I usually serve students through two ways, taking the initiative to contact students, or students taking the initiative to contact us.
When new students enter the school every year, the school will arrange a psychological census for the new students. From the census results, we will pay attention to those students with serious psychological problems, such as depression, anxiety, and even mental disorders and bipolar disorder. We will proactively contact these students and invite them for psychological counseling.
In our census, about 8% of students have serious psychological problems every year; about 10% have ordinary psychological problems; about 15% have potential psychological problems.
The second way is for students to contact us proactively. We have a psychological appointment system where students can make an appointment for consultation if they need some help.
Generally speaking, among the students who take the initiative to come to me, there are more freshmen. Because freshmen students will have an adjustment obstacle when they enter the school. This situation may be different from what everyone imagines. You may think that psychological counseling in school is all about emotional problems or disagreements with roommates, but in fact, these are not the main reasons.
Campus Bullying
I met a girl who came for consultation. When we first chatted, she said that she couldn't get along with her roommates. She was always cautious about what she said, for fear that if she did something wrong, it would attract others. Swearing, even beating.
I asked her, why do you have such an idea?
She told me that when she was in junior high school, because her appearance stood out in the class, a boy showed some affection for her, which aroused the jealousy of a female classmate who was a promiscuous girl. One day, the classmate gathered several girls, blocked her in the toilet, tore off her clothes, and beat and kicked her.

To be honest, before consulting this girl, I could not imagine that a girl could be so cruel to another girl. Do you know how they do it? They actually kicked the girl in the lower body, hit her on the head, dug out the sanitary napkins with girls' menstrual periods stuck on them from the toilet trash can, and stuffed them into her mouth. Later, when they were still not relieved, they made the girl kneel down and begged them to let her go.
When we do psychological counseling, we focus more on channeling the emotions of the clients so that they can have a more reasonable understanding, resolve their bad emotions, and develop in a good direction. The girl was crying while telling me these past events. I could feel that she was crying not because of sadness, but because of fear. After all these years, she still couldn't get over that fear.
In my experience, for children of this age, school bullying is a relatively common cause of psychological trauma. At this stage of life, many students' psychological problems are essentially caused by the accumulation of psychological trauma during their teenage years. In addition to campus bullying, conflicts in the original family and interpersonal barriers are also common. Family of Origin Issues
In December 2016, when I first started working at the school, the December psychological census happened to be over.
One morning, our leader told me that a girl’s census results were not quite right, showing severe depression, and it was recommended that she receive psychological counseling.
That morning, around nine o'clock, the girl came to the office to see me. It was very cold that day, but she was wearing very little clothing and her face was red from the cold.
After a few pleasantries, I asked her, did your teacher tell you why you came to see me? She said, I don’t know, the teacher didn’t tell me.
Picture/Tsjisse Talsma Illustration
It is necessary to remind here that many people who do not know much about psychology have a misunderstanding. They think that if a student has psychological problems, just take him to the psychology teacher. It is not convenient to say other things. too much. But in fact, this approach is inappropriate.The correct procedure is to clearly inform the student that you need psychological counseling. We have made an appointment with a psychological teacher for you, and we hope you will talk to the teacher.
When the girl suddenly found out that I was a psychology teacher, she suddenly became very defensive. Basically, when I asked a question, she just answered without giving me any more information. The consultation that day only lasted for more than 20 minutes and then ended.
After that day, I did not take the initiative to contact her. A principle of psychological counseling is "don't reject those who come, and don't keep those who go." This means that if you are willing to come for consultation, I welcome you, but if you do not want to consult, I will not force you.
Two or three days later, I met the girl by chance on the school playground. At that time, she was sitting alone on the lawn in a daze. I walked over and started chatting with her. At first, she was a little cold. I took out a piece of chocolate and gave it to her.
This is actually a little trick from our psychological counselors. The counselors I know always carry some sweet things with them, such as candies, chocolates, etc. Because after eating this thing, it will stimulate the brain to secrete dopamine , helping the interviewee relax.
Slowly, she dropped her guard against me and became willing to talk to me a few words.
I asked her why she was sitting here alone?
She said that staying in the dormitory was boring.
"Why is it boring?"
[Because there is a girl in our dormitory calling her mother, the voice is so loud.
"It's not the time to sleep now, why do you think it affects you?"
"Anyway, I don't want to hear the sound of other people talking to my parents on the phone."
I vaguely felt that there might be something between her and her parents. some problems. I asked her how often you usually call your parents.
She said that she had not had a fight since entering school.
I asked, don’t you miss home?
She sneered and said, I never feel that I have a family.
Picture/Illustration by Tsjisse Talsma
Through chatting with her, I gradually learned that their family is more patriarchal, so after her mother gave birth to her, the attitude of her husband's family was very bad. Her father would often beat her mother.
What she remembers very clearly is that one day when she was about three or four years old, her father was drunk. After returning home, her mother said a few words to her father, which triggered yet another episode of domestic violence. She saw with her own eyes that her father slapped her mother to the ground. So, she wanted to stop her father, so she knelt on the ground, hugged her father's lap, and kept crying. Then, her father kicked her away.
