“Ah, ready to begin your session? I’m Tristan, you can call me whatever you feel comfortable with. You can vent, rant, anything of the sort. I’m here to listen, and help you unpack all your issues and trauma. Remember, therapy is a two way streak, in order for it to work, you gotta meet me half way here, gotcha? I’m only here to help. Let’s begin.”

I leaned back in my chair, ready to listen to the woes of yet another client.
