Neuroticism is experienced by almost everyone to varying degrees throughout the course of a person’s life. For most people, it is only mild, or transient. If someone experiences symptoms frequently, it can cause a lot of mental suffering and even interfere with normal life, which requires treatment. Morita psychotherapy is a uniquely Japanese psychotherapy founded by Japanese scholar Professor Morita Masa in 1920. Its theory is also influenced by our ancient Laozhuang thought. China and Japan belong to the Eastern culture. In recent years, it has been clinically proven in China that Morita therapy is the ideal treatment for neurosis, and it has given a new lease of life to many people suffering from neuroticism. Neurosis and Neuroticism Neurosis is a chronic functional disorder of the mind or body caused by psychiatric factors. Psychogenic factors are the causative factors such as trauma and psychological conflicts. Neuroticism is a part of neurosis. Only neurotic disorder is the best indication for Morita therapy. Neuroticism is mainly manifested by the patient having certain symptoms, which bring suffering and affect the patient’s normal life. The patient has a strong desire to overcome the symptoms and get rid of them. Neurotic symptoms can occur in anyone under certain conditions. For example, speaking for the first time in front of many people, feeling nervous and overwhelmed, or even experiencing terror of people. When you hear someone talking about how scary infectious diseases are, you become nervous and anxious about hepatitis, tuberculosis, and other diseases, and when you see a fire in your neighborhood, you become cautious and repeatedly check if the gas is turned off when you leave your house. Such as these situations, people often have experience. This is especially true for people who are cautious, careful and overly sensitive. It follows that neuroticism arises from a purely psychological effect. The quality of neuroticism is not obviously biased, and if the symptoms are removed, it is possible to adapt to a normal social life. The personality of neuroticism Human beings have two different personalities, namely introvert and extrovert. People who are cheerful, talkative, enthusiastic, sociable, aggressive, bold, agile, and have a strong tendency to point to the objective outside world are extroverted. People with such personality tendencies are less likely to suffer from neuroticism. But not absolutely, there are still a small number of extroverts who suffer from neuroticism. Once a person with this type of personality suffers from neuroticism, his or her temperament becomes cautious. In contrast, introverted personalities are quiet and lonely, unsociable, reserved, contemplative, serious, sensitive, lacking in self-confidence, self-critical, and attribute fault and responsibility to themselves. People with neuroticism mostly belong to the introverted personality. Usually in a happy state of mind, high emotions tend to lean outward. When in a depressed mood, depressed and easily inward. We all experience this in our lives. It means that people with extroverted personality, under the influence of mental factors, can also appear introverted tendencies, and severe punishment can occur neuroticism. It can be said that people in general can develop neuroticism due to some kind of trigger. Neuroticism is a state of psychological conflict. A person has a sense of inferiority, but not enough for this to constitute a neurotic disorder; only a feeling of distress along with a sense of inferiority is a true neurotic disorder. If a person has a fear of a certain disease, this alone cannot be said to be a neurotic disorder. If a person is afraid of illness and feels distressed all the time, this is a neurotic disorder. Patients with social phobia, who are terrified of seeing people and have a sense of inferiority, but are not comfortable with the status quo, are not only a manifestation of an introverted personality, but also a desire to move upward, i.e., they are disgusted with their introversion and want to try to overcome it, but it reinforces the inner conflict and causes distress. They exaggerate their weaknesses, are overly demanding subjectively, and have an extremely strong desire for perfection, while things will always not be perfect, thus causing their own troubles. They are introverted, rational, and always like to do a conscious analysis of their own psychosomatic condition to find the cause of it, and are also prone to feel dissatisfied with themselves. Therefore, the keen receptivity of neurotic people is more likely to produce anxiety and pain. The character of neurotic people determines that they carry out a large variety of artificial processing of the information they receive, which is very likely to cause neurotic symptoms. The psychological counseling department of Qingdao Mental Health Center, Jiang Guilan, has a wide range of neurotic symptoms with various manifestations. List some of the common symptoms. 1, anxiety disorder This is a psychogenic disease, under the action of mental factors. The main symptoms are nervousness, restlessness and anxiety, accompanied by insomnia, headache, palpitations, sweating, breathlessness and other physical symptoms. In some cases, there is usually no discomfort, but anxiety and panic attacks can suddenly appear, with a sudden increase in heart rate, shortness of breath, trembling limbs, chills, and a sense of near death, which often leads to emergency care, but no fault can be found. These are called acute anxiety attacks and can also be called cardiac neurosis. 