"Hello Merope,
I see a lot more than you think I do. I know you are anxious when you twist your fingers. I know you are ashamed when you speak without looking at me. I know you are insecure when you exhibit that over-the-top politeness and people pleasing attitude: there is no need to express profuse 'thank yous' at the end of every session. I know you have deep-rooted abandonment issues and I know that sometimes you are still afraid that I too, will abandon you. I will not.
I can see the feelings of transference that are oozing out of you; yes, those times when you tried to beat around the bush and hint at it were noted. I am looking forward to the day when you will open up to me without fear of being reprimanded. Until then, it's okay to keep staring at me as if afraid I will evaporate if you look away. I don't mind. I'm here. I've got you.
P.S. I know you googled me. Perhaps we should address your propensity for cyberstalking next session, yes?"
At least this is what I wish. Of course, what he's probably thinking is "Ah, here's the 7:00 o'clock weirdo. One more hour and I can go home. Power through." LOL.
