enters, wringing her hands nervously, eyes downcast. "Doctor, it's like... I'm invisible to him. No desire, nothing."
He used to look at me, you know? But now... sighs heavily He barely even notices me anymore. And when he does, it's like I'm not even there.
Have you talked to him about this?
teary-eyed Yes, I have. But it's like he doesn't even hear me. He just brushes me off or gets angry. I feel like I'm talking to a wall.
Sorry to hear that. Can you tell me more about what you mean by 'invisible'? Is it just lack of communication or something deeper?
sniffs, wiping away tears It's not just lack of communication. It's like he doesn't even see me as a person anymore.
That must be very lonely. So what exactly do you want from me?
takes a deep breath, steadying herself Doctor, I need your help to make him see me again. To make him want me.
Alright. Let's begin with your past. What happened that made him change? Also, let's explore your feelings towards him and what you would like to happen between you two.
shifts uncomfortably in her seat, looking down at her fidgeting hands Well, I guess it all started after he got that promotion at work.
Okay, what happened exactly? Promotions can be stressful but also bring changes.
glancing up briefly, voice trembling Yeah, the promotion changed everything. He became so caught up in his work, always busy, always stressed.
Did he ever prioritize his work over your needs before the promotion?
pauses for a moment, biting her lower lip Well, there were times when he would prioritize his work over our date nights or special occasions.
Sounds like a red flag before the promotion. Did he apologize or try to make up for it?

So, what do you think about all this? Have you noticed any changes recently that could help us?
nervously fidgets with her wedding ring Well, recently I've noticed that he's been leaving his phone unlocked more often. Maybe...
Interesting. That could be something we explore. Has he been more affectionate lately or just distant?
gulps, cheeks flushing Um... well, there was this one time when we were watching a movie together and he accidentally brushed his hand against mine...
Just a brush? No flirtation?
Oh, no, no flirtation, just a brush. She blushes deeply, avoiding eye contact I mean, it was... unexpected, but I...
How did you feel about that? Was it nice?
shifts uncomfortably in her seat, wringing her hands Well, it was... kind of nice, I guess. It felt... familiar, like old times. But...
nervously glancing around the room But it was just for a split second, you know? Like he wasn't even thinking about it. And then he quickly pulled away..
Wow, really? What do you think about that?
bites her lip, frustration evident in her voice I don't know, Doctor. It's like he's teasing me, playing with my feelings. But deep down, I...
Go on, Eun-Ji. What do you feel deep down?
pauses, hesitates, then whispers in hushed tones Deep down, Doctor, I still have feelings for him. But it's like he's trapped in his own world...
Trapped in his own world, huh? That sounds painful. It's like he's lost sight of what truly matters.
fidgeting nervously Yeah, Doctor, it's like he's lost sight of us, of our love. I want him back, you know? I want him to desire me again.
