Ding Qi pondered and replied, "I have already said it just now, it is emotional anxiety. What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of sleep? ”

Lu Fang: "Rest, of course. ”

Dingzi: "So what is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of rest?"

Lu Fang: "I'm retiring. ”

Dingzi: "That's the root of the problem. I can't say you don't want to retire and want to stay in a leadership role, but you do feel anxious about the changes that are coming, and you are very uncomfortable. You subconsciously feel that you can't adapt to life after retirement, from habits to feelings, and you don't want to embrace this change positively.

As for that dream, you only had it twice, and then you didn't do it again for a month. In other words, it doesn't cause distress, but it magnifies the anxiety you already have.

Dreams themselves are not a problem, each of us may have had nightmares. It may be that you have been to a place, environment, and atmosphere that is more depressing, so it stays in the impression, like a certain mood. What you're worried about isn't the dream, it's about an unfamiliar situation, about leaving everything you've been familiar with and nostalgic for so many years. ”

Lu Fang nodded again and again: "Doctor Ding is very reasonable, then how should it be treated, can you give me a hypnotherapy?" I heard that you are a hypnotist, I came here for this!"

Ding Qi was still thinking about it just now, but she brought it up first. Ding Qi smiled and nodded: "If you ask, we can try, but we need your cooperation"

After entering Lu Fang's deep hypnotic state, it was not difficult for Ding Qi to guide her back to that dream scene. Ding Qi came to that mysterious and difficult place again, it was still a continuous red hill, which seemed to be the scene of Xiaochishan Park, but he could not see the Yangtze River, there was a clear stream in front of him, and the sky was close to dusk.

The foot is the same starting point, but the path ahead is different. Ding Qi witnessed the place through Lu Fang's senses, and Lu Fang walked along the stream to the depths of the rolling hills, surrounded by sparse ancient trees and flowers. The sky was getting darker, and the trees in the distance seemed to be dark. The atmosphere is very eerie and solemn, and it is indeed a little scary to walk alone in such a place.

Ding Qi can already determine that this is a place that exists in reality, and it is in Jinghu City, but unfortunately he can't find it, and the people who have found it seem to have forgotten. Tian Qi's situation is difficult to say, but Lu Fang and Tu Zhi really forgot about it, but they just regarded it as a dream for their own reasons, or relived the scenes they had experienced in the dream.

But Ding Qi's subconscious did not forget that he was a psychiatrist, and he entered Lu Fang's spiritual world, not only to satisfy his curiosity and desire for verification, but also to treat the other party's psychological problems.

Ding Qi's voice said slowly: "When people are depressed, they will feel depressed by the environment, or recall the environment that once made you feel depressed. But when you realize why you have emotional anxiety, you have to know how to adjust it, the wind here is warm, the scenery is beautiful, and the mood is comfortable."

This is not reality after all, but just a scene in Lu Fang's spiritual world, which is induced by Ding Qi's hints in a state of deep hypnosis. This is equivalent to modifying a certain subconscious, and while the mood is changing, it is also changing the environment in the spiritual world.

The current spiritual world is no longer just a dream that Lu Fang once had or an experience she had forgotten, but has become the result of Ding Qi's subconscious modification, and it still retains the original scene, but the atmosphere and feeling are different. Continuing along the spring and the breeze, I suddenly heard the sound of rustling in the grass on the shore.

Lu Fang turned her head to look and saw a strange little thing coming out of the grass. Ding Qi saw clearly this time, this little thing was white, it looked like an oyster mushroom, but it was much larger than the king oyster mushroom, the top was slightly yellow, it was round and not umbrella-shaped, the whole body was about a foot long, and there were two bifurcations like arms, and it looked like a fleshy baby.

It hides in the grass during the day and is invisible, and only when it gets dark does it emerge from the soft earth, its arm-like branches spread out and babble. Ding Qi remembered that the scene shown in Tu Zhi's spiritual world was daytime, and it was no wonder that this strange creature was not found.

