Art-within, this: "heavily modulated, robotic-therapy-voice." Thank you, that's exactly it. I almost felt like an episode of Gilligan's Island where Gillian is being hypnotized. At one point, she would ask me questions that didn't feel like questions so much as suggestions. They were more along the lines of telling me what I was feeling or wanted to do, to get some relief from symptoms. I was glad to have a friend there.
