Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!

Mo Kai looked at the message on his phone and let out a big yawn.

His face had two large dark circles under his eyes, making his exhaustion very obvious.

The company’s receptionist suddenly appeared beside him and handed over a cup of coffee emitting a bitter scent: "Teacher Mo, have some coffee."

"...Thank you." Mo Kai was a bit surprised, but also not surprised, knowing there would surely be more to come.

"Um... when Teacher Nan finishes his consultation, could you call me? I bought him coffee as well." Then, Mo Kai heard the young receptionist say.

The company has two receptionists, one full-time and one provided by Bai Qinghua for a work-study part-time job.

This receptionist is the part-time one, which means she just got here and doesn’t understand some things.

Mo Kai smiled meaningfully: "Sure, I can."

The young receptionist walked away happily.

"Xiao Kai, your spirit hasn’t been great lately." Watching Mo Kai gulp down his coffee, a consultation assistant next to him started teasing, "Recently, Teacher Nan has so few consultations. Why do you seem even more tired?"

The assistant teased: "Could it be that seeing Teacher Nan has no consultations, you’re secretly taking on work outside?"

His teasing didn’t focus on the young receptionist, as this situation had been seen countless times before.

Instead, Nan Zhubin’s current work rhythm was more worth discussing.

In recent months, Nan Zhubin unexpectedly became particularly focused on wellness; his consultation volume sharply decreased.

Some curious people calculated that Nan Zhubin now conducts only ten consultations a month. This forms a sharp contrast with Nan Zhubin’s previous work efficiency, where he could conduct consultations for seven or eight hours a day.

Many privately speculated whether Teacher Nan was hurt during his previous EAP project, leading to current burnout.

However, facing this situation, no one from Chonghui, Bai Qinghua, or Weng Pinting said anything, and after a round of discussions, the company quieted down.

They were delighted by Nan Zhubin’s reduced consultation volume. To them, a brilliant consultant should do fewer consultations and have more time to take responsibilities within the company and provide guidance.

Only Mo Kai felt somewhat melancholic and even dissatisfied with Nan Zhubin’s wellness-focused state.

He was too eager to learn. With Nan Zhubin having more free time, his workload had also decreased, leaving him feeling somewhat directionless.

Thankfully, Mo Kai’s frustration was soon resolved.

"Recently, some things were arranged at home." Mo Kai looked at the message on his phone and smiled, "But those are just part-time, my main focus is certainly on consultation work."

This statement had quite a few points of contention, leaving the assistant momentarily unsure how to respond.

But his attention was quickly shifted to Nan Zhubin, who was conducting a consultation.

"Teacher Nan now has so few consultations a month, those cases must be very interesting, right?"

This statement struck a chord with Mo Kai, and he couldn’t help but glance at the visitor’s registration form.

"This visitor... is indeed one of those rare kinds!"

...

"Teacher, I think I might have a star addiction."

Nan Zhubin listened as the visitor said this.

This was a male visitor, seemed to be in his early twenties, right at the stage of life when energy is at its peak.

After saying this, the visitor clearly withdrew his body a bit.

Nan Zhubin did not respond immediately, nor did he show any expression on his face.

From the perspective of case conceptualization, it was indeed one of those rare visitors.

However, Nan Zhubin remained calm, intending to gather more information from the visitor: "Can you describe the specific situation? For instance, what is the actual frequency of your star behavior?"

He provided a general standard: "A few times a week?"

The visitor hesitated for a moment.

"...None?" the visitor said, voice very low, "Not even once. I’ve never had it with anyone."

This time, Nan Zhubin hesitated for a moment, then quickly adjusted his state in the Flow State in 0.1 seconds.

The consultant nodded slightly, as if confirming a fact.

Then Nan Zhubin rephrased his question: "Then what makes you feel you have... a star addiction?"

The visitor swallowed, his Adam’s apple moving: "I keep having... those thoughts in my head. Can’t stop."

The visitor paused and added: "And, when I see attractive girls, I have... very specific fantasies. I think it must be abnormal."

Nan Zhubin nodded, providing certain Support through body language to the visitor.

"The ’thoughts’ you mentioned, how often do they occur?" Nan Zhubin asked.

"Every day," the visitor quickly answered, "Almost every day. Sometimes several times a day, especially a lot before sleep."

Nan Zhubin nodded again, this time with a slightly larger nod.

"Apart from thoughts and fantasies, have you acted on these thoughts?"

Nan Zhubin spoke rather tactfully. He wanted to use hand gestures but suddenly didn’t know how to gesture.

The visitor shook his head: "No. I just think, didn’t do anything."

Nan Zhubin continued: "Have you tried to control these thoughts?"

"I have tried." The visitor nodded, "The more I try to control, the worse it gets. I tell myself not to think about it, not to think about it, but my mind becomes even more chaotic."

Nan Zhubin changed direction: "After these thoughts occur, what do you do to alleviate them?"
