"Deep breath in...... hooooolllld...... aaaaanndd let it out." My psychologist lead me through to help my slight anger issues. I'm 17 and this has been happening ever since I was 12. I been shutting others out for my whole life it feels like.
"Well done, Eckhart!" My therapist congratulated me. If I can be honest, that felt too easy to be congratulated for. But she wanted me to feel proud of myself. It was a Sunday, which meant school was tomorrow. The most triggering time of the week.
"Soooo you've improved significantly since last time. We'll try waiting for a month and see how much you've improved!" My therapist suggested with such glee. It always warmed my heart to see others smiling about me in a good way.
My mother and I left her office and out the buildings doors. We got in to our car and drove home. Red lights and traffic never bothered me knowing how others are going through it with me.
After a few streets, we finally arrived home. I took a deep breath of the air that came from my home. I started my way towards the door to my home and entered to see my father watching some MLB. I took out my phone and went to my room. Just as I was about to enter, my dad called out to me.
"Went back to the ooooooold office, eh?" He questioned even if he knew the answer.
"Nothing new." I reassured him with a blank face.
"Eckhart. We need you to move on from that memory. It's all in the past." My dad reminded me for the 100th time.
"You would understand if you were me." I responded with a low rage in me.
"Remember. You attract what you put out like a magnet." He quoted. He's been telling me this ever since that retched day. Let's back up shall we?
