"The first psychotherapy, start now."

Chen Zhi fixed the video recorder with a bracket, straightened the position of the lens, clicked on the video recording function, and said such a sentence to the camera.

I don't know how many times he's said this since he became a full-fledged psychiatrist eight years ago. Eight years is a long cycle for ordinary people, and Chen Zhi, who is 32 years old this year, can already be regarded as a senior professional in the profession of psychiatrist.

Today's visit to psychotherapy is a middle-aged man who seems to have made a lot of achievements in his career, with a slightly bald head and a round beer belly that seem to indicate that he is no longer in his prime, and his expression is very nervous, as if he has encountered some difficult problem to solve.

"Doctor, do I need anything to do with you?" The middle-aged man said a little nervously.

"Well, no, just talk to me as usual." Chen Zhi calmed the overly nervous middle-aged man and flipped through the personal information in his hand: "Hmm...... Your name is Wang Youfu, isn't it? ”

"That's right." Wang Youfu nodded.

"Anything unusual lately?"

"Yes...... Yes. Wang Youfu wiped the cold sweat on his head and said tremblingly: "About a month ago, I began to have persistent insomnia, and I couldn't sleep all night long!" Almost every time, I can't sleep until around the wee hours of the morning, but there is no way to guarantee the quality of sleep! I wake up almost every morning with a nightmare! ”

"What kind of nightmare is it?" Chen Zhi raised his eyes and looked at Wang Youfu, who was covered with cold sweat, and wrote down his words in the small notebook in his hand: "Can you describe it specifically?" ”

"I ...... I don't remember exactly. Wang Youfu said: "In short, it's a terrible nightmare!" ”

"Okay...... Well, what is it that started you to lose sleep. ”

"No, I don't know, it's just a sudden insomnia." Wang Youfu stammered: "Doctor...... Doctor, is there a way to treat it? A moderate amount of sleeping pills can't save me now...... The doctor at the hospital recommended that I come for psychological counselling. ”

"Of course, your symptoms are very serious now." Chen Zhi frowned: "And I'm conducting psychological counseling for you...... But I hope you can understand that there is one basic condition for psychological counseling to work, and that is to be able to know your psychological state well......"

"And to do that, I think at the very least, we have to be honest with each other, right?"

"I don't understand what you mean, doctor......" Wang Youfu swallowed, his eyes flickering.

"I mean, don't lie." Chen Zhi said lightly: "You have to tell me the reason for insomnia." ”

Under the pressure of Chen Zhi's calm gaze, Wang Youfu finally couldn't resist it, so he had to say, "Doctor...... What is said here should only be known to the two of us, right? ”

"Of course, patient confidentiality is the most basic professional quality of our profession." Chen Zhi nodded noncommittally.

"But...... Are you sure you can keep it a secret? Wang Youfu still seemed a little worried, he pointed to the video recorder that was on the side: "Can you turn this off?" ”

"Sorry, no...... Footage is a must-have backup. Chen Zhi said lightly: "But please rest assured, this video will definitely not leak out, otherwise my reputation in the industry will be ruined." ”

"That'...... Then I'll be honest. Wang Youfu bowed his head and said, "Actually, the reason for my insomnia...... Actually, the reason is, yes, I cheated. ”

"But, but it's definitely not what you think!" Wang Youfu suddenly felt that something was wrong, and quickly changed his words: "I love my wife very much!" We also have a daughter in junior high school at home! Strictly speaking, this derailment was actually an accident. ”

"I had a few dinners that day, some socializing...... You know, you have to drink a little bit of wine, and somehow you get drunk. ”

"When I woke up, I found out that I had a relationship with the female secretary who was accompanying me......"

"But I swear to God! I definitely didn't mean to! ”

"Good." Chen Zhi quickly recorded the key words that Wang Youfu said, and then asked, "Then how many times did you have a relationship with that female secretary after that?" ”

"Uh...... About two or three times a week or so. Wang Youfu muttered.

"Well, it seems that you get drunk quite often." Chen Zhi rolled his eyes, and then changed his words: "But I don't think this is the main reason for your insomnia." ”

"Generally speaking, the cheater may indeed develop a series of mental illnesses due to the guilt of the original partner...... But with all due respect, Mr. Wang, you don't look like the kind of person whose conscience would be condemned for cheating. ”

"Yes, yes......" Wang Youfu wiped a cold sweat again.

"Yes." Chen Zhi nodded very firmly, and then said, "Even if you really feel guilty about your wife because of cheating, I don't think there is no solution." ”

You can ask for her forgiveness by confessing to your wife about it and promising that you will not do it again in the future. Objectively speaking, this should be the best treatment that can cure your insomnia. ”

"No, no, absolutely not!" When Wang Youfu heard this, his head shook like a rattle, and he directly vetoed this solution: "I must not let my wife know about my cheating." ”

"Why?" Chen Zhi said lightly: "Why are you hiding from your wife so desperately?" ”

"It's because ...... It's because ......" Wang Youfu began to stutter again.

"Remember what I said before and be honest with each other."

"My wife and I run a company together...... But this company was originally founded by my father-in-law...... Therefore, as the son-in-law of the company, I only have the right to operate this company, and most of the shares are in the hands of my wife. ”

"If I'm caught cheating by her...... She's going to divorce me! ”

"In this way, not only will I not be able to get custody of my daughter, but I will also have a high probability of being left of the house! Becoming a destitute bastard with nothing......"

"I deeply sympathize with your plight." Chen Zhi shrugged his shoulders: "In that case, why don't you quickly break off the relationship with that probably very young and beautiful female secretary before your wife finds out about your cheating?" I guess that's a solution, right? ”

"Impossible." Wang Youfu shook his head, and suddenly gritted his teeth: "That little slut is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he has a lot of evidence of my derailment in his hands...... If I do break up with her, she will definitely tell my wife about my cheating! ”