In the state of deep hypnosis, Lu Fang did not react much. Ding Qi's voice said again: "What a cute little thing, it's so cute, I feel soft when I look at it, I really want to touch it." ”

Lu Fang walked over, bent down and stroked the little fleshy thing very gently, and her whole body and mind became relaxed and comfortable, maybe in her real experience or dream, she did not do this kind of action, nor did she feel like this, this is the result of Ding Qi's hint induction in the deep hypnotic state.

After leaving Lu Fang's spiritual world, Ding Qi told her that she could open her eyes and speak. Lu Fang opened his eyes, but in fact, he was still in a hypnotic state, Ding Qi said: "You will sleep beautifully, and when you wake up, you will forget all this, just remember that it is a very comfortable experience, and you will sleep peacefully every day in the future."

Ding Qi "modified" Lu Fang's subconscious, and when Lu Fang woke up, she would not remember the experience in the hypnotic state. His doing so may also lead to another result, that is, Lu Fang may gradually forget the dream he once had, and even if he remembers it, he may not be the original situation and feelings, or he will not have that dream at all.

This also means that Ding Qi's clue that he wants to pursue the "Great Red Mountain" or "Xiaojing Lake" from Lu Fang is broken, and he shouldn't even mention it to her again. But as a psychiatrist, Ding Qi must do this, which is his professional ethics, first of all, to ensure that the psychological problems of the help-seekers are solved, and not to make their symptoms worse or even lead to mental abnormalities.

This result may be regrettable for Ding Qi himself, but it is the best for Lu Fang. A psychiatrist is a psychiatrist, and he cannot do personal work or have personal intentions at this time.

As he spoke, Ding Qi stood up and walked in front of Lu Fang, and suddenly stretched out two fingers and pointed at her eyes. Lu Fang's eyes subconsciously closed and did not open them again, and then her eyelids began to flutter rapidly. Ding Qi had been watching her intently, breathing softly and barely making a sound.

Lu Fang fell asleep like this, she didn't sleep lying down, but leaned back on the sofa, with two large soft pillows on either side of her body. When Tintzi hypnotizes people in the consultation room, he usually asks the hypnotized person to prepare this pose. He waited until there were fifteen minutes left in three hours before he woke Lu Fang up.

Lu Fang rubbed her eyes, sat up straight and stretched her arms, and said with a somewhat dazed expression: "Oh my God, how long have I been sleeping? It's been a long time since I've slept so comfortably and so steadily!"

Ding Qi smiled: "You slept for about two hours, drink a glass of warm water first, and relax a little." ”

Lu Fang exclaimed, "It's only been two hours, I feel like it's been a day and a night, Doctor Ding, you're so amazing!"

Ding Qi: "It seems that the hypnotherapy effect this time is good, after you go back, you must continue to consolidate and do a good job of self-adjustment in mentality." We have just analyzed the causes of your psychological problems, and if you want to solve your problems, deep down you can't adopt a deliberate avoidance or passive confrontation attitude. ”

Lu Fang: "I think I figured it out, but how to do it?"

Dingzi: "Let's set a small goal first. You have a card with you and take it out to look at in the following two situations. The first is when you think of leaving your workplace to retire and feel that you don't know what to do in the future, and the second is that you always want to reminisce inexplicably, recalling the work and life experience in the company over the years.

Write two sentences on the card, don't always remember what you've done, think about how many things I still wanted to do but didn't.

Everyone may have a lot of ideas, such as what to do when they have time, they can use their interests and specialties, they can satisfy their hobbies, they can feel happy and comfortable, but they don't do it at all. The words on the card can be printed, and if it is handwritten, you must write it yourself, and it is written carefully one stroke at a time. ”

Lu Fang nodded and said, "I understand, Doctor Ding, I will definitely do it." ”

Since she woke up, she hasn't mentioned the dream she had ever had, and she may not have completely forgotten it at the moment, but in the absence of a stimulus reminder, she won't deliberately think about it anymore, and of course Ding Qi didn't mention a word. The effect of Lu Fang's psychological treatment this time is very good, if nothing else, there should be no problem.

