Now i'm up in Tokyo for academic conference. Last night I had a dinner together with my cousin. We have been good friends since our childhood. She is now suffering from mental imbalance and taking leave of absence from her job. From my point of view, her way of thinking is pretty obsessive-compulsive, and that made her mind exhausted, which is the cause of her symptom. I listened to her for 90 mins and got really tired. I am now re-assured that psychotherapist is not my job. I am sure that if she can meet a skillful psychotherapist who can coach her how to set her own mind free and relaxed, her quality of life will improve. But, the psychiatrist that she is meeting now doesn't seem good, so I promised her to look for a better one.
