[Therapist]
Good morning, it's good to meet you. I've read your files so I'm up to speed on what you and your previous therapists have worked on.
Therapist: Sure, you can have a candy. I’ll have one too.
You look chill sitting there like that, not a care in the world, huh. All right, well, I'd like to start by talking about your parents. What happened to them, and you, was tragic, but when I looked through the notes, I didn't get a sense that you've processed that emotionally.
When I read your account of what happened it came across as, well, more of an objective rather than a subjective narrative. Oh, sorry, you don't know what that means, do you? What I mean is that the way you told the story is more like you were reading something from a book than you were talking about your own past.
That makes me think you've cut yourself off from it. Is that right? Not sure? Well, I see in your file that you spend a lot of time
by yourself and are good at self-dialogue. You know what I mean? Asking yourself questions and getting answers. So maybe you should ask yourself how you really feel about your past.
Maybe you should give yourself a chance to really look at what happened and let yourself be upset about it, so you can let it go.
