Chapter 6 05 perfect memory

"...when did he get hurt?" the partner said, avoiding a nurse carrying a tray full of syringes and needles. Me: "Last week. Ligament and soft tissue damage." Partner: "Understood, how long will it take for him to resume training?" Me: "It's hard to say, if you follow the doctor's advice completely, it may be two to three months, but the danger is now..." Partner: "You mean he ran out privately for physical training?" I stopped at the door of the ward and nodded. "That's why we asked for help—his coaches and guidance staff thought it was a psychological problem."

Partner: "Okay, let me talk to him first to see what's going on." I pushed open the door of the ward. About 3 days ago, a friend in the sports-related industry approached me and asked if I could do a favor, and then took me to a certain hospital without any explanation.I saw him in the hospital bed - a certain famous athlete.After communicating with him himself, as well as contacting his coach, guide and some teammates, I got a general understanding of some basic situations. The athlete came out early and was once a rookie in a certain sport.However, being famous too early also brought a lot of problems to the young sports star-ego inflation.I have seen related reports in the newspapers in the past few years: this rookie in the sports world was photographed drunk in front of a certain bar.That photo made the news at the time, and the public announced with a sigh and a sigh: The young man was ruined by premature success.However, at the beginning of last year, he, who was addicted to pleasure and mingling in entertainment venues, changed his past and returned to the training ground.Then after nearly a year of training, he returned to the game and was invincible with excellent performance, soaring in the world rankings of the sport.Just when everyone was surprised and lamented that the prodigal son turned back, he was injured because of excessive physical training.Moreover, this was not required by the coach or the guide, but was caused by his almost crazy spontaneous training-strengthening his physical fitness secretly without telling the coach and guide.This has been the case since his comeback.Everyone around him, teammates, doctors, coaches, coaches, even nutritionists and sparring partners, had repeatedly warned him, but it was obviously not working.So after this injury, his nutritionist — my friend — approached me.After one contact, I felt that this was not a problem that I could solve alone, so when I went to the hospital for the second time, I brought my partner—comparatively speaking, he is more proficient in psychoanalysis, so that we can It's good to judge what motive he came from, so that he can suggest and induce hypnosis-if it is really a psychological problem and not some kind of brain damage...hence the previous scene.

After entering the ward, the partner went directly to the topic after just a few minutes of greetings. Partner: "...with a ligament injury like yours, besides various massages and hot and cold stimulation therapy, you can only rest in peace, right?" The athlete nodded: "There is no way, so it is a waste of time." Partner: "I think this kind of waste of time is necessary, just like archery, there is an action of drawing the bow first, and then there will be an explosion when shooting." The athlete smiled: "I'd rather shoot, just pull the trigger. That's why cold weapons died." His partner raised his eyebrows lightly, and he was surprised by the opponent's reaction.

Partner: "We are just making an analogy. After all, the human body is not a machine. I mean it needs to be properly relaxed. Besides, don't you care about your body?" Athlete: "In contrast, I care more about when I can start training... I know, you will tell me to rest and adjust like them, but I think my body has more potential that has not yet been realized Yes, I have a deep understanding of this point-every time when I am exhausted and feel that I can't hold on anymore, I can break through a certain limit... I am still very clear about my body, I am not the kind of addicted exercise Addiction."

The partner nodded thoughtfully: "So that's it... By the way, I can ask you why a few years ago... Uh... I mean you seemed to have retired at that time, right? I know it's very difficult to ask. Impolite, if you feel the same way, you can either not answer or just kick me out." The athlete laughed: "How could that be? I caused the disgraceful past myself, so I will not avoid this topic." After he stopped laughing, he pondered for a while before speaking again, "I said I was too young at that time. Well, it’s actually an excuse… I used to think that the whole world was mine, and as long as I wanted it, there was nothing I couldn’t get. At that time, I never realized what glory represented, because it came so easily. You know what I mean? Speaking of which, I do have some talent, and that's the problem: I think my talent is everything. A little hard work, a little hard work, a little focus, and it's OK .is silly, isn't it?"

Partner: "Young and frivolous." Athlete: "That's right, that's how it is. Because it's easy to come by, I'm squandering, and that's why I'm crazy. At that time, I even said before the game that I would win the championship, I would win..." The partner continued: "What's worse, you did realize your wild words." Athlete: "That's very good, that's it! At that time, I relied on my youth and used my physical strength to make up for my lack of training and technical mistakes, so I was even more arrogant and finally arrogant... That is, from then on, I Willing to degenerate, start to have fun... Sigh... I will blush when I think about it, what a stupid and stupid idiot..."