A few years later, my parents finally divorced. When she was eight or nine years old, her father got married for the second time and gave her a younger brother. From then on, her life became even more miserable. She didn't have enough to eat or keep warm.
Later, after she graduated from middle school, her family did not want her to continue going to school. Her mother proposed that she should pay for the expenses while studying, so she was allowed to enter our school. After
entered the school, she found that the classmates around her had better family conditions and had a harmonious relationship with their parents, so she felt particularly uncomfortable. In the two months since she entered school, she has been immersed in depression.
During my communication with her, I could feel that this girl loved and hated her family of origin, especially her father's side. Growing up, she wanted to gain her father's approval, but no matter what she did, her father still favored her younger brother.
I have always suggested that this girl receive long-term psychological counseling to help her adapt to campus life. But unfortunately, she stopped coming to school after the second semester of her freshman year, and later she voluntarily dropped out.
Paranoia
Two days ago, I met a particularly interesting boy. He was wearing a big hat and said to me, Teacher, come here and I will show you something.
I said, what?
He said, don't tell me, I have a secret handed down from the central government. The central government asked me to participate in the country's "Beidou Project." This is a secret that no one can tell.

I said, what?
He said, don't tell me, I have a secret handed down from the central government. The central government asked me to participate in the country's "Beidou Project." This is a secret that no one can tell.
Picture/from the Internet
I understood as soon as I heard it. This was a typical delusion, so I asked him, how do you know the secret?
He said that our relatives are up there, and he conveyed this to me.
I said, how did he convey it to you?
He said, in a dream.
I really wanted to laugh, but I didn’t. Because if you laugh in front of such an interviewee, you may arouse his anger and cause adverse reactions.
I followed him and asked, what does this plan require you to do?
He said, I want to help our country's Beidou satellite transform into big data. He also gave me popular science about what big data is, what the cloud is, etc.
Actually, at the beginning, I was a little confused and didn’t know where to start. As we were chatting, I thought about it, could this be caused by some kind of organic brain disease?
"About when did you get instructions from the central government?"
"When you were in the first year of high school."
"You got the instructions from the central government in the first year of high school. Why are you implementing this now?" "During the epidemic, relatives at home He kept telling me in his dreams that this action was about to begin." I asked him again, did anything happen to you when you were a freshman in high school? Have you ever fallen? Or banging your head? Or have you ever had a fight with someone?
He thought for a moment and said, it really does exist. When he was a freshman in high school, he fell down the stairs at their school and had a bulge behind his head. However, he didn't notice at the time that the bag was always there.
He said, during the epidemic, I felt like there was a receiver in my body. I feel like the bag on this head is getting bigger and bigger lately, and the instructions are getting clearer.
Hearing this, I knew for sure that it was probably an organic brain disease. After he left, I immediately asked the head teacher to contact his parents and send this classmate to the psychiatric department for a brain CT. Two days ago, I got feedback: Brain CT showed that there was a hematoma in his brain. It may be that after the impact, the congestion did not dissipate, and it grew bigger and bigger, compressing one of his nerves, causing him to Paranoia emerged.
No one understands me, I don’t want to live anymore
In June of this year, something happened in our school. A boy climbed to the roof of the teaching building and wanted to commit suicide by jumping off the building.
Just when he was about to commit suicide, he received a message from a classmate in his class asking where he was. He said I was above the teaching building. The classmate said, "Wait a minute, I'll come find you." Later, he said that if not for this message, he might have jumped.
Picture/from the Internet
When this happened, I happened not to be in school. The teacher on duty asked the boy what was going on, but he was reluctant to tell. The teacher gave him my contact information and asked him to come for psychological consultation.
The next afternoon, the boy really took the initiative to come to me. He was about 1.8 meters tall and quite handsome, but his eyes were hollow and he seemed to be hiding a lot of things in his heart.
I asked him, why did you find me?
He said, Teacher, you are my most helpless choice, because I really don’t know who to tell. I didn't die that day, and I felt very uncomfortable after I went back. I don't know when I want to commit suicide again, or if I want to find someone to talk to before I die.
I suddenly became alert and said, the teacher is very willing to listen to you share your things, and also hopes to give you some help.
He started to tell me about things at home. He also comes from a divorced family, and his father also committed domestic violence. Not only that, because his father was the youngest son in the family, he was spoiled like a giant baby and had an extremely bad temper.
After his parents divorced, his father fought for his custody rights in order to obtain alimony. After the divorce, the father idled around all day and relied on family support to survive. Once he drank too much, he would beat and kick his son. When
was a freshman in high school, one day, he was sleeping alone at home. Suddenly, he received a call from the hospital, saying that your father might be dying and come to the hospital to see him. He said "Oh" at that time, hung up the phone, and fell back to sleep.
slept for a short while, and he felt that he should still go there symbolically. As a result, his father died not long after arriving at the hospital.