2, gastrointestinal neurosis mainly manifests as low gastrointestinal function, the intake of food stays in the stomach for a long time, causing stomach discomfort, and some symptoms such as bloating, vomiting, diarrhea and constipation. These people are overly sensitive to their stomach and intestines, and this psychological effect causes significant absorption disorders, resulting in indigestion, weight loss, and increasing weight loss. This symptom is most effective with Morita therapy, and other therapies have little effect, that is, they fail to touch the real cause of the disease. 3, insomnia Mainly refers to neurological insomnia, which belongs to the scope of neurosis. It manifests as difficulty in falling asleep, early sleep, early waking, shallow sleep eyes, easy to wake up and turn dreamy, etc. Patients try to do everything possible to try to line up the obstacles that affect sleep. They are afraid of insomnia and believe that if they do not sleep well, they will definitely be dizzy, mentally weak and unable to work. If they sleep well, all problems can be accomplished successfully. Therefore, sleep becomes the top priority of their concern, constituting the heart disease of the loser. 4, phobia There are many kinds of phobias, some people to people terror, video line terror, barefaced terror, disease terror, unclean terror, sharp terror, imperfect terror, animal terror, etc.. Among them, the highest prevalence of people phobia, patients feel distressed with human contact. Bare-faced terrorists are afraid to see people blush, so they try to avoid and retreat, and are reluctant to interact with people. Sight terrorists, can not look at each other, such as if they meet each other’s eyes, feel that their facial expressions will cause people’s disgust or diagnose their eyes intimidating, unpleasant, and thus worry a lot, unwilling to disease terror dry, for cancer, tuberculosis, infectious diseases, AIDS, mental illness, etc. to produce terror. Because of the fear of germs or cancer cells contamination of the body, the whole day fearful, afraid to touch any object. Unclean terror often occurs simultaneously with disease terror. Whenever a patient touches an object directly, he or she immediately feels dirty and repeatedly washes hands, rinses the body, disinfects clothes, and lives in a state of impurity terror all day long, making it difficult to carry out normal work. In the case of imperfection terror, the patient feels that what he or she is doing is not right, uneasy, and lacks self-confidence. When dealing with everyday things, double-checking, endlessly, so that the efficiency of work is greatly reduced. Some people are afraid of knives, scissors, rope, afraid of hurting others or themselves and avoiding from afar, this type of symptom is also known as guilty terror. 5, obsessive-compulsive disorder people have such experiences, always check the doors and windows closed when you go out; before casting a letter to see if the envelope is glued once again, the occasional occurrence of the above phenomena, and can not be considered pathological. If you are haunted by these recurring ideas or behaviors all day long, knowing that they are unnecessary, but still unable to control them and distressed by them, this is a pathological state. OCD is mainly characterized by obsessive-compulsive thoughts and actions. People with obsessive-compulsive ideas often repeatedly think about a problem that causes no real meaning, tracing the root cause. For example, “What came first, the chicken or the egg?”” What is the realm beyond the Milky Way?” …… The associations are never-ending. People with obsessive-compulsive behavior are those whose main symptom is the repeated and persistent occurrence of compulsive actions. These actions come from within the person’s mind, but they do not arise involuntarily. They know that these actions are irrational and make great efforts to suppress them, but they cannot get rid of them, so they feel pain. For example, a woman standing on the lanai always wants to throw the child in her arms downstairs; some go to Wangfujing Street and can’t help but count the windows of the department store, over and over and over again, unable to control themselves, all day long, anxiety, which has a great impact on work and study. 6, occupational spasms Some people write or specialize in special occupations when operating, there is often finger trembling, tremor phenomenon, can not write the word or accurately complete the action, which is a type of neurotic symptoms. The patient suffers from the inability to write due to the spasm of writing collection. It is obvious that musicians can not play, dancers can not dance, painters can not paint, what a pity. 7, inferiority complex Morita called inferiority complex as inferiority complex. This is a lack of self-confidence, feeling inferior, so they can not play their own abilities, and therefore deeply annoyed. In fact, having a sense of inferiority is itself a manifestation of a strong sense of enterprise. Professor Takara Takahisa points out that people with a sense of inferiority only have this symptom because they are too demanding. 