A therapist's office. Martie is the patient. Dr. Johnson is the therapist.
Martie: I feel like running into a tree. Dr. Johnson: Why? Martie: Because I FEEL like it. Dr. Johnson: What does the feeling feel like? Martie: What? I don't know. Angry. I feel angry. So angry I could... Dr. Johnson: Go on. Martie: I could bash this computer with my foot. I could punch the wall. I could scream. I could scream so loud right now. Dr. Johnson: Okay. Martie: Okay, what? Dr. Johnson: Go on. Scream. Punch the wall. Bash the computer. Martie punches the wall. Martie: AAAAAAHHHHH! Dr. Johsnon: How are your knuckles? Martie: Hurting. Dr. Johnson: Okay. And what about the computer? Martie: No. Dr Johnson: No? Martie: I... need it. Dr. Johnson: You need your computer. Martie: Yeah. Dr. Johnson: Why? Martie: What? Dr. Johnson: It's not a trick question. Why do you need your computer? What do you use it for? Martie: Oh. Um. I watch football on my computer. Dr. Johnson: Yeah? What else. Martie: I... um, I do my taxes, send emails, edit my music there. Dr. Johnson: What else. Martie: I research. I write. I talk on FaceTime. I learn. Dr. Johnson: How do you feel now? Martie: I don't know. I... better. I feel better. Dr. Johnson: Yeah? Martie: I mean, I'm still angry. But now I'm also... Dr. Johnson: What? Martie: Hopeful? Maybe I'm a little hopeful. I got my computer just three months ago. It's fast and I can edit three times quicker than my last one. It's the processing. It's better. Dr. Johnson: See now? And now YOU are processing better.
