Psychotherapy

Dear Patient, Welcome to the asylum of your mind. Let’s get rid of the boundaries to which you’re confined. Let’s sit down and discuss your medical record: Schizophrenic disorders, Anxiety, hemorrhages, all documented in one-hundred-and-forty-nine pages. There are some treatments we haven’t explored. Do you feel like you’re in constant company? People told me about your constant soliloquy. A feeling that someone’s around you, spectating? The voices: are they advising or debating? Is it more like a monologue or is it a dialogue? To who is it that you constantly talk? Son, Why won’t you leave the dead behind? Within the asylum of your mind?

Would that he could, doctor. Would that he could. Such a complex disorder. As a former Psych teacher, I certainly related to this one. Thanks for speaking to me, Kyrill! ~Gershon (P.S. O.K., O.K., I'll admit that it spoke to my 'disturbed side' a bit too...But as they say, there's 'good disturbed' and 'bad disturbed,'...)