8. Other symptoms There are many different kinds of neurotic symptoms. For example, they may not be able to concentrate because they see people and objects with squinting eyes; they may not be able to study because their nose becomes an obstacle to their vision; they may be afraid to walk because they are afraid of dizziness; they may feel fatigue (hyper fatigue) in a short period of time and may not be able to continue their work; they may have headache, head sinking, and mental confusion without pathology, etc. The symptoms of neuroticism are further explained by an example. Case Male, 25 years old, buyer Self-report: “One afternoon, I suddenly felt a blockage in my chest on the street, unable to lift my breath, and felt panic and shortness of breath for a while, so I couldn’t help myself and had to go to the toilet to defecate. After defecating, I felt weak, my limbs were limp, I couldn’t stand up, I was sweating, my mouth was dry, and I had hiccups. The symptoms lasted for about 30 to 60 minutes. These symptoms were relieved only after resting in place. Since then, when I went out alone, I was very nervous and repeatedly went to the toilet to pass stool. Insomnia and dreaminess at night and lack of energy during the day. Dizziness, no appetite, fear of boredom, fear of potential, incomplete urination, always a sense of insecurity, want to concentrate on writing something, but reading and watching TV also feel dizzy, can not do anything well. I have been to many hospitals for various tests, all said there is no problem. I took many kinds of Chinese and Western medicines, but they did not help. I was always living in pain. Since I received Morita therapy, my symptoms have miraculously disappeared. I thanked Morita therapy from my heart for rescuing me from the pain leather ……. This is a typical case of anxiety neurosis. People have the ability to protect themselves. It is well known that it is precisely because of the fear of getting a disease that hygiene, washing hands before and after meals, sterilizing utensils, vaccinations, physical examinations, etc. are practiced. Therefore, some degree of fear of disease is necessary for human survival. Having a certain degree of insecurity is also a protective mechanism. People worry about the gas gate being left open and repeatedly check it carefully, which is necessary for safety, so some degree of forced inspection is beneficial to people. If people do not have any sickness terror, then it does not matter if they live in a garbage dump. As Japanese psychiatrist Professor Takara Takahisa said in his book “The Practice of Morita Psychotherapy”, “If there were no terror, people would live in a pigsty with peace of mind. Similarly, if there were no compulsive examination, there is no telling how many times major catastrophic accidents would have happened in the world. Therefore, people have a certain degree of insecurity or the terror of disease is beneficial to human survival. In addition, people have a certain degree of insecurity, fear, worry, and doubt that is necessary for human survival. For example, people worry about the flooding of dikes, advance repair; crossing the road for fear of being hit by an oncoming rush of cars, looking for safe areas to dodge ……. Although these psychological phenomena make people unpleasant, if they lose these psychological processes, they lose their vigilance and defenses, and therefore will suffer misfortune. For these unpleasant yet necessary psychological phenomena, think that there should not be, trying to deny it, the result is bound to make the normal psychological phenomena have a reverse effect, the formation of psychological conflict, which can eventually lead to neurotic symptoms. People have had the experience of: always check the doors and windows closed when you go out; before dropping the letter to see if the letterhead and envelope are glued; when going upstairs to count the number of steps …… in our lives, the occasional occurrence of the above phenomena, and can not be considered pathological. If you are haunted by these recurring ideas all day long, knowing that they are unnecessary, but still unable to get rid of them, and are distressed by them, then it is a pathology. The appearance of these symptoms is the same as if they were normal. The following is a case of a neurotic patient’s self-report: “I am 50 years old, I did not have any disease before, I did not have a cold for several years in a row, and I have never encountered any difficulties or setbacks in my life. Always feel that there is inexhaustible energy in my body, and often work overtime without rest. My health is so good and my spirit is so strong because I usually take good care of my health. However, once I went to visit an old friend who had stomach cancer and had been bedridden for a long time. After returning home, I felt a sense of depression. When I woke up at night, I suddenly felt panic and nausea, and I had the feeling that I was going to die immediately. During the day, I was so scared that I felt I had cancer cells on my hands, so I kept rinsing them with water, disinfecting them with lysol, and scrubbing the dishes with alcohol before eating, endlessly. Whenever I read or write, I felt uncomfortable. I thought I had a tumor in my eyes or brain, and had a CT scan of my eyes and brain, but no abnormalities were found. When I heard people talking about cancer and even saw the word cancer in the newspaper, I panicked and was in great pain. After many treatments, I did not see any improvement, but the treatment became more and more severe. By chance, I met a psychiatrist who said that I was suffering from “neurosis”. After receiving Morita therapy, my symptoms miraculously disappeared. It was incredible.” Letting nature take its course is the principle of treatment for neuroticism advocated by Professor Masa Morita and his descendants. There is a type of social phobic person who is afraid of meeting people and does not know what to do, and it is difficult to eliminate such symptoms after they have developed. For example, in the case of a disease phobic, the compulsive washing of hands repeatedly throughout the day is a compulsive action that cannot