The Ultimate Self-Healing, When Nietzsche Weeps

Psychology can only be valued if it is independent of life

That must be something wrong

Time for a good book a week

Psychology is everywhere

Today is the 6th good book of "Consolation"

When Nietzsche Wept

Do you think that psychological counselors can see through other people's minds at a glance, so when talking to them, they always feel insecure, and always have a sense of insight to be analyzed.

Psychological counselors think they can do it.

But in fact, just like the poem of Bian Zhilin that we learned before, "Broken Chapter"——

You look at the view from the bridge, and the people who watch the view look at you upstairs.

The dialogue between the counselor and the client can be evenly matched, especially if the client is philosophical.

I would like to recommend another book by Uncle Owen Aaron, "When Nietzsche Wept." The book combines a variety of famous historical figures into characters in the book, including the philosopher Nietzsche, Freud, the founder of the psychoanalytic school, and the medical master Breyer. Through the real history, thinking concepts and personality traits presented in historical materials and famous works, Uncle Yalong staged one blood-spattered dialogue after another between doctors and patients.

Not only is there a lot of psychological counseling skills integrated into it, but the exciting chain of logic is also commendable. The most remarkable thing is that under the relationship that seems to be that Brehr is a doctor and Nietzsche is a patient, who is the real patient and who is the person who solves the ultimate answer. In the end, the two were able to transcend their own life's difficulties in unexpected ways.

We often say that things have two sides, and we can always summarize anything that happens in this world with the phrase "*** is a double-edged sword". But if you are asked what the other side of depression is besides pain, you will probably give the answer "no benefit at all."

But in fact, many people are reluctant to come out of pain because this pain brings them something that happiness cannot match. In other words, you choose to suffer, you are willing to suffer.

Nietzsche endures painful symptoms such as long-term migraines and amblyopia that cannot be treated by medicine, and he analyzes himself in a conversation with Dr. Breyer:

I believe that I have benefited from my pathetic vision. For years, I couldn't read the thoughts of other thinkers. As a result, I was separated from others and I thought only of my own thoughts. Mentally, I must live on my own flesh and blood! That may be a good thing. Perhaps, this is why I became an honest philosopher. I write only based on personal experience, I write with blood, and the best truth is the bloody truth!

So Nietzsche's illness actually liberated him and made him successful. So you might as well think about it, if it weren't for the pain that happened, would you still be where you are now? After the pain and experience, I am afraid that you will not recruit yourself to see.

Dr. Breyer proudly thought that he was gradually breaking through Nietzsche's psychological defenses, but he did not expect that he was slowly caught up in Nietzsche's thoughts:

My illness also made me face the reality of death. For a while, I thought I had an incurable disease that would cause me to die young. The looming shadow of death is a great gift, and I work around the clock because I am afraid that I will die before I can finish what I need to write.

In this round of dark and difficult conversations, Dr. Breyer began to examine his dull and suffocating life, and made what seemed to others to be almost neurotic, that is, to leave his rich and virtuous wife. He did not have the courage before, but he was deeply affected in the process of treating Nietzsche, so his analysis of Nietzsche, all the analysis of Nietzsche himself, was actually reflected back on Dr. Breyer himself.

To attain the original power to change oneself, the result of taking is short-lived and has side effects, and it is only in the process of healing others with good intentions that one draws on a truly lasting and life-rich energy.
