As the college entrance examination approaches, how to deal with the injuries brought by a psychologist?

The experience was distressing and precipitated a psychological breakdown. The objective was to prepare for the college entrance exam while addressing mental health concerns, but the outcome was even more adverse.

As a result of these experiences, you have developed a fear of seeking further assistance. This has led to a withdrawal from social interactions, feelings of fear and self-doubt, and the exacerbation of existing problems. You are now experiencing elevated levels of anxiety and are unsure of how to proceed. The feelings of helplessness, confusion, and distress are causing significant distress and mental anguish.

It is evident that the individual in question desires to regain a sense of composure and fortitude in preparation for the impending college entrance examination.

As you have described, it is evident that the individual in question lacks the qualifications to be considered a psychiatrist. It is clear that you have been harmed by his actions.

He demonstrated a lack of fundamental competence and professional conduct.

The practitioner's errors included the following: 1. He began to yawn with his eyes closed and exhibited clear signs of impatience.

Mistake 2: The practitioner stated, "I believe you are of poor quality, with the exception of your academic performance."

Mistake 3: The therapist encouraged the patient to engage in self-injurious behavior, including hitting himself, while making loud verbalizations.

The aforementioned three points are sufficient to demonstrate that the individual in question is not qualified to serve in the capacity of a counselor, therapist, or doctor.

The designation "psychiatrist," as referenced in your correspondence, is not an accurate characterization within the field. There are two levels of nationally certified counselors, as well as psychotherapists who are eligible to practice within the medical system, and psychiatrists who are employed in hospitals.

Despite the significant injury you have sustained, you have demonstrated resilience and determination in your pursuit of self-resolution. This exemplifies your fortitude and courage. It is now time to muster the strength to seek the guidance of another counselor, therapist, or psychiatrist, with whom you can collaborate in addressing your challenges.

This is analogous to the situation of an individual who has fallen while walking but is unable to remain in a recumbent position. In such an instance, the individual would seek medical attention if there were any injury. However, if the individual is able to resume their activities without assistance, they would persevere.

The recommended sequence is as follows: first, consult with a psychiatrist, then identify a suitable therapist or counselor.

Following adversity, there is the potential for resilience and recovery. Best wishes for a positive outcome.

Good afternoon, My name is Will, and I am a counselor.

After reviewing your inquiry, I understand the distress and pain you have experienced as a result of this situation.

It is challenging to assess the situation from a third-party perspective, given that the incident was fully described by you. However, if we consider the causes and consequences, it is evident that the psychologist's actions were irrational in certain instances.

(1) The doctor displayed clear signs of impatience and yawning after I inquired about my health concerns.

I am unaware of the specific circumstances at the time, but the feedback from this doctor suggests that he is not visitor-centered and is not listening to the visitor very attentively.

It is unclear whether the psychologist was working with the specific person in front of them or was symptom-oriented. Given the lack of information about the hospital setup and circumstances, it is not possible to make a judgment.

(2) "Tends to induce me to give certain answers during the questioning process."

It is possible that this situation occurred. Sometimes, preconceptions and judgments influence our actions, leading us to continue according to those preconceptions and judgments. When viewed in conjunction with the previous observations of the doctor's behavior, namely dozing off and displaying great impatience, this scenario appears to be logically consistent.

(3) "I believe you are lacking in certain areas apart from your academic performance."

If this statement was indeed made by the doctor, it is highly unusual. It may be a form of therapeutic intervention, but it is difficult to ascertain the exact nature of the doctor's intentions.

I also noted your feedback, in which you stated that the doctor's words confirmed one of your primary concerns: that an individual who is aware of your academic performance but not your interpersonal skills might immediately conclude that you are "only good at schoolwork and not at anything else."

It is possible that this feeling of fear was caused by some of the doctor's actions, which have further irritated you and led to self-injurious behavior.

This encounter has indeed caused you secondary damage. I believe that, while seemingly incidental events may be partly the doctor's fault (external causes), our own deepening sense of anxiety is also an internal cause.

It is also likely that this will result in a less favourable overall impression of psychiatry and psychotherapy. If you wish to improve your situation, it would be advisable to focus on regulating your emotions rather than attempting to resolve the issue through logical reasoning.

Depending on your personal situation, you may wish to consider engaging in physical activity, forming connections with others (either through conversation or expressing gratitude), providing assistance to others, or engaging in meditation.

Additionally, it is recommended to reduce stress as much as possible. This can be achieved through activities such as taking a hot bath, lighting an aromatherapy candle, staying hydrated, listening to music, hugging friends, and getting some sun.

That is all I have to offer for now. I hope these suggestions are both inspiring and helpful.

I would like to extend my warmest regards to you and the world.

I extend to you a warm embrace from afar. I perceive the secondary psychological trauma you endured in the counseling room.

From the description provided, it can be ascertained that this is the inaugural encounter with the counselor, which indicates that the counselor's approach is excessive and, to a significant extent, violates the ethical norms of a professional counselor. Based on the counselor's brief interactions with the client, it is highly probable that he is a novice counselor. In general, counselors with previous case experience would not directly address the most painful and traumatic aspects of the client's experiences, particularly if they have not yet established a robust counseling relationship with the client. Additionally, the counselor's words have caused the client to feel strongly offended and disrespected.

Such an error on the part of the counselor will inevitably result in the termination of counseling, which may inflict irreparable psychological damage upon the client. This could potentially lead to a complete loss of trust in psychological counseling, an adamant refusal to engage in any form of psychological counseling, and even the development of an attitude of self-abandonment in response to the distress they are experiencing. Therefore, I would like to extend a warm embrace to you at this moment.

