At the therapist's room

    Li Chi finally started to speak: "I came here today because... "I am asking for your help to get rid of a recent problem that is bothering me so badly."

He hesitated again, but the therapist encouraged him.

"Well, what's the problem?"

"Well, I'm crying a lot these days, and I can't control my crying and I can't stop myself, and this is new; I've never cried before, maybe even as a child, and I don't remember crying; maybe I did; of course, all children do, but I don't remember a specific incident that made me cry the way it is happening to me now. I want you to help me control myself again so that I can stop crying.

The therapist replied, "

"First of all, crying is a healthy sign, and there is nothing wrong with it; it is not a disease."

Li Chi whimpered and tightened his hands to exert pressure on the chair armrest. The therapist continued, noticing Li Chi's tightness.

The therapist made a hand gesture that encouraged Li Chi to continue his speech.

"I have... "I cried when I was about to have sex with a woman, and I thought I might hurt her."

Then Li Chi raised his voice and emphasised his words,

"I don't want to hurt her, I don't want to hurt her at all." Then he paused and looked into the therapist's eyes. The therapist asked:

"How?"

An exclamation appeared on Li Chi's face, so the therapist explained his question:

"How do you hurt her?" "Why do you think you will hurt her?"

"Well, I'm violent during sex, and no normal woman can stand me," said Li Chi,

"Are you a sadist?" "Do you like pain?" The therapist queried
