Chapter 124: Harbor of the Soul
"Sister Fang, what are you looking at?" Xiao Cui pushed the door open and walked in, holding a pot of tea in her hand and a curious look on her face.
"I am studying knowledge about mental health and am planning to start some psychological counseling services." Chen Fang raised her head, a determined light flashing in her eyes.
"Psychological counseling? What is this?" Xiao Cui looked confused, put down the teapot and moved closer.
"It is to help people talk about their worries, relieve psychological pressure and comfort their hearts." Chen Fang explained seriously.
"It sounds great! But, Sister Fang, can you really do it?" Xiao Cui was a little worried.
"I will try my best to learn, acquire more knowledge and help those in need." Chen Fang said confidently.
At this time, Uncle Wang came in and heard their conversation, then interrupted and said, "Chen Fang, you want to open a psychological counseling service? This is not an easy thing."
"I know, but I hope to provide a space for everyone to talk and make them feel cared for," Chen Fang said firmly.
"That's a good idea! There are many people around me who have troubles in their hearts, but have nowhere to talk to." Uncle Wang nodded in agreement.
"Then I need Uncle Wang's support to help me promote it so that more people will know about it." Chen Fang responded with a smile.
"No problem, I will definitely help you." Uncle Wang agreed generously.
A few days later, Chen Fang posted a promotional poster in the square at the entrance of the village, with the words "spiritual consultation, talk about your troubles" written on it, which attracted the attention of many villagers. She was full of expectations and wanted to provide a harbor for the villagers to talk.
"Sister Fang, are there any villagers coming to consult today?" Xiao Cui asked excitedly.
"There are a few people, and I am prepared to listen carefully to their voices." Chen Fang smiled slightly, her heart filled with warmth.
Not long after, the first villager who came for consultation was Aunt Li. She had a sad face and sat in front of Chen Fang with tears in her eyes.
"Sister Fang, I always feel depressed and there are too many troubles in life." Aunt Li said in a low voice.
"You can tell me what's bothering you, and I will listen carefully." Chen Fang encouraged her gently.
"My son has been busy with work recently and has no time to accompany me. I feel lonely." Aunt Li's voice trembled and tears welled up in her eyes.
"I understand how you feel. Loneliness is something that many people experience. You can try to actively communicate with your son and tell him what you think." Chen Fang guided patiently.
"But I'm always afraid of disturbing him." Aunt Li shook her head helplessly.
"In fact, communication is the bridge to enhance feelings. You can tell him how you feel, and maybe he will understand and take time to accompany you." Chen Fang said gently.
After some communication, Aunt Li's mood gradually calmed down, and a grateful smile appeared on her face: "Thank you, Sister Fang, I will try it."
As time went by, more and more villagers came to Chen Fang's consultation room to talk about their troubles. Chen Fang listened attentively every time and gave them support and advice.
"Sister Fang, you are so awesome! I feel like everyone's mood has improved." Xiao Cui said excitedly.
"This is all the result of everyone's efforts. I just provide a platform," Chen Fang responded modestly.
"I also want to get involved and help more people." There was a glimmer of hope in Xiao Cui's eyes.
"Of course, I need your help to create a better environment for the villagers." Chen Fang said with a smile.
In the following days, Chen Fang and Xiao Cui organized several mental health lectures, attracting more villagers to participate. In a relaxed atmosphere, everyone shared their stories and talked to each other, and the burden on their hearts was gradually reduced.
"Sister Fang, how many villagers come to consult today?" Xiao Cui asked excitedly, holding a basket of fresh fruits in her hand, ready to entertain the visiting villagers.
"There are five of them today. It seems that everyone has started to pay attention to mental health." Chen Fang replied with a smile, a gleam of relief in her eyes.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Uncle Wang walked in with a hint of excitement on his face: "Sister Fang, I heard that your psychological counseling here is very effective. I want to try it today."
"Uncle Wang, you can tell me if you have any troubles." Chen Fang warmly invited him to sit down.
"Actually, I've been feeling uneasy lately, and I've also been under some pressure at work." Uncle Wang frowned, looking a little helpless.
"Stress is a normal thing. Can you share the details of your situation?" Chen Fang listened carefully.
"I've been busy planting new crops in the fields recently. I'm afraid of failure and I'm always worried." Uncle Wang sighed, with anxiety in his eyes.
"I understand your concerns, but we can try to focus on the efforts at each step rather than the results. You can make a plan and move forward step by step." Chen Fang guided patiently.
"In this way, I seem to be able to let go of some of the pressure." Uncle Wang nodded, and the sadness on his face eased a little.
"Yes, it is important to adjust your mindset. You can try to record your progress every day. Seeing your own efforts will make you feel more at ease." Chen Fang continued to encourage.
Uncle Wang nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Fang, I will try it."
As time went by, more and more villagers came into Chen Fang's consulting room to share their troubles. Chen Fang listened attentively every time and gave them support and advice.
"Sister Fang, a young girl came to consult today, and she seemed a little nervous." Xiao Cui reminded.
"Please ask her to come in." Chen Fang said with a smile, her heart full of anticipation.
Not long after, the young girl came in, her face slightly red, looking a little embarrassed: "Sister Fang, I...I always feel that I am not good enough, and I feel very upset."
"Please relax. You can speak out your worries." Chen Fang encouraged gently.
"I always feel that I have nothing outstanding in the village, and I often feel inferior." The girl whispered, with anxiety flashing in her eyes.
"Everyone has their own advantages and shining points. You can try to find your own strengths and gradually build up your confidence." Chen Fang guided patiently.
"But I always feel that I haven't done well enough." The girl shook her head, seeming unable to let it go.
"We can start with small things, set some small goals, and achieve them step by step, and you will find your progress." Chen Fang said with a smile.
A glimmer of hope gradually flickered in the girl's eyes: "Thank you, Sister Fang. I will try my best."
As the number of consultations increased, Chen Fang decided to hold a mental health sharing session and invite more villagers to participate. She posted a poster in the square at the entrance of the village with the words "Spiritual Sharing Session, Talk and Grow" written on it.
"Sister Fang, will there be many people coming to this sharing session?" Xiao Cui was a little worried.
"I believe that everyone will gradually realize the importance of mental health." Chen Fang answered confidently.
On the day of the sharing session, the sun was shining brightly, and the square was crowded with villagers. Chen Fang stood on the stage and smiled at everyone: "Thank you all for coming. Today we will share the stories of the soul and talk about our inner troubles."
"Sister Fang, I want to say that I have found a place to talk here, and I feel much better!" a young mother said excitedly.
"I also want to share that my stress has been reduced a lot. Thanks to Sister Fang for her help!" another villager continued.
Chen Fang felt the enthusiasm from the villagers and was deeply moved: "Each of us needs a harbor for our souls. Today's sharing session is to let everyone feel each other's support and care."
As the sharing session progressed, villagers came forward one after another to tell their stories and share their feelings. Everyone's voice converged in this warm space, forming a powerful force.
