Chapter 279: Closing the Door
readx;?“ Good. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Mr. Liang agreed, ready to tell Lu Ran what the question he wanted to consult.
"Uh...... Mainly my wife wants me to come for a consultation." Mr. Liang thought for a long time, but when he spoke, he still hesitated, and once again emphasized that the reason for coming to consult was his wife's urging.
Lu Ran nodded and did not interrupt him.
Lu Ran knew that Mr. Liang's explanation was more for himself.
Maybe he has some bad views on psychological counseling, and even has discrimination, so he needs to explain Lu Ran in front of him and let him not look at himself as a "patient".
Perhaps in Mr. Liang's past life experience, he has a narrow prejudice against people who come to psychological counseling, thinking that people who come to see psychologists are mentally ill, or what people call "neurotics".
For a long time, a large part of the people in China have such a rejection and fear when it comes to psychological counseling and finding a psychiatrist because of a lack of understanding of psychological counseling.
Most people are not used to, and do not seek help from a suitable counselor when they are confused, often by confiding in relatives or friends.
However, for some troubles that cannot be resolved, allowing the situation to deteriorate without choosing professional help will only lead to a bad result that is difficult to return.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this kind of prejudice and rejection in his heart that Mr. Liang is psychologically awkward and contradictory in the face of his own psychological counseling, and he is unwilling to admit it.
Lu Ran let him explain, and did not force him to immediately say what he had a problem and why he wanted to consult.
Fortunately, he had already expressed that he wanted to consult, and he also filled out the form. That is to say, his appointment is not all his wife's meaning.
"She just thinks I'm a little weird this time. Sure enough, after Mr. Liang finished explaining, he began to confide in the problem.
Lu Ran remembered that Mr. Liang had said the same thing once just now, he said that since he had an accident some time ago, his wife felt that something was wrong with him and persuaded him to find a psychological counselor.
What happened to him? Lu Ran's heart moved slightly, but he still didn't interrupt him, just nodded to indicate that he was listening.
"She thinks I've become a constant daze, I don't like to talk to her, I can't talk to her every day when I come back from work, and we often quarrel.
In short, she felt that I was abnormal. ”
It sounds like a couple who have conflicts and frictions in their lives.
Lu Ran may not have experience in the way husband and wife get along, and he is not in a hurry to express his views on this.
It is more professional for counsellors to continue to gather more information rather than giving advice based on one-sided statements too early.
Lu Ran returned to Mr. Liang's original question, and he asked Mr. Liang, "So, you came to me for consultation to solve the quarrel between you and your wife?"
Lu Ran is trying to clarify the goal of counseling between them, and only when he and the client reach a common goal of counseling can the conversation between the two work together towards the goal of solving the problem, and it will not become a small talk without a purpose.
Mr. Liang followed Lu Ran's question, thought for a while, and said, "Quarrel is a problem. But I also want to know...... Am I really abnormal?" he frowned, a slight look of indignation, as if he felt unreasonable to the person who said he was abnormal.
What Lu Ran saw from Mr. Liang's demeanor was that he did not agree with his wife's statement.
"Do you think you're normal?"
Hearing this question, Mr. Liang's eyes instantly widened and looked at Lu Ran, as if he didn't expect that someone would directly use this question to ask him seriously, which caught him off guard even more than his wife's accusation against him.
"I'm normal, of course it's normal. Mr. Liang affirmed directly.
"Then why does your wife think that you are abnormal? Because as you just said, she thinks that you are often in a daze and don't like to talk to her?"
"Hmm. After she insisted on that, I changed. My habit of closing the door became more obvious, and one time, she said that when she woke up in the night, I was there to close the door, and she was really scared of me. ”
Close the door?
And what exactly is that?
Lu Ran's questions became more and more numerous.
When Mr. Liang said this, he seemed to be talking to himself, and what he said was a bit inconsistent with the preface, which was really a bit abnormal.
Fortunately, Mr. Liang immediately realized that there were too many things to explain in his sentence, and he continued: "I will habitually close the door." ”
However, his explanation is obviously still too rough for Lu Ranyan, what is the door closed? This information is very crucial.
"Do you close the door once when you go home?"
Hearing Lu Ran's more specific question, Mr. Liang seemed a little reluctant, but he couldn't avoid it and said, "More than once." ”
"How many times have that?" Lu Ran continued with the question.
"I, I haven't counted, a dozen times. Mr. Liang gave an approximate figure, Lu Ran didn't know if he had said less, however, it was indeed not a normal behavior to close the door more than a dozen times a night.
"Why do you want to close the door a dozen times, is there something wrong with the door itself?"
"Well, the door should be fine. It's just that I need to make sure it's okay and it's turned off to be reassuring and sure it's okay, isn't it?"
Mr. Liang asked Lu Ran rhetorically, which sounded very reasonable.
If it was a friend of his, or a wife, he might have been stopped by what he said.
And then they began to argue whether this was true or not.
However, Lu Ran didn't answer whether he was right or wrong, but continued to ask: "Do you close the door frequently every day after you go home?
Mr. Liang didn't take much time to recall, and quickly replied: "I also check whether the door is closed during the day, but not as often as at night." ”
"Why?"
"During the day, it's not very convenient. I've been working, but I'm used to looking at the door, and if it's convenient, I'll walk over and close it again. However, when there are many people, it is always inconvenient. Mr. Liang explained.
Lu Ran's eyes moved, and Mr. Liang said this, indicating that he subconsciously restrained himself from closing the door.
However, if he really thinks his actions are normal, why should he refrain from them?
Therefore, his perception of himself is contradictory and inconsistent.
"You just said that your habit of closing doors has become more pronounced since 'that incident,' so have you closed your doors more frequently since that incident, or something else?"
"Let's just say it's more frequent, and now it's about thirty times a night. ”
Mr. Liang picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of coffee.
Lu Ran found that when he said this, he shook his legs slightly, and his eyes unconsciously glanced towards the door of the café.
"When did you start closing the door more frequently?" Lu Ran began to trace the time origin of his behavior.
"I can't remember this exactly, it's been almost half a year. ”
After listening to Mr. Liang's answer, Lu Ran preliminarily judged that he had typical symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder. (To be continued.) )