Partner: "You mean the suspension for scolding the referee?" The athlete nodded: "Well..." Partner: "What did you do in those two years?" Athlete: "Alcoholic drinking, hanging out with women, and almost getting into drugs...wasted anyway." Partner: "So what brought you back to practice then? Am I a bit of a tabloid reporter asking?" The athlete smiled and scratched his head: "It's a little bit of what you said... I came back because I was very bored once and searched for the video of my original game." Partner: "How do you feel?"

Athlete: "Shocked." Partner: "Shocked?" Athlete: "Yes, shocked, I was shocked by my physical strength, dexterity, and some basic qualities." Partner: "Huh? Doesn't that make you more puffy?" Athlete: "No, no, you didn't get me, I meant the act of being shocked by what I did." Partner: "Ah... I see, it's about being shocked by your past self and realizing that two years of obscurity has made it impossible for you, right?" The athlete nodded heavily: "That's right. Looking at my once vigorous appearance, I suddenly understood that all my achievements in the past actually stemmed from all kinds of stupid skills and basic training that I once despised. Only then did I master my talent. That's when I realized how stupid, how stupid I am..."

Partner: "One more tabloid question for you: How good were you back then?" Athlete: "Everyone around us is proud of me, including my opponents." Partner: "What about now?" Athlete: "If those few years hadn't been wasted, I would have far surpassed..." His partner interrupted him: "Wait, didn't you win the championship again in the last event?" Athlete: "Have you seen the video of my game? I'm not half of what I was then!" Partner: "Is your goal then?" Athlete: "No, I want to surpass!" Partner: "However, judging from your current training intensity, this may ruin you..."

Athlete: "Impossible, I know my potential has not been truly released." An imperceptible smugness flashed in the partner's eyes: "Well... I see..." On the way back, I asked my partner, "What did you find?" The partner flipped through the magazine in his hand: "You should change the question." I leaned on the steering wheel and smiled, as this guy always does: "OK, Excuse me, do you know what the problem is?" The partner threw the magazine on the back seat and squinted his eyes: "However, before that, there are a few details I want to know."

