Is Therapy Working For You

Is the therapy working?
Oh, yes, definitely.
So you feel better?
Not exactly
But you still go?

Of course, I can’t hurt her feelings.
The therapist’s feelings?
She nods her head 'yes'.
And she gets angry when I don’t go.
How do you know that?
She calls and yells at me.

Seriously? And you still go?
For twelve years now.
Why?
I have to go. I don’t want her wrath.
Do you discuss anything with her?
Not really.

So why do you go?
It costs my parents $100 a week.
It’s my way to punish them.