Lu Fang is fine, but Ding Qi's mind that has gradually subsided has been reawakened, and it is like a spark in his mind, and he can't hold it back. After leaving the hospital, he drove straight to Kochiyama Park and stayed in the park until dark.

There are several flat open spaces in Xiaochishan Park, which are lit at night, and many citizens exercise during the two periods of sunrise and dusk. Originally, there were people who played tai chi, practiced swords, and sang flower drum operas, but in the past two years, almost all square dances have been co-opted and divided into several spheres of influence for square dances.

Ding Qi walked through the music of singing and dancing, and finally came to the pavilion that Lu Fang said. This is the highest view of the entire park, but the view is blocked by the surrounding trees. There are dozens of towering trees scattered around, all of which are hung with the signs of ancient and famous trees in Jinghu City, which should be the remains of the original Chishan Temple.

Ding Qi was wearing a black cashmere trench coat, which Jiajia had picked for him last year, walking in the gloomy shadows of the trees at night like a ghost, wandering around without knowing what he was looking for. Later, he sat alone in the gazebo for a long time, as if he had lost his mind, and his thoughts flew and he thought of a lot.

He thought of aliens, gravitational waves, and almost opened up a cosmic wormhole, as well as the myths and legends of the cave heaven and blessed land, the enchantment fairyland, and any door in the fantasy story, etc. He always felt that there were some places in this world that people couldn't see, but if he was not careful, he would stray into them, maybe he was walking and walking, and he would enter for some reason.

I don't know how long it took, the imaginary Ding Qi came back to his senses, and found that the sky had completely darkened, and the wind was very cold, he subconsciously wrapped his windbreaker, took out his mobile phone and took a look, the time turned out to be more than nine o'clock in the evening. He entered the park around seven o'clock in the evening, and he didn't feel like he had been sitting here for a while, so why was it so late?

Ding Qi frowned, and suddenly thought of a possibility, did he have already been to that place, but had forgotten it.

Why did he have this thought? What happened to Tian Qi's experience is impossible to delve into, but what is certain is that Tu Zhi and Lu Fang have also been to the same place, and they have forgotten about it afterwards. Then there is an assumption that the place can actually be found, but what people experience in it will be forgotten later.

If that's the case, it's a mysterious place that theoretically exists and can't be discovered. Because even if you've been there, you'll forget it when you look back. Is there such a place in the world? But how can Tinzi's discovery be explained if it were not? Tinzi then comes up with a theological paradox.

A certain group of theologians in the Middle Ages gave an answer, mainly two: first, God exists, and second, God's existence is beyond mortal cognition and is indescribable.

The existence of God is not recognizable to mortals, that is, if it cannot be proved, but then declares its existence, the theologian does not need to prove what he says. No wonder it is said that "when man thinks, God laughs", but whether God laughs or not, you don't know.

Ding Qi was thinking and smiling bitterly, he didn't want to prove whether God existed, he was just looking for the Great Red Mountain and the Little Realm Lake, solving unknown puzzles. At this moment, he suddenly received a WeChat message, which was sent by Ye Xing: "Doctor Ding, how is the treatment for Mr. Lu this afternoon, the effect is not bad, right?"

Since Ding Qi came to Boci Medical, he has not met Ye Xing much, and every time he meets, he just simply says hello, and he doesn't know what the chairman is mysteriously busy with every day. For the first time in such a long time, Ye Xing took the initiative to contact Ding Qi.

