Chapter 393: Cognitive Therapy

In fact, people often have a misconception about people with depression, that is, those who always behave positively, optimistically and cheerfully will not have depression. But in fact, on the contrary, those who rarely show negative emotions and are always greeted with a smile are actually more likely to suffer from depression, because it is a manifestation of not being good at venting their negative emotions.

This type of person often forces himself to pile up those sad and painful things in his heart in order not to worry about him. The main character of this kind of person is not the more superficial things such as cheerfulness and liveliness, but the character of preferring to be uncomfortable and not wanting to cause trouble to others, but not minding others to trouble themselves.

And Hu Peihan is actually a person with this kind of personality, in fact, Qin Yi has observed some signs before that Hu Peihan may be depressed, but he did not pay further attention to her, because Hu Peihan has always been very positive in the class. However, Qin Yi should continue to observe, this can be regarded as his negligence.

He is dashing in the face of you, and turns around and wants to kill himself. This is the most straightforward description of a depressed person.

"Really, it's been more than half a year, so you're conscious?" Qin Yi asked with a sigh.

"I don't know...... Maybe it's a little longer, and I don't know exactly what depression is, but that's when I started to feel suicidal. Hu Peihan lowered his head and said, looking extremely depressed and depressed.

Seeing this, Qin Yi no longer continued to walk with her, but found a stand on the edge of the playground and sat down, and continued to ask: "Is it possible that it started when you took the high school entrance examination? The early symptoms of depression are low mood, not feeling happy, and it takes a while to develop into a situation where you are unwilling to contact with the people around you and even commit suicide. ”

"Maybe......" Hu Peihan covered his face and muttered, "I just felt a lot of pressure at first, why did everyone count on me? Why did the teacher ask me to help everyone make friends? Because I was easy to talk to? But I didn't want to talk to those strangers...... But I can't help it, I can only force myself to smile at everyone around me......"

Qin Yi handed her a pack of tissues, Hu Peihan wiped his tears and said, "However, I actually feel really tired in my heart, I don't want to talk to those people at all, and I don't even want to talk to anyone all day." It scared me, so I forced myself to say at least a few words to everyone around me, I thought it would be better, but ......"

"It seems that ......it was really caused by pressure," Qin Yi held his chin and muttered.

Qin Yi speculated that Hu Peihan's pressure initially came from the high school entrance examination. Hu Peihan himself is indeed the kind of hearty character who can afford to joke, but no one can not mind any jokes, everyone has a bottom line that cannot be touched.

Once, Qin Yi saw a boy in their class pointing at Hu Peihan in front of her and scolding her for being a hypocritical female cousin. This kind of talk is usually intolerable for girls, but fortunately, after the boy finished speaking, he also regretted it, realized that he had said too much, and immediately apologized to Hu Peihan, so Qin Yi did not intervene in managing this matter.

However, Hu Peihan's performance at that time was unexpectedly calm. She looked at the other party with a smile, as if waiting for the other party to realize that she had done something wrong, and that attitude was actually very strange. At that time, Qin Yi didn't think about it carefully, but now that he thinks about it, he understands that Hu Peihan is actually not really hearty, but has been suppressing his emotions.

I'm afraid that the pressure of the high school entrance examination is already a shot for Hu Peihan, but in front of the students in her class, the characteristics of "good temper" and "easy to talk" have been ingrained, and even the teacher praised her because of this, just like Qin Yi, who handed over those students who were not good at communicating with others to her.

Therefore, in order not to let everyone think that she is abnormal, in order not to disappoint everyone, Hu Peihan had to suppress her emotions when she was angry and depressed, and forced herself to do those things she didn't want to do.

The cause has been roughly guessed by Qin Yi, and the rest is how to treat depression.

By far the most direct and effective way to treat depression through psychotherapy is "cognitive therapy", which is to change the patient's perception of something through repeated emphasis and teaching.

However, this kind of cognitive therapy, in fact, is a bit similar to brainwashing, which requires a long period of repeated indoctrination of the same type of knowledge and theories to be effective. However, Qin Yi has a more direct and rapid therapy, that is, through the subconscious implantation of hypnosis to quickly instill this theory into the patient, and let this theory be deeply rooted in the patient's mind.

This therapy may be a bit risky for the average person, because subliminal implantation is a more difficult type of hypnosis that the average person cannot control. But fortunately, Hu Peihan's homeroom teacher is the best hypnotist in the world, so ......

