Chapter 206: All in place
In the remaining days, under Lu Yichen's organization, everyone acted collectively cooperatively. Together, they went to New York's Central Park, which is one of the must-see attractions for tourists.
To tell the truth, in Manhattan, New York, where every inch of land is at a premium, and in Manhattan, where skyscrapers are towering, New Yorkers can actually build a huge urban park, and it is also the first park in New York to be established entirely based on the design criteria of landscape architecture, which cannot but be said to be a miracle.
There are all kinds of activities organized in this park throughout the year, and Xiao Lu, who is quite interested, also signed up for outdoor yoga in advance, Gege and Fei'er usually like yoga very much, Vivian does not refuse to sweat for a while, the three girls walked into the team excitedly, received a yoga blanket with the coach, turned their heads and gave a thumbs up to Lu Yichen's arrangement.
Lin Yi and Jian Yang glanced at each other, and then prepared to walk to the bench on the side to rest.
"Where are you two going? Come on, it's going to class soon~" Lu Yichen shouted happily, and then ran to the coach excitedly, "I've wanted to try outdoor yoga for a long time, and I used to watch my mother go to play with her group of friends." ”
There are people in Boston who organize similar outdoor yoga, but given that Lu's mother and a group of her friends are all going to participate, Lu Yichen will never want to join in the fun. But this time she arranged it, so it was different. In addition, he specially took Vivian to lululemon to buy a set of yoga clothes the day before, and he also matched the men's style.
New York's cultural environment is more tolerant than almost all cities in the United States, so he wants to experience outdoor yoga when he is tall.
"Why are you two still stunned, don't waste the registration fee of $44 excluding tax." Seeing that Jian Yang and Lin Yi were still stunned, Lu Yichen rushed forward and grabbed one of them, and was stunned to put them over.
When he went out, he said that he was going to Central Park, and he also said that he wanted to exercise, so he asked everyone to wear, and the question was who would have thought that he could do this??!?!?
Lin Yi and Jian Yang could only stand helplessly behind their respective girlfriends, and the three big boys, who had never had experience in yoga, followed the instructor to achieve another achievement in their lives - the basic introductory moves of yoga.
In this class, they learned a total of seven basic yoga movements: Mountain Pose, Warrior Two Pose, Chair Pose, Downward Dog Pose, Baby Pose, Four Breaths, and Stunt Yoga.
The three tall and strong boys are also very eye-catching among the girls, Jian Yang has seen tourists holding cameras in their direction several times, he can only close his eyes in despair, what else can he do? I can only cover my ears and steal the bell......
Lin Yi also shot a hateful gaze towards Lu Yichen from time to time, he really couldn't let him plan his daily actions, and he didn't know what kind of moth he could make, as if he couldn't get off the thief ship now......
The next day, Vivian and her team finally came back in their hands after a long turn, and they lost nothing, and although their trip to New York was coming to an end, it was always a good thing to find their luggage.
Lu Yichen also thoughtfully arranged a trip to Six Flags Amusement Park, located in New York's back garden New Jersey, the most popular and the world's largest theme park, which Fei'er has always been looking forward to. Even if Lu Yichen didn't arrange it, she planned to go with Jian Yang and the two of them.
It seems that girls are born with a special love for animals, and when they learned of Lu Yichen's arrangement, even Vivian, who seemed to be quite indifferent to everything other than studying, had a flash of anticipation in her eyes.
Lu Yichen arranged the itinerary very conscientiously, and this amusement park has the largest safari park in the New York area, WildSAFARI, and it is also the largest safari park that can be driven outside of mainland Africa.
The 350-acre nature reserve is home to more than 1,200 wild animals from six continents, including ostriches, giraffes, elephants, deer, black bears, brown bears, antelopes, zebras, lions, tigers, kangaroos, and more.
Passengers can drive into the park by themselves, and can drive freely, see what they want, see as long as they want, and watch it for as long as they want, and have a good time at one time! There are also ponds, hills, and various rugged swamps and sandy areas in the park, so it's super exciting to drive through the natural wilderness like an adventurer in "Jurassic Park" and get up close and personal with various animals!
The careful Lu Yichen also specially rented a car in advance, this kind of self-driving zoo is best not to drive the Lin family's Tesla, because it is close contact with animals, many animals will interact in front of tourists' cars, and it often happens that animals damage the news of the car, or rent a car to buy an insurance is safer.
The six of them happily spent the next trip under Lu Yichen's arrangement, and on the last night of leaving, it was Sister Yue'er who invited everyone to dinner, and it happened that Lu Yichen also wanted to talk about her sister's tone.
