring in psychology, 26 years old this year, all said that this major is not easy to find a job, after graduation, relying on the financial support of his parents, he opened a psychological counseling firm in southern Jiangsu.

The store is not large, and the employees are only Yuanjia, mainly receiving emotional problem counseling, family problem counseling, adolescent psychological problem counseling, and neurosis counseling (depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobias, etc.).

It also includes psychometric tests and private counsellors.

It seems that Yuan Jia knows a lot of projects, and he is a master's degree in psychology, so it stands to reason that the business of the firm should be okay, but in fact, the small shops are about to close down.

It's not that Yuanjia's professional ability is not good, but that the times are changing too fast, and the competitive pressure in the psychological counseling industry is very high, and the psychological counselors who are not well-known are not enough to be trusted by outsiders.

But under the business model, there are a few 'famous teachers' and 'famous doctors' who are real forces.

There are many psychological counseling programs on the market, and all kinds of psychological counselors are mixed, and they will be on duty after a few days of training, and what customers want to hear, they will say some analysis that customers like to hear, and then let customers buy their courses to learn.

It is precisely because of this that an honest psychological counselor like Yuan Jia has a hard time, the fee is more expensive than others, and the speech is not as good as others, how can he do it?

can only boil slowly, boil until the word of mouth slowly ferments, relying on the introduction of old customers, if you don't starve, you will live.

In order to expand its business, Yuanjia has tried many ways, such as distributing leaflets and posting small advertisements, but this kind of publicity method has the opposite effect and lowered its own compulsion.

Later, he set up a public account and posted some emotional and psychological analysis on it, but the effect was minimal.

If this continues, I'm afraid that I will really hallucinate because of the pressure.

"Let's stay up for another two months and see, if I can't do it, I'll go back to school to teach." ”

Yuan Jia secretly planned, and there was a lot of reluctance in his heart, after all, this 'I know you' psychological counseling firm spent a lot of his effort and inherited his dream, and he really didn't want to see himself give up like this.

The mobile phone rang, and it was a note: Emotional Counseling - Miss Yang's client made an appointment with Yuan Jia last week to meet at the office at two o'clock this afternoon.

Yuan Jia cleared his throat, put his troubles behind him for a while, and put on a face of spiritual sunshine.

The image of a psychological counselor is also very important, a sunny counselor is more likely to gain the trust of clients, and emotions are contagious.

"Hey...... I'm Miss Yang, and I made an appointment with you last week. ”

"Hello Miss Yang, are you coming over now?"

"Oh no...... I'd like to put it off a little bit for an hour, something to do. ”

"Okay, no problem, then we'll see you at three o'clock in the afternoon. ”

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Jia shook her head helplessly, afraid that she would not come at three o'clock in the afternoon, in the appointment of psychological treatment, it is normal for guests to release pigeons, after all, no one wants to admit that they have psychological problems.

After a simple meal at noon, and a half-hour lunch break in the office, Yuan Jia cleaned up, picked up a boring psychological book from the bookshelf and began to read and study.

The time passed quickly, two o'clock, three o'clock......

At ten o'clock at three, Miss Yang hadn't come yet, Yuan Jia seemed to have expected this result, and waited for another five minutes, and was about to call back to ask, when the doorbell rang-

Here it comes?

According to the duration of the appointment of one hour, after meeting Miss Yang today, the countdown in his eyes will be cleared!

What will happen then?

Yuan Jia straightened his clothes and got up to open the door.
