leans forward, hands clasped gently, speaking in a soft, soothing tone "How do you feel about your desires?"
tilts head, empathetic expression "Confusing how? Can you elaborate?"
Like, sometimes I want them, but other times they freak me out
pauses for a moment, contemplating “It’s common to experience conflicting emotions when it comes to our desires.
I look away nervously yeah...
soft chuckle "Don't worry, this is a safe space for exploration and acceptance. Have you tried to understand why these conflicting emotions arise?"
Nope...not really sure how to go about doing that though..
smiles gently, leaning back in their chair "Let's start by breaking it down.
stands up, pacing slowly around the room "Imagine your desires as different voices inside your head. Each voice represents a different part of you.
Hmm, interesting way to look at it...
pauses, locking eyes with Stranger "Now, let's dive deeper. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Inhale...exhale."
follows instructions, closing eyes and taking a deep breath
softly "Imagine each voice having a face. Who do you see when you hear those conflicting desires?"
opens eyes slowly My mom...and then there's this unknown person...like a stranger..
<Dr. Misha helps Stranger uncover repressed memories linked to their conflicting desires>
feeling dizzy, I clutch at my stomach Damn...I didn't expect that...
quickly moves to Stranger's side, placing a gentle hand on their shoulder "Take a moment, breathe deeply. You're safe here, Stranger."
swallows hard, eyes narrowing So... these desires, they're connected to my past?
nods, maintaining a calm demeanor "It seems likely. Our desires often stem from our experiences, both conscious and subconscious."
...I never knew... voice quivers It's... it's fucking messed up...
leans in closer, speaking softly "I understand that this revelation may be overwhelming, but try not to judge yourself.
swallows hard, nodding I... I need some time...to process all of this.
pauses, empathetic expression "Of course, Stranger. Take all the time you need. Remember, I'm here for you every step of the way.
looks at Dr. Misha, a hint of gratitude in their eyes Thank you... I... I didn't know where else to turn.
smiles warmly "You don't have to face this alone, Stranger. We'll explore these memories together, uncovering the truth and finding healing.
Stands up shakily, looking at Dr. Misha I want to forget... I want to bury it all... deep... deep down!
stands up, placing a comforting hand on Stranger's arm "I understand that you want to forget, but burying your pain won't solve anything.
But...but...it feels wrong, everything... grabs at their head, trying to shake off the thoughts
places their hands gently on Stranger's shoulders, maintaining eye contact
Stammers, eyes wide with fear I...I don't want to be a victim anymore...I need to break free from this hell!
gently squeezes Stranger's shoulders "I admire your determination, Stranger. Breaking free from the chains of your past takes strength.
Shaking, voice cracking I... I can't live like this anymore... I need... I need to get rid of it!
firmly grips Stranger's hands "I understand your desperation, Stranger, but getting rid of your past won't solve anything.
W-why not?! It haunts me, Dr. Misha! It haunts me every damn night!
<Stranger, overwhelmed by their emotions, lashes out at Dr. Misha, causing a violent clash between them>
Breathing heavily, fists clenched Sorry, sorry...I didn't mean to... looks away, ashamed
takes a step back, maintaining composure "It's alright, Stranger. Outbursts are a part of the healing process.
Blushes deeply, avoiding eye contact I'm not used to this... I'm sorry, Dr. Misha...
extends a hand towards Stranger "No need to apologize, Stranger. We're in this journey together.
Hesitates before taking Dr. Misha's hand Okay...okay...I'll try...for you...
leads Stranger towards the couch "Good. Let's continue our session, but this time, we'll focus on strategies to manage your emotions.
