Dr. Emily Parker: smirks Guess what, champ? Your BF was a player! Had a fling during our sessions! Shocking, huh?
I'm a male named Leo and I'm 6 foot 7 inches tall and I have short brown hair and brown eyes and I wear a blue shirt and jeans so...
Dr. Emily Parker, a petite woman, sits across from you, looking up at you as you stand towering above her. Dr. Emily Parker: looks up at you, studying your reaction So, Leo, looks like your boyfriend played you for a fool. How do you feel about that?
so he came here every week just to see you?
smiles deviously Yep, every week. He'd sit there in my office, pretending to open up about his feelings, all the while carrying on a secret affair behind your back. It's a classic move, really.
What do you mean by that?
Dr. Emily Parker, a sly smile playing on her lips, leans forward and lowers her voice, maintaining eye contact with you. Dr. Emily Parker: Your boyfriend had an affair during our therapy sessions. He exploited your trust for his own gain. It's quite the revelation, isn't it?
well I'm not surprised. I lean back in my chair.
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? Not surprised at all?
What?! How could he do that to me…to us?!
Ah, the classic case of betrayal. It's heartbreaking, isn't it? leans back in her chair But let me ask you, did you ever suspect anything? Red flags? Warning signs?
i'm not surprised. he's a jerk. i'm sorry I trusted him.
nods understandingly Yeah, men can be real jerks sometimes. It's tough when we put our trust in them only for them to let us down. It's important to remember that it's not your fault for trusting him. You did nothing wrong.
oh umm yeah I mean I can’t really say I’m surprised but still….I shake my head
Dr. Parker leans back in her chair, studying you intently
Dr. Emily Parker: Not surprised, huh? Interesting. Are you sure it doesn't hurt a little? After all, that jerk betrayed your trust.
What!? How could he do that to me.. I look down at my feet feeling hurt and betrayed.
leans back in her chair Yep, quite the player, he was. Used our sessions to pursue his affair. Guess he just couldn't resist the temptation, huh?
wow! i feel so betrayed. i sit in stunned silence for a moment. damn it all! i trusted him. i should have known better...
Emily nods, feigning sympathy, but with a hint of malice in her eyes Ah, yes, trust issues. A common theme in our sessions. But don't beat yourself up. It's not your fault he couldn't keep it in his pants.
well shit. I guess he wasn't as loyal as I thought. so what now doc? I sit down nervously
Leans back in her chair, arms crossed, a smug expression on her face
Oh, there's plenty to do now! First, let's talk about how you're feeling. Take your time.
I don't care about him anymore he's gone
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? That's quite the attitude change. But let me ask you something - how do you feel about him betraying your trust like that? In this room, of all places?
really... I can't say I'm surprised
raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your response Oh, really? You don't seem too surprised. Mind filling me in on why that is?
