Chapter 1: A Collection of Grotesque Psychology Cases
"Son, don't blame Dad for being useless, the business in the tobacco and alcohol industry is not good during this time, and Dad is also struggling, I have sent away the guys who work in the store, and I can't afford to pay the salary. ”
Lu Ran listened to his father's words on the other end of the phone, his heart was inexplicably sour, and he hurriedly said, "Dad, where do you say, how can I blame you, I only blame me for being an intern now, I don't make much money, and I can't subsidize my family." Lu Ran said, feeling deeply guilty.
Alas, it's not that Dad doesn't support your interest, but seeing that you have graduated for almost half a year, your job is still not secure, and you also know the situation at home. ”
Thinking of his father, who is nearly fifty years old, working hard every day, and sending money to himself who has graduated from college, Lu Ran can't wait to return to his father now, do some business for him, help him out, and do something for him.
Lu Ran is not an unfilial son. In the past six months, or even the past ten years, my father has spared no effort to support his dream, that is, to become an excellent psychologist.
This idea is not groundless, because when he was still a minor, he once witnessed his father being deceived into giving his hard-earned money to a rhetorical businessman, but he never disappeared. Fortunately, my father was young and could withstand the blow.
Since then, he has been determined never to be deceived by anyone again.
After going to middle school, Lu Ran happened to see a book introducing psychology in the school library, which talked about a technique called hypnosis, which is particularly magical, which can make people obediently tell the truth in their hearts and not lie, isn't this his dream?
He told his father that he wanted to become a psychologist in the future and would never let his father be deceived again. At that time, my father couldn't have been happier.
When he applied for university, he chose psychology, and he dreamed of becoming a counselor after graduation and doing the profession he loved.
However, it wasn't until he graduated from college and entered a professional psychological counseling agency for an internship that he realized that graduating from college was only the first step in realizing his dream and becoming a professional psychological counselor.
Because this is a typical "aristocratic profession", the bachelor's degree is not enough to become an excellent psychological counselor, and the classmates who interned with Lu Ran, some are master's graduates, some are turtles studying abroad, and some are people who have participated in psychological counseling technology training for many years after graduation (the training is expensive).
These senior talents are all gathered in the psychological counseling agency where Lu Ran interned: "Blue Ocean".
Blue Ocean is the largest and most professional psychological counseling agency in the whole magic capital, where interns are retained, and there are very few places to become formal counselors.
Other smaller institutions do not have generous conditions for less experienced graduates.
Lu Ran knew this reality, but in the past six months, the family's economy has deteriorated, and he can only make a desperate bet. He has been under pressure all the time, hoping that his serious work attitude can impress the teachers of the blue ocean.
Blue Ocean implements a mentorship system, an experienced consultant who will mentor several interns. Lu Ran's mentor is an old professor over fifty years old, named Zhang Xiaoming.
Just a few days ago, Mr. Zhang told him that he admired Lu Ran's down-to-earth work and self-learning spirit, but compared with the same batch of interns who came in, his advantages were not obvious.
Lu Ran knew that Mr. Zhang was tactfully telling himself, and there was not much chance of retention. However, Mr. Zhang still affirmed his efforts and encouraged himself to stick to his dreams, saying that he would definitely fight for himself again.
Then he sent some professional books to Lu Ran and asked Lu Ran to take them back to read.
Lu Ran was very moved.
But I felt very helpless when I received a call from my father today.
Hanging up the phone, Lu Ran sat at the desk and looked sad. He was struggling in his heart, did he really go back like this? Ten years of perseverance have come to naught?
He thought to himself, it would be nice if there was a way to have both worlds, and I really hope that he could still have the opportunity to show his abilities to the teachers, stay in the blue ocean, and make money to send home.
He stared at his desk.
This is a single room rented by Lu Ran, which is not large, and the table is full of his favorite books.
Suddenly, he saw a dark green book in the middle of the layers of books, but there was no title and author written on the back of the book.
Aren't these books given to me by Mr. Zhang? Why doesn't this book have a title?
Lu Ran was puzzled, and pulled out the dark green book from the thick pile of books.
The outer skin of the book is leathery to the touch, like it is made of cowhide, which makes Lu Ran feel a little strange, a book that is not thick is wrapped in such a thick skin, and it is still a dark green color.
When he turned the front of the book over and saw the title printed on it, he suddenly felt even more strange.
"Weird Psychology Casebook? What kind of weird book is this? He opened the book and flipped through it quickly.
"Why is it all blank? is this a book or a notebook?" he flipped through and overlooked, and suddenly, he saw words on the first few pages of the book, like human handwriting, rather than printed fonts.
Could it be that this is Mr. Zhang's consultation notebook?
He read it carefully with questions.
Case Log: Mr. Wong, 32 years old, social phobia. Counselor: Zhang Xiaoming...... "It seems to be Mr. Zhang's notebook.
However, Lu Ran looked at it and frowned, he felt that something was wrong, why didn't he remember that he had heard Teacher Zhang talk about this case?
His eyes looked back again, stopping at the beginning of the case record, counselor: Zhang Xiaoming, and the first consultation was on December 6.
December 6th?
Today, isn't it the number 6?
Lu Ran was a little surprised, these books were given to him by Teacher Zhang three days ago, including this green weird case book!
Lu Ran was taken aback by his thoughts, since he had met Teacher Zhang three days ago, he had never returned to the blue ocean, if this was Teacher Zhang's notebook, it should have recorded the cases that had happened.
Why is it today?
Instead of panicking, he calmed down and continued to watch.
It says that today, Mr. Zhang will meet a gentleman named Huang Rui. There are also conversations and details of their meeting.
Lu Ran turned the first page, that is, the second page, and wrote Teacher Zhang's analysis of this patient.
At the end of this page, there is a line of red handwriting with four words: Analysis Error.
It's like the homework that the teacher corrected in elementary school. However, the bright red handwriting did not evoke the good memories of childhood in Lu Ran's heart, but the slightest chill.
When he turned to the third page, there were only a few simple words, still bright red ink: treatment failure, infection.
A date of December 13 is also attached.
What does it mean? And this date, the 13th, is also a day that has not yet come, who is infected, what is infected? Is it Mr. Zhang?
Lu Ran couldn't sit still, he wanted to ask if this case was given to him by Teacher Zhang.