Ding Qi suddenly thought of something, and immediately replied: "The treatment effect is not bad, Mr. Lu should have no problem." Mr. Ye, when do you have time, I want to talk to you and ask you something. ”

Ye Xing replied: "I have time now, let's find a place to have a supper together, have you driven? If you drive, come and pick me up." Then an address came.

This address is far enough, in the Yuling District in the south of the city, Ding Qi remembered that he hadn't eaten dinner yet, and his stomach was already rumbling with hunger, so he hurriedly walked out of the park and drove to the south of the city to pick up Ye Xing. After Ye Xing got in the car, Ding Qi asked, "Mr. Ye, where are we going for supper?"

Ye Xing: "I know a place, not far from Boci Medical, let's go there." As he spoke, he glanced at the odometer and said in surprise, "It's only been two months, and you've run more than 8,000 kilometers, why did you go?"

Ding Qi: "I've been looking for a place recently, but I haven't found it, and I've been looking around the city and the countryside. Looking for Mr. Ye today, it is also related to this matter. ”

Ye Xing glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, if there is anything to do, sit down and talk slowly, we can talk while eating." ”

Ding Qi had a feeling that Ye Xing's glance just now seemed to be secretly happy, could it be that he had expected that he was going to come to him, or was he just waiting for himself to come to him? Ding Qi ran from Xiaochishan Park to the south of the city, and then drove back from the south of the city back to the vicinity of Boci Medical Care, the distance was not close. Ye Xing's place was a food stall, very close to his residence, and it was almost eleven o'clock when he arrived.

Although it was late, there were still many diners, so they found a table and sat down, ordered two steaming pots, a pot of crayfish and a pot of fish offal, and ordered two plates of cold dishes. The taste of crayfish and fish offal is salty and spicy, Ye Xing said: "Let's have some beer." ”

Dingzi: "I drove. ”

Ye Xing: "It's just a substitute driver, no, your dormitory is nearby, throw the car here, walk a few steps and go back." ”

Ding Qi took a ** wine and said, "Then I'll accompany Mr. Ye to have a few drinks." ”

Ding Qi didn't eat dinner, so he drank beer from the pot, and the strength of one glass after another came up quickly, and he had something on his mind, and he drank a little too much unconsciously. Seeing that the two ** beers had dried up, Ye Xing didn't ask Ding Qi what he was looking for, just chatting about gossip in the hospital. Ding Qi finally took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Ye, is Mr. Lu of the Urban Construction Group your friend today?"

Ye Xing: "Yes, I met at the wine table, although she is a female leader, she is very bold and has a good amount of alcohol." ”

Ding Qi: "Last month, there was a Mr. Tu Zhi, I heard that he also knew you, and you recommended him to come to me. ”

Ye Xing: "Yes, friend of my friend. What's wrong with these two people, is there anything wrong? Did Mr. Ding discover something? In this world, there are indeed many mysterious things that are difficult to understand, if you have any special discoveries, you might as well tell them and listen to them. ”

Listening to his tone, it was obvious that he knew something. Ding Qi leaned closer and said: "I recently encountered a very strange thing, which is indeed related to these two people, including the former mentally ill Tian Qi, they may have been to the same place, but I can't find it." I've driven more than 8,000 kilometers in two months, and that's why I've driven for the most reasons."

Ding Qi drank too much, and his mind was very heavy, he really couldn't find anyone to ask. Ye Xingzeng's impression on Ding Qi was very mysterious, plus Tu Zhi and that Lu Fang had been introduced by him, and there was a clear hint in Ding Qi's words just now that he knew something, and Ding Qi said all the recent confusion as soon as he opened his mouth.

From the time he gave Tian Qi a "diagnosis", what he found and what he did, even including the conversation between him and Lao Yangtou.

The last time I had dinner with Ye Xing, the two of them drank rice wine, and after a while, Ye Xing looked like he had drunk too much. Today in the stew pot of the food stall, he drank beer, Ding Qi drank too much, but Ye Xing's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he was not the slightest drunk.