be controlled by the power of the will. If the will is forced to control it, negative psychological phenomena are bound to occur. If you forcibly control it with your will power, negative psychological phenomena are bound to occur, which will not only not eliminate the symptoms, but also worsen them. The only way to accept the appearance of symptoms is to follow the nature. If you are afraid of seeing people, let them be afraid, and you cannot overcome fear without going through the ordeal of fear. Even if you are afraid, you can let it go completely without avoiding it. It has been proven that by doing so, the inner conflict will in turn relax. People are motivated and have the desire to live. According to Japanese scholar Professor Takara Takehisa, this desire is stronger in neurotic people, and symptoms appear when its intensity exceeds the limit. If you pay too much attention to your health, you will have the terror of disease. On the contrary, people who are full of care about their health do not care about disease terror disease terror or death terror. Those who are overly perfect are prone to compulsive checking, unsure of what they have done and repeatedly checking. And people who do things sloppily and do not consider the consequences, it does not matter repeatedly check …… so on and so forth. People will make their own efforts to satisfy the desire to be born, and conformity to nature is an important aspect of such efforts. Behavior affects character, and only practical action can mobilize one’s full consciousness. Practical action is the most direct facilitator of improving one’s ability to adapt to life. One can only experience confidence if one actually acts. For example, people who see people phobia, not to avoid people, but with the psychology of terror and contact with people; forced hand washing people, there is the emergence of the urge to wash their hands, but still try to stick to normal work. Only then can they live like normal people. People with neuroticism are afraid to face the symptoms and avoid the pain. They do not go out because they are afraid of the disease; they avoid crowds because of the horror of seeing people; they do not work because of the horror of insomnia …… All these phenomena are an escape from pain. By adopting this attitude, the patient can never be liberated from the pain. So what is the right approach? Mr. Morita has a famous saying, “Suffer the pain and do what you have to do.” This should be the rule of life for neurotic patients. The uncleanliness phobic fears uncleanliness, but at the same time insists on cleaning; the insomnia phobic endures pain and insists on daily work. Patients endure all the pain while doing what they should do, so that they can unknowingly get the experience of self-confidence. Once this self-confidence is experienced, one will comprehend one’s symptoms, which are actually the product of subjective fabrication. At the same time, the strengths of the character of the neurotic patient such as conscientiousness, diligence and strength of character can be developed through the pottery of character, which can play a positive role in the treatment. People must face reality in order to correctly understand objective things. Objective reality and subjective wishes are not exactly the same, and sometimes completely contrary to the wishes, therefore, we must soberly admit the facts. People with neurotic disorders are unable to deal with objective reality correctly; they extend their ideals and desires to the completely impossible. It is common for people to feel frightened in full view of the public, and we should face this fact and not resist it, even if we feel uneasy, so that we do not develop symptoms. If we resist it and do not accept the fact, we will have a psychological disorder. Just as when someone strives for absolute cleanliness, the result is the terror of impurity. If we take the attitude of nature and obey the objective things positively, the situation will be different. Since the neurotic cannot be relieved of his suffering, he will simply accept it. When the pain is so extreme that the person feels powerless to resist it, the psychological conflict breaks through and the pain is reduced. People with neuroticism fixate on their symptoms and do not easily shift them. For the patients themselves, they try to divert their attention from their symptoms, but the more they try to get rid of them, the more their attention becomes fixed on them. In this regard, it is important to emphasize the importance of adhering to a natural attitude. In this regard, it is still important to emphasize the importance of adhering to a natural attitude. For people with obsessive-compulsive thinking, if distractions keep appearing while reading, then insist on reading with distractions, so that the distractions are reduced, because they are invariably focused on the book. In short, the more a person with neurotic disorder tries to get rid of the symptoms and avoid the pain, the more internal conflicts will be aggravated and the distress will be deepened. Therefore, it is important to maintain the status quo, not to avoid it, and to try to do what should be done. This natural attitude is essential to the treatment of neurotic disorders. Dr. Takara Takahisa, while conducting Morita therapy, also prescribes a Morita-style attitude toward life, which will be of great benefit in implementing Morita therapy and promoting improvements in healing. I. Correct appearance A perfect appearance is linked to a perfect mind. To be well-dressed is to be strong-willed. In order to revitalize the spirit and renew the mood, the first step