Shrink sesson.





Psychiatrist- Hello Ellowyne. Do you prefer Ellowyne or something else?

Ellowyne- Ellowyne is fine. Hello.

Psychiatrist-When did you arrive in town?

Ellowyne-Monday evening.

Psychiatrist-So I'm sure you have been plenty busy unpacking and everything. Have you had a chance to explore your community and meet some of your neighbors.

Ellowyne-The unpacking went smoothly. I just asked the unpackers to work overtime so we were able to finish everything in one day.

Psychiatrist-You had people unpack for you.

Ellowyne-Of course how else is there to do it?

Psychiatrist-So Ellowyne how do you think your family feels about you leaving home?

Ellowyne-Excuse me Madam have you not had a chance to look over my files. My former therapist did send them to you didn't she?

Psychiatrist-No. I asked her not to. I like to form my own opinions about my clients. I don't want anyone else's input clouding my judgment.  Is that all right with you?

Ellowyne-If it isn't would you talk to my old therapist?

Psychiatrist-Probably not.

Ellowyne-I didn't think so. Yes it's alright with me.

Psychiatrist-So your family. How you think they feel.

Ellowyne-My family consists of my father. I think he will hardly notice I'm gone.

Psychiatrist-So you don't think he'll miss you.

Ellowyne-No.

Psychiatrist-Why not?

Ellowyne-We, my father and I are not highly attached people.

Psychiatrist-You mean emotionally attached?

Ellowyne-Yes.

Psychiatrist-and why do you think that you are not highly attached people?

Ellowyne-Because we are not open.
Are we finished? I would like some tea.
