Therapist.: No, no, Usa. I really do not know what you mean.
Usa.: Hell, man, do I have to spell it out?
Therapist.: Well, yes, Usa. You do have to spell it out. You have to call it by its name.
Usa.: Why do I have to do that, man? You tell me!
Therapist.: You mean you do not know, Usa? Really?
Usa.: Of course I do not know. Is that not why I have come to see you; for you to tell me?
Therapist.: Tell you what, Usa? What is it you want me to tell you?
Usa.: Mmmm. Ohh, mmm.
Therapist.: Are you alright, Usa? You seem to be in pain.
Usa.: Of course I am in pain, man. I have been in pain for a long time; alot of pain. And it is not going away.
Therapist.: Really?! What are you in pain about, Usa?
Usa.: Is it not obvious, especially to a fucking therapist, man?
Therapist.: Well, I assume that you want to talk to me about something, Usa, when you first ask for an appointment. But I cannot say what hails you, Usa, unless you tell me.
Usa.: So, what do you want me to tell you, then?
Therapist.: Whatever you want to tell me, Usa. That is what therapy is all about; it is about enabling and giving you the time to talk about what is causing you this pain.
Usa.: You already know what is causing me this pain, man.
Therapist.: Do I, Usa? Seems that you might be a better therapist than me, if you know what I know, without me having to tell you.
Usa.: Yes, you know that I have a problem, man!
Therapist.: Shit! I beg your pardon, Usa. Did you say you have a problem?
