"Now can you tell me when this started?" The cold shakiness of her voice always made me feel uneasy, which is ironic because therapists are supposed to make you feel safe. "For as long as I could remember" I replied. I couldn't tell her the exact day but I know it started when I was really young. She wrote down everything I said, the scratching of the pen to the paper.

The meeting with the therapist was same as usual, glad to see your doing okay, I love you" a small smile formed as I left the picture.