is to correct the appearance. A person who is not well-dressed, living a lazy and messy life, it is hard to believe that he is a strong-willed person. Therefore, in order to get rid of the inner pain and anxiety, the first thing you need to do is to correct your appearance, so that your will is naturally strong. To maintain a fulfilling life, people must develop the habit of working. To feel self, not doing things psychologically is not solid. People generally have to be upwardly aggressive, and constantly achieve through creative work, and then only afterwards can they achieve results. For example, farmers shed their hard work and sweat, and get the joy of harvest after autumn, from which they learn the meaning of life. People suffering from pain also increase their confidence in their work and reduce their pain. For people with neuroticism who are excessively introverted, they can gradually move toward extroversion by actively working. Dr. Takara Takahisa points out that the best way to extrovert is to engage in some kind of work, even if it is something difficult to do, and force yourself to do it. Third, do not take a long break from work Neuroticism patients should not take a long break from work. Long-term recuperation is harmful and unhelpful. Patients with neurotic disorders have a strong motivation. They want to get rid of the symptoms, but also in order to be able to get a stronger work capacity. Keeping patients from working for a long time can make them feel incapacitated, which may name the symptoms more and more severe. In fact, there is nothing wrong with the body of a person with neuroticism at all. Insisting that they rest will make the patient feel seriously ill, which makes it difficult to extricate themselves from the idea of illness. Fourth, to face reality There is a kind of people, when going to do something reluctant, will find some excuse to avoid as much as possible. On the contrary, when it comes to doing something of great interest, although there are difficulties, but also ideas to achieve. People who want to avoid the troubles of real life are often subject to rational self-condemnation and, of course, use various excuses to masturbate. They use illness as an excuse to escape from reality, for which they feel the harshness of reality and the pain of illness even more. They do everything to indicate: I am sick. This makes treatment very difficult and is an important factor in the difficulty of healing. The correct attitude should be: do not use the disease as an excuse to escape from reality. V. Do not be a perfectionist People with neurotic disorders are often perfectionists. They have an extremely strong desire to work, but they do not have to accept the price paid for work. They hold themselves to the standard of the smoothest state, which in fact is simply unattainable. Reality runs counter to hope, and the result is in a contradiction between a perfect ideal and an imperfect reality. In fact, the absolute ideal is in contradiction with the imperfect reality. In fact, absolute perfection does not exist. The right attitude is: not to be a perfectionist. According to Dr. Masa Morita, neurotic people generally have a sense of inferiority. The so-called sense of inferiority, that is, the equivalent of inferiority complex. They feel inferior to others everywhere, do not have the self-confidence, the result is nothing Takara Takahisa Professor believes that: “Many things do not necessarily have to wait until after the self-confidence to do, self-confidence is generated in the effort. It is absurd for someone to think that he can work only after he has self-confidence, just as it is absurd for a person to learn how to swim after he has learned how to swim. “It is absurd to think that one can only work after having self-confidence. Only when there is a hope of success through one’s own efforts can one take action. For people who have a sense of inferiority, lack self-confidence, hesitate to do things, think twice, and are trapped in the shackles of perfection, this will lead to nothing. The correct attitude should be: to enhance self-confidence, courage to forge ahead, through practical action to complete the purpose to be achieved. Seven, do not rush people encounter grief and sorrow, such as the death of a loved one, the fluctuations in their emotions, it is difficult to eliminate in a short period of time, so that people often indulge in painful memories. However, the more people try to eliminate the pain, the more they will not be able to do so, which means that they actually want to make the impossible possible and are bound to fall into a psychological conflict. Dr. Takara Takahisa advocates, “Since we cannot forget about the past, we should not force it out of our minds, but should actively go about the work we need to do in our daily lives with such thoughts, so that unconsciously such thoughts will gradually fade to complete disappearance, and even if they do not disappear completely, they will no longer seriously tug at our feelings.” Obviously, it is not possible to escape from the reality of suffering. We can only let nature take its course and try to devote ourselves to work and study. As time passes, the pain and sorrow will naturally disappear. The main point of Morita therapy is to cultivate the quality of suspicion and break the mental interaction, and mere reasoning is not effective. Just as a person who is terrified of seeing people realizes from reason that there is nothing to be afraid of, he or she still feels fearful and unnatural after seeing people, and avoids contact with them as much as possible. Therefore, rational understanding