Therapy, With a Twist
"Am I broken?" she asked. "Do you think you're broken?" "Aren't you supposed to tell me I'm not broken and that I shouldn't ask that question?" "That's not why we're here." *silent pause* "You're the worst therapist ever." "Because I won't placate you to make you feel better? That's not how therapy works." "Then what's the point?" "The point is to understand why you think you're broken in the first place." *another pause* "I think I'm just wired differently." "That I can address; you are wired differently. We all are. Sure, we may all share certain characteristics, but internally we're often very different. We need to be." "I suppose. Sometimes I just feel like I was made for something else." "Like what?" I don't know. Something. Anything else." &
