Psychological counseling is when a therapist uses professional expertise and verbal communication skills to help a patient "process, decompress, and find direction." This changes the patient's self-perception, thereby enhancing their capabilities and improving their personal development.
This process depends on the patient's trust and honesty.
Yan Feifan had nothing to hide about his emotional response to the shooting incident in the United States, so he told Mr. Miao everything in one go.
After talking for over an hour, Yan Feifan truly felt a sense of relief in both mind and body.
"This was really helpful, Mr. Miao. It worked wonders."
Miao Quan scoffed lightly. "You've always been resistant to psychotherapy. You were just a bit more honest today, so of course the session was effective."
"You could tell, Mr. Miao?" Yan Feifan asked, a little surprised.
Miao Quan chuckled softly. "Telling whether a patient is being honest is a fundamental skill for a therapist."