The cause of his father's death was cerebral hemorrhage. That day, he was drunk and dropped his glasses on the ground. When he squatted down to pick them up, he suddenly stood up and passed out. After being sent to the hospital, he was not rescued.
I asked him, were you sad when your father died?
He said that he didn't seem to have any special feeling, as if he was relieved.
After finishing the funeral affairs, he returned home and lay on the bed. He felt as if his father had come back that night and had something to say to him, but he didn't want to hear it.
Later, his mother took him over and lived with him. By that time, his mother had started a new family. His stepfather is a businessman with good economic conditions and lives in a mid-to-high-end community in our local area.
When he went to his new home for the first time, he immediately felt a huge gap. This gap made him complain to his mother for the first time, complaining about why she didn't pick him up earlier and get him out of his difficult living environment. Therefore, for a long time, he and his mother did not speak. Later, he discovered that something was wrong with him: he seemed to have no interest in anything. He was very sad every day. He felt like a walking zombie and could not find the meaning of existence.
Once, his mother asked him why his emotional state was not particularly good after moving here. He talked to his mother about what happened over the years, hoping that her mother could comfort him.
However, at this time, his mother immediately retorted to him and said, do you think my life will be easier after your father and I divorce? You think you are miserable, have you ever thought that your mother is even worse off than you? At least you have books to read and food to eat. Can you imagine what kind of life your mother lives?
After hearing his mother's words, the string in his heart immediately became unbearable, and his tears burst like a flood. He felt that he had been abandoned by the world and had no one to talk to.
Picture/Illustration by Tsjisse Talsma
More than a month later, a man jumped from the building in their community. Generally speaking, in a relatively closed community environment, jumping off a building is contagious and will affect people with potential suicidal tendencies.
So, one time, he asked his mother, did you know that someone in the group next door jumped off the building?
His mother immediately said, I really don’t understand these people. What’s so hard about living this life that they have to jump off the building? I think these people are cowards.
Actually, his original intention was to use this topic to communicate his thoughts with his mother. However, after his mother said this, he didn't want to talk at all.
At that time, he had actually graduated from high school. After entering college, he always wanted to jump off a building, but he always hesitated. During the psychological census, we did not find any problems with him because the questions in the psychological census at that time were all made randomly, and the result showed that he had no psychological problems.
This semester, due to the epidemic, the school is closed. During those months, he stayed with his mother and stepfather. He said that it was the darkest time in his life, and his symptoms of depression were getting worse.
On May Day this year, his mother and stepfather returned to his stepfather's hometown, and he was alone at home. He originally planned to burn charcoal to commit suicide, but when he was about to commit suicide, he thought that by the time his mother came home a week or two later, his body would already stink. He thought it would be ugly to die like that. It just so happened that the school issued a notice at that time, allowing him to return to school, so he decided to go to school and die again. This led to the jumping incident I mentioned earlier.
When he came to me for consultation that day, the teacher in the department had actually contacted his parents and wanted to take him home that day.
I could see that this child had a sense of self-rescue, so I asked him: If the teacher goes to communicate with your mother and let her understand that you actually have depression, can you accept it?
He thought for a moment and said yes.
So, after the consultation, I contacted his mother through his class teacher. Her mother couldn't understand what I said at first and kept emphasizing that if something happens, just be strong and let it pass. I pointed out that depression cannot be overcome by just being strong, just like if you have a cold, if you don’t take care of it, it may develop into pneumonia; if you are mentally ill, if you don’t take care of it, it may develop into depression. disease, even leading to suicide.
In the end, her mother was convinced by me and accepted that her son had depression.
Picture/Tsjisse Talsma Illustration
After the communication was completed, I called the child back and told him that his mother had agreed to take him to a specialized mental health hospital for diagnosis. At that moment, his whole body seemed to light up, even his eyes were filled with light. Then, he followed his mother back home.
Then he followed his parents' car home. Two days ago, I got feedback from their class teacher. It is said that his psychological diagnosis proved that he did have severe depression and severe anxiety, and he was currently receiving treatment. If the treatment effect is better, he can return to school next semester.
When I come into contact with such children who have suicidal tendencies, I usually recommend that they be transferred to the hospital for professional psychological treatment. However, 80% of parents disagree and will even make a fuss with the school. In their view, psychological hospitals are equivalent to mental hospitals.
In my opinion, if your loved one has signs of psychological problems, you must try to get him to receive help instead of asking him to be strong. It's not a big deal, just get over it. It's very possible that he really can't survive it.
So far, the COVID-19 epidemic has been going on for about half a year. College students who were supposed to return to school had to stay at home and take classes online. At this time, many researchers found that many students suffered from depression and anxiety.
Fortunately, many colleges and universities are also aware of this problem and have begun investigations and return visits.
If you also suspect that you have a similar situation, I strongly recommend that you contact the psychological counselor at your school immediately, or go to a local hospital for medical treatment as soon as possible. In fact, there are many people in this world who are willing to help you.
