He said, "That’s why I want to vomit everything I ate."
Ning Youguang softly asked Xiaoqi, "Do you still feel like life is meaningless now? Are you planning to turn your world into heaven or hell?"
Xiaoqi thought for a moment, "I now feel that living in this world is quite interesting, and of course, I hope my world can become heaven."
He said, "Thinking about it now, even death can’t solve the problem; what if I went to hell after I died?"
"That’s right! Since you’ve figured it out, have a good talk with your stomach." Ning Youguang said to Xiaoqi.
Xiaoqi nodded, closed his eyes, and sat quietly for about ten minutes.
Then, he told her, "My stomach also feels that living is quite interesting. When I grow up, there are many things to do, many books to read, and many places to go. It promised me it won’t torture itself anymore."
The hypnosis ended, and Ning Youguang brought Xiaoqi back to consciousness.
He still had a more important problem to solve: his relationship with his parents.
If this problem is not resolved, Xiaoqi might continue to resist with other illnesses and the family.
Another therapy session.
Ning Youguang asked Xiaoqi, "Do you hate your mom and dad, as well as your grandparents?"
He looked at her in confusion, not knowing how to answer.
Ning Youguang suggested, "Shall we travel through time and take a look?"
He nodded excitedly.
So, she hypnotized him again.
Then, let him return to those happy times with his family in childhood, seeing scenes where he was lovingly cared for by them.
Then let time fly quickly to his 50s, when his parents and grandparents had already left him.
He stood in front of their graves, tears streaming down his face.
At this point, she asked him, "How do you feel now?"
He answered, tears flowing, "I think if my mom hadn’t forced me to read and study when I was young, I might have missed out in life. My dad also happily played with me at home, bought me lots of toys and books, took me to fun places, showed me beautiful scenery, fed me delicious food. Anyway, I know I am important to him in his heart. He loves me very much, and now I realize that I also love my dad. It’s not all hate like I thought."
"And my grandparents, whenever there was something good to eat, they let me have it first. When I got sick, they felt so heartbroken, anxious, and uncomfortable. They often gave me a lot of pocket money; I always had the most pocket money in class."
Then she said to him, "Have the 50-year-old you tell the 11-year-old you a few things because that child is suffering from the overly controlling education of the grandparents."
Xiaoqi closed his eyes with a caring expression, as if speaking to everyone in front of him: "Grandpa, grandma, and mom and dad might have their flaws, but they truly love you, care about you, and consider you. When you enter high school and college, they won’t control you like that anymore. Live well, cherish the time you spend with them. Remember, your soul is always free, and apart from yourself, no one can trap you."
After Ning Youguang woke Xiaoqi up, he went to the living room, went to his parents, and hugged them tightly, unwilling to let go.
Although Xiaoqi’s parents didn’t understand what was happening, they were very moved.
Xiaoqi’s mom was in tears, and Xiaoqi’s dad’s eyes turned red.
Because their child hadn’t been so close to them in a long time.
After this treatment, Xiaoqi’s vomiting symptoms disappeared completely.
Before leaving.
Ning Youguang continually advised Xiaoqi’s parents, hoping they could go back and communicate well with the grandparents, try to gradually trust Xiaoqi, and give the child some independent space.
Initially, Xiaoqi’s dad firmly believed that his parents treated Xiaoqi well and that there was nothing wrong; he himself was very healthy.
Ning Youguang sternly told him, "During Xiaoqi’s hypnosis, I saw he had severe suicidal tendencies. Do you think that’s okay?"
Xiaoqi’s dad was shocked on the spot.
After a long pause, he spoke hoarsely, "My parents treated me this way since childhood too; why don’t I have any problems?"
Ning Youguang said, "Having psychological issues doesn’t necessarily show symptoms. It’s like many people have severe tumors, but outsiders can’t see it at all. Only when they go to the hospital for a check-up can they find out. Children and parents form parts of the family’s big system. When parents have issues, this system gets sick, and the child merely shows the symptoms. However, if we only consult the child, it’s like adults make mistakes, but the child gets punished."
"If the child’s problem is a result of various family relationships, then through the child, we can see the many problems behind the child’s family."
Xiaoqi’s mom was already in tears by the side.
She quietly cried for a while, then lifted her head to Ning Youguang and said, "Teacher Ning, please treat me too."
Thus, Xiaoqi’s family postponed their return to Shenzhen for several days.
...
The night before preparing to return to Jincheng for the New Year.
Ning Youguang spread the suitcase open on the floor, packing while carefully advising, "During these days when I’m not here, do you plan to stay here or go back to live?"
"If going back, I’ll send the things in the fridge to Teacher Li. If staying here, I’ll leave them for you to eat."
Shi Wangyue sat cross-legged on the bed watching her busy, silent.
Ning Youguang continued packing and speaking, "During these days when I’m not here, you must remember to eat breakfast well, understood?"
Shi Wangyue remained silent.
Ning Youguang knew he was a bit unwilling, continuing to talk to herself, "Make sure to sleep for at least 7 hours! Be in bed before 11 p.m.! If anything happens, message me on WeChat anytime."
Shi Wangyue finally moved.
He walked to her, closed the wardrobe door, wrapped his arms around her waist from behind tightly, with his head pressed on her back, his voice low and urgent, "Jiejie, it’s already ten-thirty. You leave tomorrow morning."
Ning Youguang froze.
Shi Wangyue continued, "Let’s seize the time, shall we? Thinking about you being gone for so many days, I really can’t stand it."
Ning Youguang’s breath hitched.
Shi Wangyue gently bit her ear, making her tingle all over.
At five o’clock the next morning.
Ning Youguang lay in bed, her body feeling sore and soft, not wanting to move.
Shi Wangyue was very attentive, helping her pack. 1314
