Chapter 108: Unclear Reason
In the elevators, subway stations, buses, and alleys......
Xu Le's answer consisted of words composed of fragmented locations, and entered Lu Ran's ears.
From the ear to the brain, it is compared and analyzed.
In the elevator, the places that move and rise, and the crowded places, these characteristics that Lu Ran had guessed in the past are all right.
However, if all of them match, it means that none of them match.
That's too broad.
How did the location of her illness suddenly generalize from an elevator to so many situations?
The source of the stimulus that made her sick suddenly became uncertain from a fixed point.
It's like a policeman who was originally on an empty playground, chasing a criminal, but the criminal ran out of the playground and into the crowd, his dress was not obvious, there were too many people, and there were too many obstacles.
Lu Ran was the policeman at this time, and he rubbed his eyebrows with his hand. At this moment, he was really a little curious, if it was Yu Kun, in the face of such a situation, what would he do to correct the other party's behavior?
After thinking for a while, Lu Ran said, "Are you suddenly feeling uncomfortable in these places one day?"
"It's not a day, it's a few days ago. ”
"That is, after you stop the treatment?"
"Hmm. ”
In this way, Yu Kun's treatment is not completely ineffective.
He may have helped her adjust some of the superficial symptoms, but he suppressed the underlying cause of the disease, so that after the treatment was stopped, it would become more severe.
Lu Ran was talking to her and continuing to collect information, while in his mind, he kept repeating elevators, subways, buses and alleys.
If the elevator is the thing she is most directly afraid of, then the subway in the morning is crowded, and the bus will move in the space, both of which have certain similarities with the elevator.
That is what Xu Le said in his mouth, "similar".
So, what does the alley have to do with the elevator?
"Can you tell me about that time, when you saw the alley, and then fainted?"
"Well, I remember I was going to a bank ATM, I wanted to withdraw some money, I asked for directions, and then I turned into a very narrow path, I thought it was a small alley, like a small alley, but there was no road in front of me to get out, and I was stuck there.
Then, then I felt my heart pounding so badly, and then I didn't remember, and when I woke up, I was already in the hospital. ”
"Was it a passerby who took you to the hospital?"
"Well, my colleague also knew about it, it affected my work very much, and my boss also knew, he gave me a vacation and let me rest, and I came here today. ”
Today is a weekday, not a weekend.
"Oh, I see. ”
Judging from Xu Le's description just now, the alley, the narrow alley, and the wall in front of her seem to be similar to the elevator.
When she is in a narrow space with walls on three sides, isn't it similar to the situation in the elevator?
Finding this similarity, Lu Ran had more comprehensive information.
Once again, he pieced together the information in his head.
If in the subway, she is afraid of crowding, in the bus, she is afraid of movement, in the alley, she is afraid of narrowness, that is to say, each location represents a characteristic of the elevator.
As long as there are similarities with the elevator, she may develop symptoms.
Well, the elevator itself is still the root.
If this symptom is allowed to develop, she may also develop in other places with similar features to the elevator.
But how to control her symptoms?
elevator, Yu Kun has tried to let her take the elevator, and she has done it before.
Why is it still ongoing?
Lu Ran's mind was spinning rapidly, but his eyes did not leave Xu Le, he was still maintaining a dialogue with Xu Le, and gave a positive response to what she said.
At this moment, Xu Le is describing how Yu Kun adjusted her behavior.
She felt strange herself, she thought she was healed, she was no longer afraid of the elevator, and she couldn't tell what the elevator was afraid of.
"Have you ever been in an accident in an elevator?"
"Nope. She thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"Is there any news about the elevator accident that affects you? Lu Ran asked very carefully.
This time, Xu Le thought about it for a longer time, but still shook his head.
She couldn't think of a clear reason for her fear of elevators, but she inexplicably had a panic attack when she went to work one morning.
This situation is really strange enough and confusing enough.
But Lu Ran didn't plan to give up, and he didn't show a distressed expression.
Because, just now, Xu Le's two shaking his heads made him jump out of a clear guess in his chaotic thoughts:
Her fear does not come from a clear cause in her consciousness, but from an unclear cause in her subconscious.
That is to say, the source of her fear, in her own sober memory, is not remembered, but there is something, or something, that stimulates her, and as soon as this stimulus appears, she becomes ill.
The problem is that she herself does not know the existence of this stimulus.
Could it be that she was not afraid of the elevator itself, but of a certain feature of it?
But so many characteristics can make her sick, how to determine which one, or which characteristics are the key?
"I'm going to do behavioral therapy for you. ”
Hearing Lu Ran's words, Xu Le was a little surprised.
"What? Aren't you doing hypnotherapy? Dr. Yu is the behavioral therapy I use, why, you have to use the same method to help me treat?"
Xu Le felt that she had already tried behavioral therapy and did it again, so what was the need for adjuvant therapy?
She didn't say it, but Lu Ran understood what she meant.
Lu Ran explained unhurriedly: "The behavioral therapy that Dr. Yu does to you is called 'systematic desensitization' in terms of method. The principle of systematic desensitization is to expose you to what you fear, little by little.
For example, first ask you to show a picture of the elevator, and when you feel that you can handle it and will not cause discomfort, then let you actually go to the elevator to the door, get close to it, or even touch it, and finally, try to stand inside.
And hypnosis can do all of this as well. ”
Xu Le seemed to understand, and she nodded in agreement.
It's just that when she nodded, her eyes were naturally closed.
Lu Ran's voice, in her ears, was clear and soothing.
"Okay, now, I'm taking you and walking into your office building, on the first floor, you walk into the door and you see the elevator door, next to the door, is the button on each floor.
You look at it, and if you feel like you can handle it, raise your hand and press the button for a floor. (To be continued.) )
