If a person with deep myopia wears glasses but refuses to wear them, but keeps asking people around him why he can't see clearly, would you think this person is a bit strange? In the psychotherapy room, as long as you listen carefully, it is not difficult to find out.

If a person with deep myopia wears glasses but refuses to wear them, but keeps asking people around him why he can't see clearly, would you think this person is a bit strange?

In the psychotherapy room, as long as you listen carefully, it is not difficult to find that similar situations often occur. Here are a few examples.

Ms. Huang: "In the last interview, what the therapist suggested to do, I clearly understand and think it is reasonable. I know that doing it will help improve mood. I really plan to do it, but when I do it I just don’t know why I left all the coping skills discussed, and finally gave up. Recently, my condition seems to be worse than before. Is it more serious? How can you help me again?"

Mr. Chen: "I haven't been sleeping well recently. I know I want to exercise but I am lazy. The doctor told me to quit smoking many times, but I think the nicotine has been "pure" by me, so even if I wake up in the middle of the night, I can smoke one or two. It should have little effect.

However, it is really difficult for me to concentrate during the day, my memory is extremely poor and it is easy to "hate", what new way can you help me?

"

Ms. He: "My body has deteriorated in the past two years, and I have naturally become more worried. It is not headaches, stomach pains, or muscle pains. I have a bad habit of forgetting time completely when I get busy, sometimes all day long. It’s not surprising that I haven’t drunk a glass of water. I mostly use it for sleep during the holidays. Even if I have time, I don’t want to move too much. I just eat some dry food as a meal..."

Sometimes people are both the root of the problem and the answer.

It is not easy to admit that the problem is not easy on oneself, whether it is because of face, dignity or evasion, shirking the reasons for success or failure to factors other than oneself may be able to temporarily get rid of the responsibility that one needs to bear and make one feel better.

However, "pretending" to go on in the long run will only stand still and hinder yourself from giving yourself new learning and growth opportunities.

Ignoring the responsibility of "taking care of yourself" is also a disadvantage of many urbanites.

However, to maintain physical and mental health, we do require careful planning, persistence and management. The process may be difficult, but the rewards are definitely worth it.

To treat the symptoms and the root causes of emotional problems conscientiously, learning to see and accept their underlying problems is a necessary process.

During the interview, the psychologist will try to guide the patient to first identify the problematic thinking, maintenance factors and behavior patterns, and then work out the treatment direction and plan together, so as to gradually improve.

However, it is necessary to tie the bell to untie the bell, and the patient's participation is also crucial.

If everyone agrees to use a bad weight to prove that you are slim, this is undoubtedly an unreasonable or self-deceiving practice. Therefore, effective psychotherapy also depends on whether you are mentally prepared to face the truth and make changes.

"Hong Kong 01" "01 Medical Clinic" cooperated with the School of Mental Health of Castle Peak Hospital to publish a column written by medical staff every other Tuesday.

"Cheng" means to let the water stand still, let the water settle, and then become clear.

May you calmly savour every little story, see the small knowledge, understand the heart of yourself and others, and see things and emotions more clearly.

See clearly, know how to cherish, I hope this column can soothe your emotional waves and enjoy the peace of the years.

I hope you can share this experience with the people you care about, so that you can have one more partner on the road to a better life.
