Chapter 3939

When Su Xinghui was conducting rescue operations in the disaster area, he had sent rescue team members to psychiatrists for counseling many times, but he had never thought that there would come a day when he himself would need to go for psychological counseling. He had once thought that his nerves were as strong as steel and that it would never be his turn to need psychological counseling.

In fact, his nerves were indeed as strong as steel. How many incredible things had he experienced? He had even experienced something like rebirth. Moreover, his experiences over the many years since his rebirth were unimaginable to ordinary people, especially the matter of this great earthquake. For more than a year before the earthquake occurred, he had been carrying the burden of this earthquake in his heart.

In the whole world, he was the only one who knew the exact time this great earthquake would occur and knew how much destruction it would cause, yet he couldn't tell anyone. How immense this psychological pressure was, there was no doubt.

In fact, over the many years since his rebirth, Su Xinghui had accumulated countless negative emotions in his heart, but he dared not tell anyone. He could only hide them silently in his heart until now, when he returned from the disaster area, and he let Lu Xiaoya see the abnormality.

He had returned quite in time. If he had continued to stay in the disaster area like those rescue team members, perhaps in another half a month or a month, he would have collapsed.

Now, Lu Xiaoya had found a psychiatrist for him, which could be considered quite timely. In any case, seeing a psychiatrist was beneficial. Many things that couldn't be told to others could be poured out to a psychiatrist, which was conducive to the venting of negative emotions.

The psychiatrist Lu Xiaoya helped Su Xinghui find was named Liu Xinzhi. He was in his forties, an experienced psychiatrist, and very professional. His meeting with Su Xinghui took place at the home of Su Xinghui's driver, Zhai Yingjie, rather than at the hospital, because he knew that Su Xinghui's status was too special and he absolutely could not appear in the hospital's psychiatry department.

Because society still didn't understand the work of psychiatrists very well, people always felt that if someone went to see a psychiatrist, there was something abnormal about them, and then they would look at these people through colored glasses.

Ordinary people couldn't stand such public opinion pressure, let alone a mayor like Su Xinghui. If Su Xinghui were seen walking into the hospital's psychiatry department, it would absolutely cause a huge uproar. Even if there were no problems, as long as it was hyped up by those with ulterior motives, it would cause big trouble.

Therefore, he and Su Xinghui arrived at Zhai Yingjie's home one after another to conduct the psychological counseling. In fact, Zhai Yingjie also needed psychological counseling because he had also accumulated too many negative emotions on the ruins of the disaster area and needed to vent them.

After Su Xinghui met Liu Xinzhi, he very actively and enthusiastically extended his right hand to Liu Xinzhi and shook hands with him, which surprised Liu Xinzhi a little. He felt that a leader as high-ranking as Su Xinghui would surely have some airs, but Su Xinghui was so approachable, which gave Liu Xinzhi a lot more confidence.

After Su Xinghui shook hands with Liu Xinzhi, he asked, "Dr. Liu, can the treatment begin now?"

Liu Xinzhi nodded and said, "Yes, it can."

The two entered a guest room in Zhai Yingjie's home. Zhai Yingjie's home was a three-bedroom apartment. Besides their master bedroom and the child's bedroom, there was a guest room. Now this guest room was empty, which was just right for them to conduct psychological treatment inside.

The two sat opposite each other. Liu Xinzhi said, "Mayor Su, don't be nervous. Just treat me as your friend. We are just chatting."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "I'm not nervous."

Liu Xinzhi then began to chat with Su Xinghui. In fact, the main way for a psychiatrist to provide counseling to a patient is through chatting and talking, understanding some things about the patient during the conversation, analyzing the main reasons for the patient's psychological problems, and thereby determining how to adopt a treatment plan to resolve the patient's psychological problems.

During the process of chatting with Su Xinghui, Liu Xinzhi nodded inwardly. Su Xinghui was a very talkative and charming person. His conversation was logical, clear, and well-organized, and he was knowledgeable. No matter what topic Liu Xinzhi brought up, Su Xinghui could keep up, and he did so very well, showing his profound understanding of that field.

Liu Xinzhi also felt that Su Xinghui was a person with a very firm character. He was unwavering toward the goals he had set for himself, which was a necessary quality for becoming an excellent leading cadre. However, this made Liu Xinzhi feel some worry. The more such a person was, the less likely they were to have psychological problems, but once they did, it was harder to resolve them.

Liu Xinzhi didn't understand how a person as firm as Su Xinghui could have such psychological problems.

From the conversation between Liu Xinzhi and Su Xinghui, he did find that Su Xinghui had obvious self-reproach emotions, which puzzled Liu Xinzhi. Logically speaking, Su Xinghui was a person who had seen the world, and the things he saw in the disaster area shouldn't have put too much psychological pressure on him. Moreover, he had already done enough for the disaster area, so why did he need to blame himself?

In fact, Liu Xinzhi had been in contact with post-disaster rescue personnel many times, and he knew very well how the common psychological problems among these rescue personnel were generated. It was usually because they had seen too many victims' bodies, and some had even seen victims die painfully in front of them, causing the rescue team members to doubt themselves and thus generate self-reproach emotions.

In short, the accumulation of negative emotions was the main trigger for such psychological problems. However, Su Xinghui's mental strength was indeed very strong, and he had experienced countless things over so many years. By rights, he shouldn't have generated such self-reproach emotions.

In the chat with Su Xinghui, Liu Xinzhi learned that Su Xinghui had faced life-and-death tests several times. At that time, there were killers who might have been following Su Xinghui every day, but Su Xinghui didn't even blink, and in the end, he even used himself as bait to lure the killers out and capture them. Such nerves were simply as strong as steel.

This was also the person with the strongest willpower Liu Xinzhi had ever seen, yet even he would have psychological problems?

Liu Xinzhi of course didn't know that in Su Xinghui's heart, there was a huge secret buried, which was his rebirth. It was precisely because of his rebirth that he had such huge self-reproach emotions regarding this great earthquake.

Su Xinghui chatted with Liu Xinzhi about everything he had done, but the only thing he couldn't tell anyone was his rebirth. Therefore, with Liu Xinzhi's ability, he couldn't find the real reason for Su Xinghui's self-reproach emotions.

However, even if Liu Xinzhi couldn't find the real reason for Su Xinghui's self-reproach emotions, he could still find some reasons based on the clues he discovered during the conversation with Su Xinghui to resolve Su Xinghui's psychological problems in a targeted manner.

For example, the several life-and-death dangers Su Xinghui had faced before were also a problem that could easily cause psychological pressure for ordinary people. Moreover, his usual work pressure was also very huge. For ordinary people, they couldn't withstand such huge work pressure at all. It was hard to imagine that he had become a mayor at such a young age and had governed the city so well.

Liu Xinzhi could only think that the psychological pressure Su Xinghui had accumulated before was relatively large, and the large amount of negative emotions accumulated in a short period of time during this disaster relief became the trigger for Su Xinghui's psychological problems. So he started from this aspect to help Su Xinghui resolve his psychological problems.

Although Liu Xinzhi couldn't know that Su Xinghui was a reborn person, some of the treatment plans he determined were still very effective.

His treatment plan didn't require Su Xinghui to take any medicine. He asked Su Xinghui to meet him once a week and have a good chat with him. Chatting with a psychiatrist was also a very good way to reduce stress because there were too many people in this world whose psychological pressure had nowhere to be vented. They couldn't tell anyone, but they wouldn't have too much burden if they told a psychiatrist.