During the banquet, he learned that Leon had officially joined the crew, and he also knocked on the side and learned that he was still in the "observation period", Lu Yichen unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief for Chris. These days, he is also looking for Chris's whereabouts through some connections, but in the end there is a big age gap between them, so even if it is an alumni network, it is not so easy to find out, not to mention that Lu Yichen does not dare to make a big fuss, for fear that Yue'er will find clues.
In short, the pleasant trip to New York came to an end, and when they returned to Boston, Gege and Lin Yi began to pack their bags and prepare to go back to City B.
This summer school trip really changed a lot of her thoughts, no wonder people say "read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles", knowledge is really more important than knowledge for young people.
Back in City B, school is about to start, after reading books for so many years, Gege suddenly feels that this moment really understands the meaning of reading, when you have a clear goal, you will be more aware of what you need, for her, what she needs most is to choose the courses she is interested in and maintain a perfect GPA. After returning from the United States, the idea of undergraduate transfer gradually formed, even if she didn't ask, she knew that Sister Qing must be in favor.
This summer, so much has happened that everyone seems to have found happiness, except for ...... As far away as Chris in Switzerland and Leon in Canada.
On the first day of his arrival in Switzerland, Chris went to his attending doctor without even caring about the jet lag, and made it clear that he was willing to cooperate to the greatest extent possible and only wanted to cure himself as soon as possible.
The attending physician of PTSD is very happy to accept patients like him, because the vast majority of psychiatric patients are resistant to seeking medical treatment for many reasons, either because of stigma or for various other reasons, in short, the patient is willing to cooperate with the doctor.
Treatment centers in Switzerland are also the mainstream of drug treatment combined with psychotherapy, and the first choice of drugs is SSRIs, which are recognized as the "five golden flowers of antidepressants" - fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, fluvoxamine and citalopram.
The difference is that the doctors here will not blindly test drugs like many institutions, this one cannot be changed for that, which not only tosses the patient but also delays the efficacy. They will do a very detailed physical examination of the patient, and at the same time, at the initial stage, the patient's response to different drugs will be determined through micro-drug testing and sophisticated instrumental testing to select the most targeted drugs.
At the same time, the dosage determination of antidepressants is also a matter of great professional standards, and the same patient may be prescribed the same antidepressant when he goes to different institutions, but the dosage difference can be very alarming. That's why Dr. Stewart recommended that Chris come to Switzerland, an institution that is recognized for its authority.
Only the real right medicine will make him recover as soon as possible. At the same time, in addition to precise drug treatment, there are also the world's leading psychotherapists, with senior hypnotherapists, the psychotherapy effect is also very good. Chris felt that the quality of sleep had improved a lot in the first few days, which is a very good sign.
At the same time, he was also very active in cooperating with EMDR.
EMDR stands for EyeMovementDesensitizationReprocessing. In 1987, psychologist Francine Shapiro noticed during a walk that the thoughts that were bothering her disappeared with the movement of her eyes from side to side. She then conducted a series of empirical studies that demonstrated effectiveness in managing PTSD symptoms. EMDR is now recognized by mental health associations in many countries around the world as one of the interventions to deal with PTSD.
In fact, the process of self-healing is similar to that of physical trauma. If you feel pain because you accidentally stuck a thorn in your hand, you will find that thorn and pick it out.
If the wound is very deep, you may need to take some anti-inflammatory drugs after picking it out, and simply bandage the wound to avoid further infection, and the wound will heal in time.
And the same is true of mental trauma. But this thorn is not visible to the naked eye, the patient himself is helpless, he can only bear the pain, but there is no way to pick out the thorn by himself, he can only continue to live with the wound, but he can't protect himself at all, and he keeps touching this wound.
When the doctor treated Chris, he found that his biggest problem was not his years in the army, but the trauma caused by the collapse of his happy family overnight.
Fortunately, a long time has passed, and he can finally let himself go as he slashes his enemies, and the doctors rarely meet patients who are so cooperative, and they are very curious about what prompted him to treat so actively.
Chris just told the doctor lightly: "I once gave up the person I loved most for hatred, and I feel pain but never regret this decision, because I know that if I don't do it, I will never really let go." I thought I could smile and bless her, and I could silently watch over her, but I realized I was wrong......" Chris smiled bitterly, he didn't know if it was too late, but this time he wanted to take advantage of it anyway.
Yue'er, will you give him this chance?
