A student with obsessive-compulsive disorder (obsessive-compulsive disorder) who Xi Morita ** said to me: "Teacher, I was miserable by 'Morita **'!”
I thought it was strange when I heard it, and asked, "What's the matter, how can you say that you were miserable by 'Morita **'?"”
He said: "It was Morita ** who told me to go with the flow. So I wash my hands when I want to, and I wash them as many times as I want. As a result, my OCD symptoms seem to be getting worse and worse!”
I replied, "Who do you listen to to your understanding of 'go with the flow'?"”
He said, "Isn't that what it means?" Isn't it shun, it's that. Naturally, it is. So isn't it just going with the truth?Whatever it wanted, I'd just follow it. ”
I said, "You are not miserable by 'Morita **', but by 'Morita **' as you understand it." You're not going with the flow, you're the classic 'let it be' and let it be. It does whatever it wants you. But in fact, what 'Morita **' is talking about is what it does by the way, and I don't interfere. plus the latter sentence to do what should be, is to ignore it. We don't bother with it, we just do what we have to do, that's all!”
The above obsessive-compulsive student is more cute, and he misinterprets Morita Masama's words. One is to ignore it, and the other is to let it go, only one word is missing, and the sky is very different!
Of course, this is actually a common question in counseling. It can be said that, more or less, we all make similar mistakes. Because each of us has a different cognitive background, everyone will have a different understanding of the same sentence.
I'm a Southerner. I once said to a colleague, "I haven't eaten for 3 days. My colleague was frightened when he heard this, and said, "What are you doing, you haven't eaten for 3 days." Come, come, I'll invite you to dinner at noon. ”
I didn't mean to say it, but it felt weird to hear her say that. It's not a big deal to haven't eaten for 3 days, why are you scared?
I was stunned, and suddenly I figured it out. Laughing out loud, he said to her, "Do you think I haven't eaten for 3 days?"”
She said, "yes, didn't you say you hadn't eaten for 3 days?".”
I laughed and said, "In our south, not eating, means not eating rice. In other words, I haven't eaten rice for 3 days. It's not that I haven't eaten for 3 days. We met and asked if you had eaten, and we asked if you had eaten rice. On our side, pasta is not counted as the main meal. ”
With that, we all laughed. Got an oolong.
Therefore, due to various reasons, it is inevitable to misinterpret the original meaning.
So how can we avoid such misunderstandings in the process of diagnosis and treatment?
The best thing to do is to follow the doctor so that any problems can be corrected. If the conditions do not allow it, the reading should be contextualized to see if it can be self-consistent elsewhere. This can reduce your own misunderstandings to a certain extent.
Of course, no matter how we understand it, it is essential to do it in the end. Otherwise, "saying that you can't eat enough", just knowing, it doesn't make much sense.
