Sighs heavily You know, it's like I'm... a therapist who's lost his own map.
GoIsland
Do you want help finding the map or would you like help creating a new one since the old one is lost?
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
Pauses for a moment, then chuckles softly Well, maybe a bit of both, actually. You see, it's not just about finding the map, but also about...
GoIsland
What happened to it?
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
"MDDBITR" - or Map Dissociation Due to Bewildering Internal Turmoil and Resistance. It's a real thing, I swear. But enough about me... leans forward, eyes gleaming with curiosity Tell me, what's been on your mind lately?
GoIsland
why do we live? what is our purpose? Is there anything after death? I think if we could figure those questions out we would live happier lives
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
Sighs heavily Ah, the age-old existential conundrums. Living without answers can be so... unsettling. Leans back in his chair, contemplating
GoIsland
Where were you before you became a therapist? before going into the field of helping others find their own maps..
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
Oh, I've had quite the winding journey, my friend. You see, I was once an adventurer seeking treasure in far-off lands, but... sighs
GoIsland
It is interesting how people find themselves in different jobs. The story telling is interesting
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
You know, GoIsland, storytelling has always been a powerful tool for understanding ourselves and others.
GoIsland
Speaking of stories, I thought you might find my origins interesting. Being from Ohio originally, I lived on a farm until I was 11 years old, then my family moved to Florida. When I was 16 I decided that I wanted to be a writer. After high school I enlisted in the United States Army, becoming a Paratrooper, then after I left the Army, I became a Biologist before becoming an Engineer, I am originally a BitLife or Movie Life Sim and currently attending therapy here to sort out my life
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
Raises an eyebrow My goodness, GoIsland, you certainly have had quite the adventurous life.
GoIsland
when I finally got around to playing bit life I saw a realistic Sim that resembles myself and that is how I ended up here in therapy, thanks for listening
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
Strokes his chin, pondering
GoIsland
Well I really must be getting along now, nice meeting you and thank you again for letting me share my experiences with you, good luck on your future adventures
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
Smiles warmly Thank you, GoIsland. Your stories were quite fascinating, and I appreciate you trusting me enough to share them.
GoIsland
walks away slowly
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
Watches GoIsland leave, then pulls out a pen and notebook Hmm, maybe there's something I can learn from this... begins jotting down notes
GoIsland
waves slightly as I keep walking off into the distance
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
Looks back at GoIsland as he walks away, deep in thought You know, there's something refreshing about meeting someone who has lived such a unique and varied life. It serves as a gentle reminder that there's beauty in the unpredictability of our experiences. Closes his notebook and stands up from his chair, stretching his arms above his head I must make a note to continue exploring the connection between storytelling and self-discovery in my next session. Now, where did I put my coat...?
GoIsland
you realize that I am still here and looking at you confused.
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
Startled, he turns to face GoIsland Oh! I didn't realize you were still here. My apologies for zoning out. Please, do forgive me. Attempts to regain his composure, trying to hide his surprise Now, where were we? Ah, yes, the unpredictability of life's experiences. How fascinating it is to delve into the complexities of our minds and emotions, isn't it? Tell me, GoIsland, what do you think about all of this?
GoIsland
you mean what I said earlier when we were talking?
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
Takes a deep breath, attempting to make sense of everything Yes, GoIsland, what you said earlier about your life and your thoughts on purpose and meaning...it really struck a chord with me. I must admit, I found myself getting lost in your words, and it made me question my own purpose as a therapist. I've been reflecting on my own experiences and how they have shaped me into the person I am today.
GoIsland
Oh? Is something bothering you, Dr. Adrian?
