"Doctor, my granddaughter... is it mentally ill?" Suddenly, Xiaozhen's grandma asked me like this.
"No! I am not mentally ill!" Just before grandma's voice, Xiaozhen in the corner suddenly shouted.
"Then what do you think is your problem?" Seeing Xiaozhen's reaction, I thought it was a good sign, and hurriedly asked her loudly.
But Xiaozhen, after yelling these words, she lowered her head again and said nothing.
From this, I can almost be sure that Xiaozhen does not have depression, let alone psychosis, she is suffering from Syndrome Phobia! The so-called syndrome of phobia refers to the syndrome of many fear disorders in the patient's life.
Common phobias include social phobia, learning phobia, intensive phobia, acrophobia and so on. Synthetic phobia, the condition is more complicated, and it may be a comprehensive manifestation of multiple phobias.
However, fear is just a manifestation, and the reason behind it must be a certain psychological shadow at work! And these psychological shadows are actually caused by the sudden episodes encountered during the growth of the patient.
Some of this shadow exists in the subconscious, while others are an unforgettable memory! For example, my dizziness is actually a kind of phobia, because I committed suicide to Xiaobei, and the scene of falling in a pool of blood is hard to forget. Therefore, I have a special fear of blood. Therefore, it caused the syncope.
From what Xiaozhen's grandmother said just now, I still found two clues, and I can infer why Xiaozhen's psychological shadow was created!
First of all, the "morbidity" of Xiaozhen this time was caused by being harassed by drunk guests at the restaurant! The reason why quotation marks are used for the illness is that this kind of illness is not a real illness, but a phenomenon that evokes her unbearable memories and reawakens the bad memories that have been dusted!
It was because of this memory that Xiaozhen’s phobia was onset. This must be a very special memory.
Judging from the grandmother's account, in the sixth grade of elementary school, the period when Xiaozhen started playing truant is an important node. This past event that made Xiaozhen still very scared when she thinks about it is the important heart source of her phobia!
In addition, Xiaozhen lost the love of her parents since she was a child, and can only depend on her grandma for life. With such a special life experience, coupled with this past that she would be terrified when she recalled it, Xiaozhen developed a phobia and showed The fear and distrust of the whole world!
So, what kind of sudden incident will this be? I noticed another detail that my grandmother just said, that is when Xiaozhen is having nightmares, she often talks in sleep, and what she said most is: pain!
According to grandma's understanding at the time, she thought Xiaozhen had been beaten or abused.
But I feel keenly that things are not that simple!
What does it mean for a little girl to hurt? I believe that you have realized it now!
Yes, I guess, Xiaozhen’s psychological shadow is caused by the contact between men and women! Moreover, it must still be the kind of abnormal male-female contact! In other words, when Xiaozhen was in the sixth grade of elementary school, it was very likely that she was molested or raped!
Therefore, when a drunk male guest harassed her, Xiaozhen's reaction would be so strong!
Xiaozhen was originally a cheerful girl, but because of family changes, she became taciturn. She has lost her father’s love and mother’s love since she was a child. She herself has lost confidence in the world. So when she was sexually assaulted, for some unknown reason, she never told her grandma or teacher, it is even more impossible. Ask the police for help.
She was so young at that time and had a lot of things, and even she didn’t know how to deal with it, so she could only bear all this by herself, especially the fear that that kind of behavior brought her. Don't go!
Perhaps it was precisely because of the special affair that occurred that year that almost ruined Xiaozhen's life!
But who did it? In previous cases, most of the sexual assaults against minors were committed by acquaintances! For example, the child's male relatives, neighbors, teachers, and even the dirty male boss of the commissary!
However, things have passed for so many years, and even I am not sure if I can find the culprit at this time!
Xiaozhen's situation should not belong to the shadow on the psychological and subconscious level, but the shadow in the special deep memory, and she does not have selective amnesia like Xiao Meng. Therefore, in Xiaozhen's situation, even using hypnotherapy, it is difficult to eliminate her inner fear!
Hypnotherapy is suitable for removing the shadows that you don't remember, but exist in your inner subconscious mind. But obviously, Xiaozhen still remembers what happened back then, so this therapy can only be auxiliary, and the key to solving the problem is to catch the real culprit and get the criminals who bullied Xiaozhen to be punished. , And then coupled with hypnotherapy to assist her treatment, she can get better.
In fact, Xiaozhen’s situation is very similar to mine. My dizziness has not been cured for so many years. Even with a psychologist like Professor Yang, I did not turn to him for help. The reason is the same!
As a psychiatrist, I know too well. My condition is also a shadow of a special deep memory. Even if I use hypnotherapy, it is difficult to cure it. Therefore, if I ask Professor Yang to help me treat it, the effect will not be great.
Therefore, to solve my dizziness, only to find the culprit that caused Xiaobei's suicide and seek justice for Xiaobei can we completely erase the shadow in my heart.
Thinking about the situation of this girl in front of me
Looking at the similarities, I swear in my heart, I must help her out of the shadows and overcome fear!
Thinking of this, I thought about it carefully, and then asked Xiaozhen in the corner: "Xiaozhen, who bullied you back then!"
When I asked this sentence, I said whether it was soft or not, hard or not, and I was very confident, but my accent was not fierce. I fully grasped this degree.
Sure enough, after one of my questions, Xiaozhen was in the corner and suddenly raised her head. She stared straight at me, staring at me.
I read a meaning in her eyes, that is Xiaozhen at this moment, as if she saw the hope of being rescued!
"No... no one... I dare not..." However, all of this was fleeting, and Xiaozhen later, her eyes dimmed again, and she lowered her head again.
"I dare not say so?" I asked.
I kept staring at Xiaozhen, ready to meet her eyes at any time, but she said nothing and didn't look up.
"Doctor... What are you talking about? What kind of bullying?" Grandma Xiaozhen interjected questioningly at this time.
"I suspect that Xiaozhen might have been sexually assaulted by someone back then!" I revealed the answer.
"What!" Grandma Xiaozhen was stunned in surprise, and then a group of old people burst into tears. "Doctor, back then... I had actually doubted this before, but this kid just refused to say it, and I couldn't help it..."
"Now is not the time to hold you accountable. The key is to catch the culprit!" I looked at Xiaozhen's grandmother and explained seriously, "Only when the culprit is caught can Xiaozhen come out of the shadows!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Xiaozhen in the corner raised her head again and looked at me with a strange look. I quickly understood her thoughts. She saw hope, but she couldn't believe that I could help her.
"Xiaozhen, don't worry, look!" I immediately instructed Xiaozhen to look at the wall. There are full of pennants and certificates of merit that I have received, especially the certificate of "Advanced Model of Police-Civil Cooperation", in the most conspicuous position.
I did this not to show off, but to give Xiaozhen confidence and make her believe that I can help her!
My action obviously had some effect. Xiaozhen looked up at the awards and pennants on the wall, which seemed to increase the trust in me.
"Xiaozhen, stop squatting over there, come here and tell me the truth, okay?" Then, I used a very magnetic voice to suggest Xiaozhen.
In fact, this is also a kind of hypnosis, but it is not the hypnosis of hypnotherapy. I want to use such words to relieve her inner fear. This is also a form of treatment.
Xiaozhen hesitated for a long time after hearing what I said, then she stood up, came to the sofa hesitantly, and finally sat down! (End of this chapter)
