Chapter 669: Spend More Ti with Children
“When my wife is not by my side, I am in a terrible state, often suffering from insomnia. I don’t have nightmares, because the only person on my mind is my wife.
If I am not stimulated by the outside world, and the lingering scenes are not else aroused, I can live like a normal person. However, the re ntion of children frightens , I fear the sa situation will happen again.”
Olivia Jenkins fell silent, but subconsciously glanced at Daniel Marshall.
Daniel Marshall was also looking at Olivia, and he held her hand.
Olivia was taken aback, her hand trembled slightly, yet she did not decisively throw Daniel’s hand off.
Professor Winnie: “I have already looked over the form Mr. Daniel Marshall filled out and have a certain understanding of your lives. During the course of the treatnt, I would not recomnd that you live separately.
Mr. Daniel Marshall, you need to pay attention to your emotional reactions. If you have trouble sleeping or you suffer from insomnia or even recurrent nightmares, you must seek dicinal treatnt.
The main focus is on psychotherapy, particularly cognitive-behavioral therapy, through which you can alter your understanding of the events.
Another thod is systematic desensitization therapy, through which I will get you to relive the scenario, gradually reducing it. Once your symptoms alleviate, we will introduce the stimulus again, allowing you to slowly adapt.
The entire therapeutic process requires your cooperation. Regardless of any preconceived notions, I hope you can temporarily set them aside and welco the therapy with an open mind.”
Daniel Marshall didn’t imdiately respond, his deep eyes filled with expectancy, looking at Olivia.
Professor Winnie was also looking at Olivia.
Although Olivia didn’t study psychology as an elective course, she was interested in psychology as a dical student who had read many books and attended several academic lectures. She also had discussions about academic topics. She understood what Professor Winnie was saying and knew the importance of cooperation.
After hesitation, Olivia promised: “I won’t be wilful, rest assured, I will cooperate with his treatnt.”
Professor Winnie: “Regarding environntal therapy, I suggest that the deceased’s belongings should not appear in your lives.”
Daniel Marshall nodded seriously, “I understand.”
Professor Winnie: “We’ll end today’s session here. Co back together tomorrow afternoon. Record all your emotional changes when you are together every day, as these will serve as references for our diagnosis.
If you have ti, you could participate more in children-related activities, and try to get in touch with children more. If one day, the ntion of children does not strongly repulse you, that would signify a step forward.”
Olivia’s face changed slightly, and her almond eyes drooped slightly, “Thank you, Professor Winnie, I understand, I know how to do.”
Professor Winnie looked at Olivia with a kind gaze, his eyes conveying approval, “Olivia, I believe in you!”
…
Upon leaving Professor Winnie’s private office, Olivia asked Daniel Marshall while walking: “Are you free tonight?”
Daniel Marshall responded without hesitation: “I’ve already made arrangents. I will be free for the next three months.”
“That’s fine. I’ll take you to the dance center tonight. There’re many children practicing dancing there. You can try to adapt first. Now, I’ll take you to the wellness center.”
Daniel Marshall did not disagree and followed Olivia.
Twenty minutes later, they walked into the wellness center together.
Suddenly, Daniel Marshall saw many children, the cries, and chatter overwhelming.
Unconsciously, Daniel Marshall furrowed his brows, his hands clenching slightly.
Admittedly, he had never experienced such a situation.
Usually, he would rarely co across children, he would not even glance at an infant.
Unexpectedly, Olivia took Daniel’s hand, “Hearing them cry, do you find it irritating?”
