Backing track purchased on http://karaoke-version.com . Original Song written by and performed by Neil Diamond.

Voice of Therapist, Nathan, by beartp
Voice of Shilo by planchettedubaphomette
Voice of Young Birch by Hashira_Kumatetsu
Voice of Birch's Mother by PersephoneMurray

-----
Birch continues with a discussion of his childhood with his therapist, talking about his imaginary friend who seems to be more than imaginary and the relationship with his karate teacher.

-----
I altered the lyrics of the song to fit Birch's situation, but I did not have to change much at all.

Sad to hear that Shilo had to go :( It's even more upsetting that because of what happened, Karate was ruined for Birch. With his mental scars he was torn away from something he was good at. I wonder if he'll ever revisit it again. I mean isn't therapy eventually going to get to that or is that issue most likely going to be put to rest? Speaking of therapists, isn't Bobby's dad one? Couldn't he have talked with Bir...never mind. I figure Birch wants to do this away from his actual life. All in all, I can't wait for more :)

"I wonder if he'll ever revisit it again."

Mmmmmmm......could be.....

And yeah, it is NEVER a good idea to relate to a therapist beyond your therapy session.

I've seen too many people make similar mistakes: joining the priesthood in hopes that it will help them control their desires, or majoring in psychology to help them understand their own thoughts and feelings. Neither work very well.

I can see how it can be counter productive. In fact, more often than not, it'll probably have the opposite effect. Like Stargazer said before, " Don't start lying to yourself." This pretty much would qualify for that as it's a way for them to not deal with the problem, rather side stepping it instead. If you are given tools that will fix the problem (this isn't necessarily true, but for the sake of my point...), how you feel about the problem will determine whether you throw them away or use them.

There's more to it than that.

A good portion of psycho therapy relies on the patient not knowing why the therapist is doing what they are doing. If you start studying psychotherapy, you pretty much make yourself immune to its effects.

I kinda thought of that...just didn't know how to put it into words >_< So how is it you know so much about psychotherapy anyways? You take an interest in it?

No, I knew a fur who took Psychology as a major in college, to deal with his serious mental problems. He then tried to enter Clinical Psychology, which is where you work with people who have psychological problems. The school he was studying it from eventually took him aside and told him that he would not be a good candidate for this work, primarily because he had a public website where he detailed his struggles, including artwork depicting his suicide attempts.

He insisted that they were simply discriminating against him.

Yeah, lying to himself is a good way of putting it.