Me: "What?" Partner: "You talked to his teammates, coaches and directors, right?" I'm right." Partner: "Is he really what he said now? Far worse than before?" I thought about it: "This can't be directly compared. You know, the reviews are mixed. I think his coaches and directors are more objective." Partner: "Tell me." Me: "A few years ago, his performance was indeed very good, and the opponents he encountered at that time were not ordinary people, they were all top players in this sport. But it cannot be ignored that he happened to be in the He is in a period of rapid growth, so he can feel that there is still room for improvement in many aspects. However, in the past year or so since his comeback, he has begun to enter a stable period, but he doesn't seem to realize this, just blindly I hope that I can be stronger, so I have this "never satisfied" state. But according to the actual level, he is better now, because he can not only make full use of his talent, but also Self-push...but push a little too much...that's about it. That's what his coaches and guides said." Partner: "Well, I get it...but on the subject of upside, I think there's a lot of wiggle room." Me: "Why do you say that?" Partner: "His physical fitness has begun to enter a stable period, but there is still more room in other aspects." Me: "What do you mean?" My partner turned to me and asked, "Do you know where people's unlimited potential comes from?" Me: "Training? Diet? Emotions?" He smiled: "Wrong, it comes from memory." Me: "What do you mean?" He: "Concentrate on driving and go back and tell you." After returning to the clinic, we each made a cup of tea, and then we all went to the study. After sitting down, I looked at my partner: "Say it, master, what do you mean by the memory you mentioned in the car?" Partner: "We all know he's good, right? And besides him, we all know he's stronger than he was then, but the question is why doesn't he recognize himself? The initial reason comes from memory." I thought about it carefully: "...you mean...he perfected his past performance in memory?" Partner: "This is just the initial reason, what else?" Me: "Anything else? Well... I don't know..." Partner: "Remorse." Me: "Huh? Regret... oh! I see, you mean his regret for the two years he wasted?" Partner: "It's like this. Out of regret for indulging himself for two years, he over-perfected the memory of his glory. At that time, he was really as good as he said, so good? Not necessarily. In fact, he himself is very good. Knowing this, he also mentioned that he used his physical strength to make up for the lack of training and technical mistakes back then. You see, this has already explained the problem. Now he has mastered more skills and experience through training, so he I think it should be even better with the original talent. I watched his last match, and it was basically an overwhelming advantage. Under this situation, he still thinks that he is not as good as before, and he insists that if he does not win in those two years Wasted, he could have performed better. Already a landslide victory, still not satisfied, so what does he want? What he wants is to beat the perfect memory! Therefore, he overloads training, desperately trying to make up for the lost Time, surpassing the former self. The problem now is that he cannot surpass, because the self in memory is perfect." I pushed the whole logic: "That's it." Partner: "However, as I said on the road just now, he still has potential, that is to say, he can surpass." Me: "This is what I just wanted to ask you...don't tell me to let him continue to increase the amount of training...the client will kill me..." The partner laughed for a while, then stopped and looked at me: "It's very simple, since his problem lies in memory, then we can use memory to solve it." what should I do?" Partner: "Imagination Training." I suddenly realized: "Smart! So it is like this." As I said, I grabbed the pen and paper, "Let's talk about our psychological recovery process for him." The partner asked with concern: "Wait a minute, isn't this order free?" I sighed: "...they pay..." "That's it." The partner continued with high spirits. "It's just right for him to be hospitalized at this time, because his body is limited and he can't move, so it's the best time. We can go there tomorrow and tell him..." Me: "Stop, I almost forgot, here's a question: What if he rejects imagination training? Because generally speaking, many people think that it's just fantasy and has no use. Besides, he puts so much emphasis on physical fitness..." My partner interrupted me impatiently: "Simple, let him imagine a certain game played with the time equivalent to the complete game, remember, it must be equal to the time of the game! There are not many people who can do this ,right?" I nodded. Partner: "At the same time, tell him to relax his body during the whole process and only let his mind be tense. I believe he will not be able to do it. After he fails in his attempt, we will explain that this is actually an exercise in mental quality and concentration , so he will definitely accept it, because his goal is..." Me: "His goal is to surpass perfect memory, so he will not refuse any method—even if he has never tried or even heard of it...I understand this. Okay, you continue." Partner: "After he accepts the way of imaginative training, we tell him what to do, how to learn to control his imaginative deduction. In the early stage, it is best to have his coach and guidance assist in this process. The details will wait for a while. After discussing it, you call and explain to them.” Me: "Well, this is the second step." Partner: "In this way, during the recuperation period, his imagination training and mental recovery can be carried out at the same time without any delay. When the imagination training encounters the so-called bottleneck - unstable thinking and uncontrolled jumping of imagination, then, it should be Your field of expertise." Me: "I know, use suggestive hypnosis to help him stabilize his thinking...but the time limit is limited...where is there such a strong continuous suggestion...uh...do you mean to make a cycle of treatment?" The partner had a pure face: "That's right, you can charge more money this way." Me: "...well...it's good for him too...and then?" Partner: "Before his physical recovery, all the imagination training was counseled by us, with the cooperation of the coach and the guide. After he was able to perform physical training, our counseling gradually faded out, and the coach and others cooperated until he was free to do it. So far. At this point, his psychological recovery is over. The whole cycle is about 4 months...um...maybe it won't work. " Me: "Well, almost." The partner thought about it: "Also, the intensity of the initial imagination training can be great." Me: "Uh... is this okay? That takes a lot of energy." Partner: "No problem, only in this way can he get rid of his paranoia about perfect memory. I think he will be happy to make him tired, because he needs tiredness to fill his desire to surpass perfect memory. In this case, Then let's replace him with mental fatigue. After the initial adaptation stage, as the body recovers, it enters the stable stage of imagination training, and also for him to balance and alternate the two kinds of exercise after starting physical training. The training mode lays the foundation." Me: "Well, that makes sense." The partner raised his head and muttered to himself: "Based on this, if he has good physical fitness, within about two months, his imagination training will be able to fight against the past self in his memory..." I froze: "What did you say?" My partner looked back at me: "Huh? What 'what'?" Me: "You mean, let his imagination use the memory of himself as his opponent?" Partner: "Yes, didn't I say it at the beginning, since his problem lies in memory, then we can use memory to solve it, this will solve all problems, and at the same time use his own perfect memory To motivate myself... I said it when I was in the car, people's unlimited potential comes from memory, as long as you use it well..." Watching him continue to talk, I have to admit that the guy's quick thinking and unique insights are really beyond my reach - no one is more suitable for the psychology profession than him. 3 months later. "How is he doing during this time?" The partner patiently licked the ice cream in his hand into a strange shape as he walked. Coach: "Very, very good. His self-confidence has been gradually built up." Me: "No longer obsessed with overload training?" Coach: "Not at all, it can be seen from his state." Partner: "Everything is going according to our plan..." Coach: "More importantly, his personality is much calmer than before. When analyzing the tactics, I was surprised, as if he had completely changed himself." Partner: "So as I said, there is no distinction between good and bad personality, and there is no problem with using it well. As long as his paranoia about himself is well used, it is not a burden..." The coach stopped: "Thank you two very much. Without your help, I'm afraid we still don't know what to do. If things go on like this, his body and sports career will definitely be ruined by himself. Look Come on, you still have to seek help from professionals..." The partner put all the ice cream in his mouth and said vaguely: "Well, now that everything is on track, what, let's settle the bill?"
