Don’t you think we should
talk about her? You’ve been coming here
for two years and never said a word. *****
What? Never mind. I don’t like the topic. I need

a drink. Think of something that reminds you
about her. It’s too early in the day and I need a drink
anyway. Ok, it’s a song. What song? Helen Reddy sang
it. It’s about a mother and daughter at the circus. Tell me

the lyrics. NO, I’ll email you them. NO, tell me what you
remember now. I don’t read your emails anyhow.
“When the circus came to town; and you were frightened by the clown” There must be more. There is. But it’s the end of the session.  A Jewish

shrink who wrote a book about the holocaust, stingy *******
that he was threw me out after he broke ground. Never again
would I talk about it with anyone. But I wrote a book about him –
here’s the plug: When Therapy Fails – Mishandling The
Transference. It’s available on Amazon.