It is recommended that any emotional feelings, doubts, etc. that may be experienced at the time are allowed and accepted. Subsequently, an emotional diary should be utilized to record these emotions and thoughts in written form. This process allows for the visibility, expression, and release of emotions.

It is important to note that the counselor's lack of respect and understanding does not stem from any personal deficiency on the client's part. Rather, it is often a result of the counselor's genuine desire to provide timely support and assistance. The counselor's own anxiety and defensive responses can create a challenging dynamic, particularly when the client is unable or unwilling to recognize the potential connection between their issues and the underlying family discord. This can lead to a sense of rejection and attack on the part of the counselor, which may manifest as offensive verbal expressions. It is crucial to understand that these behaviors are often unintentional and driven by the counselor's own defensive reactions.

Indeed, it is not uncommon for individuals seeking counseling to initially exhibit defensive behaviors when they have not yet established a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. This is particularly true when the individual is experiencing an acute anxiety attack and is therefore likely to deny any potential connection between the distress and underlying familial issues.

Now that the counseling relationship has concluded, it is important to consider whether your anxiety is related to the disharmony in your family relationship. Family relationships provide individuals with the most significant emotional support. When a family relationship is sufficiently nurturing, it can serve as a source of emotional sustenance, providing a foundation for coping with and managing distress in other areas, such as academic pursuits. The memories of this nourishment can inform and enhance one's efforts to cope and deal with distress in other domains. What are your thoughts on this matter?

The manner in which an individual is treated ultimately influences their self-perception and subsequent behavior. When an individual is subjected to mistreatment within their own family, particularly when there is a lack of emotional support, they may experience a heightened sense of helplessness and powerlessness in the face of challenges.

One may record their emotional feelings more effectively by maintaining an emotional diary. Additionally, it is possible to address one's anxious emotions directly and confront anxiety in a forthright manner.

It is recommended that the individual allow themselves a moment of complete emptiness, a moment when they are solely focused on their own thoughts and emotions.

My name is Lily, and I am a regular listener of the Q&A Pavilion. I have a profound appreciation for the world and for the people in it.

Hello!

How did you get through today? How was your sleep? Hugs!

I want to praise you. When you had a problem, you came here for help right away. You will find ways to solve your own problems. You learn well!

You can take different approaches to becoming better. This makes me think about why you are a good student. You will have different flexible methods to deal with problems. How can you not be a good student?

You just collapsed. I think that was your way of dealing with the psychiatrist's reaction. There was no good outcome from staying there, so you left. You said you only ran out because you were brave enough to collapse. At that time, dealing with that doctor was the best way to deal with it.

I see why you went for help, but I want to talk about why.

You only sought help because of the occasional anxiety. If it weren't for the exam, you wouldn't have seen it as a problem. You've already experienced two years of anxiety, and you have your own way of dealing with it.

You went to see a psychiatrist because the college entrance exam is approaching, and you want to do better. I can see your hard work and positive attitude. How can someone like you not do well in school?

You can go to a doctor to get help and take care of your own problems. You should have found this doctor on your own. You can take care of your own problems. Why do you say you're only good at your studies?

You said you'd tried different methods over the past two years. You thought some wouldn't work because of your childhood experiences. But you found a way to study while thinking of solutions to your anxiety. You did well in your studies. That's effective.

You may have high expectations of yourself. That's fine, but don't blame yourself if you don't do it well. Nobody's perfect.

Life is full of disappointments. It's normal to feel anxious sometimes.

If you can, just let it go. If you can't sleep because of past experiences, let yourself be. You might not feel like talking or seeing anyone. It might even affect your grades. But none of this matters. Only in this way can you be true to yourself. This is real life.

We accept ourselves, imperfect as we may be, and move on. Most people live this way.

Let's talk about what happened yesterday.

I don't know how to judge the doctor's communication methods. I feel uncomfortable if the doctor is like you said, but I think it's in the past.

Let's talk about what to do next.

I know what it's like to be devastated. I ran out to wait for you, and I must have been hurt again. I was praising you because of the anxiety and desire for relief, but I never imagined it would be like this! How could I have met such a doctor who is so unsuited to me?

It's hard to find someone who's right for you.

Everything has to be done on your own. The college entrance exam is coming up, and the results will matter a lot. If you don't do well, it will be really bad!

Our grades are good! In less than 100 days, we'll take the college entrance exam. If we pass, we can do anything.

The college entrance exam is coming up, and our studies are the most important thing. What the doctor said doesn't matter.

If we use our results to get into university and grow ourselves, we'll be better able to work hard at other things. For example, we could learn psychology and find out what's wrong with that doctor.

How can he treat us like this? Is it justified?

Let's use our knowledge to solve problems. For now, let's keep this problem in our hearts. I hope you can use the empty chair technique. It means putting a chair there and acting as if you were the doctor. You can express all your anger and frustration. Let out all your emotions towards the empty chair!

This is what we can do for now.

After we've done all this, we'll keep that long-term goal in mind and solve this confusion on our own.

If you don't want to see people or talk, that's fine. Studying is the most important thing right now, and we're all going to school anyway. Don't blame yourself for this. I saw that you said in your feedback that you'll try to change yourself.

I don't think I need to say anything more. What about me?

You have many options and work hard. You can do it. You're great!

You will get an offer from your dream university soon. Go for it!

Love you!