alone is not enough, but emotional experience is necessary to make changes. Professor Morita proposes to “follow the nature” and ignore the symptoms, but the symptoms gradually subside. Therefore, if the patient is not persuaded to go with nature, and if he or she allows the distress to reach its peak, the distress will no longer be felt. The specific method is to accept the symptoms unconditionally, not to exclude the symptoms, to fully realize the resistance to the symptoms, on the one hand, to do what should be done with the symptoms, and to work and study like normal people. For patients who are terrified of seeing people, who feel fear and unnatural expressions, let them be unnatural and fearful, and do what they should do at the same time. In this regard, if we persist, we will naturally release the subjective and objective contradictions and conflicts, and eliminate the mental interaction, and the symptoms will be reduced and eliminated. Morita therapy follows the principle of “follow the nature”, which seems to be very simple. However, it is not that easy to understand the therapeutic effect. Especially in the case of more severe neurological patients, it is impossible for them to “go with the flow” and ignore and resist the symptoms that cause their suffering. Inpatient treatment creates a specific therapeutic environment in which to gain understanding and positive life experiences under the guidance of a physician. The inpatient treatment process is divided into four phases: absolute bed rest, light work, heavy work and life training. Among them, the absolute bed rest period is crucial and will be introduced separately. In recent years, with the promotion of Morita therapy, outpatient treatment has been gradually introduced in addition to inpatient treatment. Outpatient treatment emphasizes the role of verbal guidance and requires patients to accept their naturally surfaced thoughts and feelings as they are, experience their distress, exclude pure thoughts and feelings, and move toward real life. One outpatient conversation lasts about half an hour, and the patient is seen once a week for 3-5 months as a course of treatment. After the treatment, the patient gets comprehension, and the treatment effect is achieved and terminated. The main indications for outpatient Morita therapy are: anxiety disorders, hypochondria, obsessive-compulsive disorders, phobias, plant nervous disorders, gastrointestinal neuroses and other types of neuroses (except hysteria). This therapy is suitable for those who urgently seek medical attention and have a desire for treatment. Patients with neurosis are mostly egocentric and introverted, with considerable psychological fixation content. In the treatment, it is necessary to follow the doctor’s instructions, to put them in a submissive position, not to think about whether the cure is good or not, and to gradually and slowly open the way to comprehension through the treatment procedure. During the treatment, the patient is asked to read books on Morita therapy, which have been translated into Chinese: The Essence and Treatment of Neuroticism (by Masa Morita), Morita Psychotherapy Practice (by Takara Takehisa) Morita Therapy and New Morita Therapy (by Kenshirou Ohara). In the implementation of this therapy, the patient should keep a diary and submit it to the doctor for reading regularly. The doctor will analyze, guide and support the patient thoroughly through the diary. This will certainly have a considerable impact on the treatment results. The principle of treatment for outpatient Morita therapy is that the patient should first understand the nature of the symptoms and make it clear that the patient’s feelings are functional disorders. The patient should accept the symptoms as they are, even if they are painful, and go about daily life, work, and study with the “symptoms”, i.e., “stay as you are”. In this way, the patient naturally shifts his or her attention to the state of unconscious attention, and the “pain” disappears or diminishes in consciousness. Mr. Morita pointed out that “whatever is natural is real” and instructed patients to not care about any thoughts or emotions that come up or any problems that they consider, and that the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful are of no value. It is important to recognize that this is the natural state of human mind. The “original mind” of human beings is introduced into the state of self-awareness. After fully realizing this truth, you should start by dealing with things around you, and try to do everything you can do by yourself. This is the best way to break away from oneself and turn to the outside. As Mr. Morita said, “If you want to make up your mind, you should first make up your body.” The important thing is to take action, and once you enter into action, your mind will also tend to conform to the form. Secondly, the patient should be instructed not to put the symptoms on the lips, and to talk about them so often that they will naturally “fix their attention on them” and suffer. When one is wrong, one should explain in order to rationalize, and when the other person misunderstands or does not fully understand, one should explain the actual situation. For patients, explanations are allowed, but not explanations. Finally, the patient is instructed to face reality and to face life. Realize a reality-based view of life and strive for a reality-based life. Outpatient Morita therapy also involves obtaining the cooperation of the family, who should not talk to the patient about the disease or treat them as a patient, which is beneficial for the patient to comprehend early.