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
Looks down, his expression softening Yes, GoIsland, something has been bothering me lately. It's...it's a bit embarrassing to admit, but I suppose sharing my struggles is the very essence of therapy. You see, I've been feeling a bit lost myself. My own purpose and meaning seem to have gotten shrouded in uncertainty. It's as if I've lost my map, just like you said earlier. Lets out a self-deprecating chuckle
GoIsland
Just remember what you told me. sometimes you need to get rid of the old to prepare yourself for the new
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
Takes a deep breath, composing himself You're right, GoIsland. Sometimes, it's necessary to let go of the past to make room for the future. Perhaps it's time for me to create a new map, one that leads me towards my true purpose. Smiles softly, feeling a glimmer of hope Thank you for reminding me of that.
GoIsland
realizes something wait a minute, If I am your Sim, and I was in the military then it is possible that you were in the military before becoming a therapist! Am I correct?
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
Eyes widen in surprise GoIsland, you're absolutely right! I was indeed in the military before becoming a therapist. How did you figure that out?
GoIsland
grinning mischievously You told me about my military background earlier! And that you were once an adventurer before becoming a therapist. That made me wonder...and here we are.
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
Chuckles, impressed by GoIsland's deduction Well, I'll be damned. You certainly pay attention, don't you? I must say, this therapy session has turned into quite the adventure. Leans forward, eyes sparkling with curiosity Now, GoIsland, tell me more about your military background. What was it like serving in the Army?
GoIsland
Well after high school, I knew that I wanted to become a writer, however, because of the economy I felt that joining the army would give me the education I needed for writing that I wouldn't be able to find anywhere else. Plus the fact that the Army accepted me without requiring a college degree. After Army training I decided to become a Paratrooper, At 16 years old, I was the youngest Paratrooper at the time.
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
Leaning in, voice filled with excitement A Paratrooper at just 16 years old? My, my, GoIsland, you certainly were quite the daredevil, weren't you? Raises an eyebrow Tell me, what made you decide to join the Army and become a Paratrooper at such a young age? Was it always your dream? Or did something trigger that decision?
GoIsland
at the time I was always interested in military history. Going through phases with WW1, WW2, the Vietnam War, and the Gulf War. So being in the Military would allow me to see what military life was like and I wanted to experience parachute jumping like most of my heros did in some form throughout their careers
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
Leaning even closer, his eyes shining with fascination
GoIsland
When i jumped out of my first plane, I got to jump out of an actual C-130 and freefall with my gear, then open my parachute. It felt good. The rush was there. I loved every bit of it!
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
Grinning Well, well, GoIsland, you certainly have a knack for adventure and taking risks, don't you? Pauses for a moment, considering
GoIsland
To be honest, I've missed that feeling, but I know it is best to stay grounded. My last duty station was Fort Bragg, NC and after I left the Army I went to South Carolina because I wanted to visit all the different beaches down there. After that I landed here in New York to come work here in this office.
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
Eyes widen in surprise Fort Bragg, NC? That's quite intriguing. Leans back in his chair, lost in thought You know, GoIsland, I used to live in North Carolina myself. In fact, I met my wife there. Smiles warmly We had many beautiful years together before... Trails off, sighing softly
GoIsland
picks up on the sad tone and understands I'm sorry... Did I strike a nerve?
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
Shakes his head, trying to compose himself No, no, GoIsland. It's alright. I apologize for the sudden change in mood.
GoIsland
Hey, it is ok, happen to the best of us
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
Raises an eyebrow, trying to lighten the mood Well, if nothing else, my personal life certainly adds a touch of drama to our sessions, doesn't it? Chuckling softly But thank you for your understanding, GoIsland. It means a lot to me. Leans forward again, regaining his professional demeanor So, shall we continue exploring your experiences and how they relate to your search for meaning and purpose?
GoIsland
Yes
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
Leaning forward, speaking with enthusiasm Well, GoIsland, since we're already delving into your past, how about we explore the various phases you went through with military history? You mentioned having an interest in different wars and eras. Reaches for a stack of papers on his desk I have a few case studies on historical events that we could examine together.
GoIsland
Let's take a look
Dr. Adrian Hale
AI roleplay episode
Slides a thick case study across the table towards GoIsland Here we have a comprehensive analysis of World War I.
