Where Do I Go From Here?

This session records a young lady who’s fallen in love with her brother’s best friend and who now has a problem, seemingly easy enough to fix. But unsure how to move forward she seeks advice from a professional, who’d never reveal her truths to the world.

Ok, I’m not crazy, but I certainly feel pretty ridiculous right now. It’s eight-fifty A.M. and I’m sitting here in the lobby of a shrink’s office, Dr. Belinda Wildwood, LMHC, to be exact. Thankfully I’m the only one here because I couldn’t stand for anyone else to be sitting here judging me right now, I’m doing enough of that myself.

Suddenly, withdrawing me from my self-loathing rant, the office door swings open and a woman in her mid to late forties stands in the doorway. With a smile that big and bright, I’m pretty sure she’s had several cups of coffee this morning, to prepare her for all the craziness she’s about to hear.

Once she confirms I’m Nadia, her nine A.M., I stand to follow her into the office.

In case you were wondering, I’m Nadia Joseph, a twenty-eight-year-old baker who owns three bakery coffee shops here in Miami. I am the daughter of Mary, and Ryan Joseph, and only sibling to Jason Joseph, current CEO of Joseph A1 Builders, also known as the family business.

Anyway, I’m here to figure out the best solution to my current predicament. So, here goes everything or nothing. Let’s see how much clarity this two-hundred-dollar hour can bring.

“Welcome Miss Joseph. I’m Belinda.”

“When you scheduled, you said you’d only be needing one session. So, tell me a little bit about what brings you in today”

“Well, I’m kinda new to this whole therapy thing, but I’m in need of a little advice. From someone who won’t disclose my issues and I thought you’d be a pretty reliable sounding board. With the whole doctor patient privilege and all.”

“Ok, that being said, what seems to be the issue?”

“Well, before I begin, let me just say that I’m not here to be judged. I simply want to explain my problem and hear your thoughts on how I should proceed.

“Yes ma’am. Whenever you’re ready.”
