DuBuis: Reverend Lynn ? I know you are really Spencer's therapist but I was wondering if I could make an appointment to see you? And could you please not tell Spencer?
Reverend Lynn Lawton: Certainly, DuBuis. I'll check my schedule and email you back with possible times to meet. And of course I will not tell your husband. Just like with him everything you tell me is completely confidential. Are you alright? What particular issue is troubling you? Is it stress? Being a caretaker comes with it's own unique stress.
DuBuis: I don't think it's stress. I think I'm depressed. No. It's not just depression. I think I'm going crazy.
DuBuis: I'm hearing voices. Not all the time. Just sometimes. I hear Spencer when he's not there. I hear my father. My father is dead. Sometimes I'm so tired I can't move. I can't concentrate. Others my mind is always racing.
Reverend Lynn : How's your availability for next week here at the center? Monday? Two PM ? That work for you?
DuBuis: That's fine, Reverend Lynn.
Reverend Lynn : Until then I recommend Psalms to help clear your head of any worries. And if you need to talk before our appointment please call me. I'll see you next week.
