Dr. Balis:
|
|
Dr. Balis speaking.
|
|
|
|
|
Mr. Landau:
|
|
Doctor, it's George.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
George. I didn't expect to hear from you so soon. Are you okay? You sound upset.
|
|
|
|
|
Mr. Landau:
|
|
My stomach certainly is.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
What happened?
|
|
|
|
|
Mr. Landau:
|
|
I didn't make it to the training course. I got a cab but I had to get him to stop half way. I was sick on the sidewalk. The driver didn't care, it just irritated him. I paid him off and found a cafe to sit down in for a while.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Are you feeling better now?
|
|
|
|
|
Mr. Landau:
|
|
A little. But I feel very dejected. I really thought it would be different this time. I really did. Of course you tried to warn me.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Would you like to come in for a session this afternoon?
|
|
|
|
|
Mr. Landau:
|
|
To be honest, Doctor, I just feel like going to my bed.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Well, perhaps you should do just that. Our session can wait until next week.
|
|
|
|
|
Mr. Landau:
|
|
Could we make it the next week again? I feel like I need to do a lot of thinking on my own.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Are you still considering leaving therapy?
|
|
|
|
|
Mr. Landau:
|
|
No, no, don't worry. Exactly how right you were was illustrated in glorious color on the street a little earlier.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
I'll hold that thought. We can make it the following week if you like. I have some suggestions to make regarding where to go from here.
|
|
|
|
|
Mr. Landau:
|
|
Okay. I'll be ready.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
That's Monday the 21st at 4 pm then.
|
|
|
|
|
Mr. Landau:
|
|
Thanks for being there, Doctor.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Take care George.
|
|