"Peihan, do you believe the teacher?" Qin Yi asked as he grabbed Hu Peihan's shoulder.

"Of course, since you became our homeroom teacher, you have been working hard for us, and you are genuinely thinking about our future, I have heard the students in the class say it. Hu Peihan immediately replied, "That's why I want to help the teacher as much as possible...... As a result, in the end, it caused trouble for the teacher and injured the teacher......"

"Okay, can you go to the library with the teacher? I need to do some psychotherapy with you in private, in a quiet environment, not to be disturbed by other people. Qin Yi smiled and said, "If you are worried about what the teacher will do to you, the teacher can let Teacher Xia supervise ...... beside you."

Hu Peihan shook his head: "I believe the teacher, if Teacher Qin is the kind of teacher who will molest students, the girls in the class will not like you so much!"

"Oh, the girls in the class like me very much?" Qin Yi smiled with interest, "It really makes the teacher a little shy." ”

Hu Peihan just barely squeezed out a smile, as if he wanted to cooperate with Qin Yi's joke, seeing this, Qin Yi hurriedly took her to the library. It's out of school by now, and there's no one else in the library.

"Alright, sit down in the most comfortable position you have. Qin Yi asked Hu Peihan to sit down on the sofa, "Okay?"

Hu Peihan nodded, and then Qin Yi continued: "So, next, you listen carefully to what the teacher says, and then imagine the picture described by the teacher in your mind, OK?"

Hu Peihan nodded again, Qin Yi cleared his throat and said softly: "So, imagine that you are lying on the beach now, have you ever been to the beach? The delicate sand sticks to your skin, and the touch is like soft silk, gentle and warm. It's time for the sun to set, and the temperature isn't as hot as during the day......"

With Qin Yi's description, Hu Peihan's whole person became drowsy.

"It's okay, close your eyes and rest for a while, this is your own beach, no one will disturb you, you can stay on this beach until tomorrow morning......" Qin Yi finally whispered in Hu Peihan's ear.

Immediately, Qin Yi waved his hand in front of Hu Peihan, but the other party did not react and seemed to have fallen asleep.

"So, Pei Han, did something happen to you before the high school entrance examination? Who did you quarrel with? Is it a classmate, a friend, a family member, or a teacher?" Qin Yi asked unhurriedly, he needed to determine the cause again.

"It's a good friend of mine in junior high school......" Hu Peihan replied softly, "I ...... one day"

With Hu Peihan's eloquent story, Qin Yi can be regarded as knowing the cause and effect. As he guessed, Hu Peihan had a quarrel with a male classmate with whom he had a good relationship one day, and the reason was just that her boy made a joke with her, but Hu Peihan may have been in a bad mood that day, and then he broke out and had a big fight with the boy.

It was precisely because of this incident that the boy completely broke off with her, and the last thing he said to her was: "Are you nervous?

It was because of this incident that Hu Peihan began to force herself to ensure that she always maintained a positive and cheerful state as much as possible, and then slowly accumulated, which led to her depression symptoms. However, the question is actually the boy's problem. How can there be such a stingy boy? Just because of such a thing, he broke off with a girl.

"Listen to Peihan," Qin Yi said softly, "Everyone will have bad moods, and it's right to vent it." The reason why that guy broke off with you was not because you lost your temper with him for some reason, but because he wanted to break up with you for a long time. He has a new little girlfriend, and his girlfriend doesn't like that he and you continue to be so close. That's why he deliberately made that kind of excessive joke with you, and then took the opportunity to cut off the relationship with you, not because you lost your temper. ”

Of course, although these are only Qin Yi's speculations, they are not random speculations but have a basis. If a boy somehow breaks up with a girl who has a good relationship, and he hasn't been in contact with him for so long, it's probably because a certain girl that the boy likes doesn't like the two of them very much, and he is embarrassed to say it directly.

Qin Yi patiently explained this matter to Hu Peihan, and then planted the concept of "it is normal to vent emotions appropriately" in Hu Peihan's mind. This is actually cognitive therapy, but it is a subconscious implant to achieve rapid cognitive change. It's just that the average psychiatrist is not sure about subconscious implantation.

To be precise, it is the ability of subconscious planting, which is actually beyond the grasp of ordinary people. This ability is terrifying if used properly, and subconscious planting can root a consciousness in the human mind and form a cognitive concept.

It's as if a person knows that if he puts his hand into the fire, he will be burned, and if he doesn't eat, he will starve to death. If you master the technique of subliminal planting, you can change your mind.
