1. Speak

Bailey - Doc is just chaos.

Tailynn - How is Deshun?

Bailey - Good. He just got a promotion to CEO. He loves what he does and he...

Tailynn - No. I meant how is he to you?

Bailey - Oh that's the chaos part. He has ...

Tailynn - Yea?

Bailey - Um... never mind I think this therapy sh*t not gonna work out.

Tailynn - You have only been here all of  7 minutes. How do you know for sure it is not going to work? How about you stay and this time will be free of charge? If you feel good about your visit I will be more than welcome to let you return.

Bailey - ...

Tailynn - What do you say?

Bailey - Well Alright and I can leave anytime?

Tailynn - Yes, if you feel uncomfortable.

Bailey - Well, he has beating me ever since our last visit. I didn't know what to do since this is the first time he ever put his hands on me.

Tailynn - Does he say anything afterwards?

Bailey - Not really but he never wants to be in the same room after he does it.

Tailynn - Does he say sorry at night when in bed?

Bailey - Yeah, actually he does exactly that. He waits till I'm in the covers then wants to talk.

I began jotting down notes on my Green legal pad. 📝

Tailynn - Is there women who works at his job. Do you actually know any of them?

Bailey - Just one. I wouldn't worry about that Doc, she's always angry and hates men. She might even be a lesbian.

Tailynn - Oh I see. But I think we shouldn't dismiss that just yet.

I began writing more until I got something. Looking at my now fully written sheet on my legal pad. I knew exactly what she was experiencing.

Tailynn - Oh, perfect. I actually can help you but I need you to do one thing for me.

Bailey - Okay.

Tailynn - The next time he tries to argue with you, I want you to cry.

Bailey - How did you know I didn't cry when...

Tailynn - Don't worry about that. I need you to cry like he is about to hit you again.

Bailey - alright.

Tailynn - That's end our session today but come back tomorrow and I hope to see improvements.

Bailey - Okay, bye. And thanks.

Tailynn - You are welcome, Bailey.

Shortly after she left my office my husband called.

Tailynn - What?

Lamont - I know you didn't just what me Tailynn?!

Tailynn - Lamont, what do you want?

Lamont - Come home.
