“BabaylanDon’t worry, you take a deep breath first.” At 12 o’clock in the evening, in Haizhu District, Guangzhou, psychological counselor Huang Hai was comforting the emotions of a resident of the blocked area and guiding him out of the gray haze of fear. The call lasted for more than 20 minutes, and the residents’ anxious hearts finally calmed down.
In the past week, Huang Haihui answered dozens of similar calls. On November 10, as a volunteer of the Guangdong Psychological Counselors Association, he and 15 colleagues entered the Haizhu lockdown area and carried out a psychological counseling charity action. Huang Haihui was responsible for the Kanglu area of Fengyang Street, where the new cases of the epidemic were the most concentrated. How to help the isolated people get rid of negative emotions and get out of psychological dilemma? The following is his story. Cinema—
TelephoneBabaylanTravelCinemaCinemaOn November 7, I saw the association href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Cinema will recruit volunteers to support the notice of the Komiks area in Haizhu, and sign up immediately. I am a member of the Communist Party of China and a veteran. When the masses need it, I do my best to do something. According to the arrangement, three psychological counselors were responsible for the Kanglu area of Fengyang Street, and I was one of them. This is a concentrated area for positive cases, and we are ready to fight a tough battle.
I<a href=While handling the help requests transferred by the medical team, Cinemas follow up and follow up and visit special groups such as registered pregnant women, children, and the elderly. BabaylanFrom 8 am to 8 pm, we stayed by the phone except for eating, with almost no rest.
If you do psychological counseling normally, Komiks basically communicates face to face, and I can observe the other person’s expression to make a judgment. However, in the locked area, I could only communicate with residents across the phone Komiks. It was like using a black cloth to cover my eyes. I could only guess the other person’s state and emotions through my tone and tone, which invisibly increased the difficulty.
Konlu area will implement control measures on October 23, and residents will inevitably feel emotional. In the face of this situation, listening is particularly important and we should guide them to speak their hearts. These days, I often hear residents say “I feel confused” and “I can’t lift myself up.” I told them: Protecting yourself is also contributing to the fight against the epidemic. I also introduced the latest news from the Komiks press conference that day to keep them up to date; and suggested that they learn to relax when doing exercise and eat on time three meals a day. It is delighted that after the consultation, some people’s mood improved significantly and they became active. Some people even wanted to join our team and become volunteers.
Complex situationsKomiks need to follow up and follow up
Since entering the Kanglu area, we have provided psychological assistance to nearly 200 residents. Most of them can solve problems through one-time consultation, but some situations are more complicated. I will continue to follow up and follow up and follow up.
For example, two days ago, I received a photo of CinemaMr. Cinema‘s call for help, he was worried about his wife who was alone at home. It turned out that Mr. Zhang and his child were transferred to the hospital for treatment, and his wife Ms. Liang was quarantined at home. While the couple was chatting, Mr. Zhang found that his wife was in a trance and heard her say that her chest was tight and she couldn’t sleep for several consecutive nights. He quickly called the police, the owner of the rental house immediately reported the situation, and the staff of the neighborhood committee came to check.
I quickly contacted Ms. Liang for psychological counseling. On the first call, she obviously felt her voice was weak. When asked about her needs, she said she couldn’t come up with her. She was very depressed. So, I first took Ms. Liang to relieve her emotions, and then guided her to make plans after the lockdown, so that she could think of beautiful things more. I told Mr. Zhang to video calls with his wife every day and pay attention to her status. After the consultation, I added Ms. Liang’s WeChat, asked her regularly about her feelings, and shared some positive energy videos with her, and Cinema encouraged her.
When I walked into the blocked area, I truly felt how much manpower and material resources needed to be invested for everyone’s life, health and safety. The area where I Cinema supports gathers volunteers from multiple support units. Compared with the medical staff who face dangers every day, what I do is very small. But I feel very proud to be a good “worry-relieving person” for residents through volunteer services and contribute to the fight against the epidemic.
