FYI; this is written funny because it is suppose to be a print out of a recorded psychologist appointment. Doctors often do this to help prevent a patient going back on their word or for many other legal reasons. Enjoy! -

Dr; "so tell me why again you don't want your mother to hear our recorded sessions?"
PT; "my mother thinks I'm a loner. You know a freak who no one talks to or cares about?...well maybe I should explain why I believe she thinks this way?...Her total wardrobe is what every Martha Stewart worshiper has. Khaki pants, light pastel collard tees and an occasional white sweater to wrap around her shoulders!... Our family car is a mini van, that she keeps pristine looking 24/7. It's like she has no creative mind or will of her own! Its frustrating at times, when I talk to her about my paintings…"
Dr; "you paint? ( Yeah ) that's wonderful! Sorry please continue, your doing great"
Pt; " thanks…Anyway when I try to explain my muses…the things that inspired me to paint whatever it is I'm showing to her…(oh okay ) she looks back at me like a puppy does when you yell at it. Like I'm talking to a brick wall!
Dr; " so you think your mother doesn't view you as normal because she can't understand your creativity? Or just you, your person, your mind frame?"
Pt; " not so much my creativity but…it's like she can't comprehend I find it okay to be different and to express my feelings or ideas or even my own personal interests. Sometimes I think that she doesn't really show much interest in my life because I'm not perfect or want to be perceived as perfect…I truthfully don't care what other people think about me! She, she cares almost too much! I wonder sometimes if she is afraid to show her true self to the world…or even if she has a personality tucked away somewhere inside her that cant be molded to what others want it to be.
Dr; " past rejection maybe? She created a facade to project that she was perfect in order to be accepted."
Pt; " rejected by who? Grandma and Grandpa spoiled her almost rotten when she was a child. ( Was she the only or the youngest?) Only…and dad went out and did all this wonderfully romantic stuff just to prove to her that he was worth dating. High school sweet hearts for years, same collage and after graduation their wedding. She never dated before dad…he he was her first kiss…high pitched nasally tone ' I was a virgin all through high school and college!' My mom had 'the talk' with me a year or so back and gave me all these depressing details about their mushy relationship…"
Dr; " I think it would be great to find your future husband in high school!....do you think otherwise?"
Pt; " yeah it'd be great…but it's not like that'll ever happen. (Why not?) I've never had a decent boyfriend, nonetheless a guy who said he loved me, or lied about loving once in my whole life…even a lie would be comforting at least for a little while.
Dr; " oh I get it now…you think that if you don't find the love of your life in high school like your parents that you'll be alone forever? Am I right?"
( Long moment of silence )
Pt; "…now that you said that and I think about what I tell myself when I feel hopelessly alone…I do, subconsciencly mostly but yeah a small part of me does think that."
Dr; " well unfortunately we are out of time, well we were about 5 or 10 minutes ago. (Both laugh) you did exceptionally well considering this is your first appointment…
( Thank you ) you're welcome! And I'm going to stop the recording n..."
End of recorded session.
