Therapist: “So there are a lot of changes going on in your life right now, and I know change gives you anxiety. But you’ve spent most of the session so far complaining about the NYC heat. Are you sure there aren’t other things you’d like to discuss?”

Me: “Ok. Fine. I’m just really hot.”

Therapist: “I understand. You’ve made that quite clear. How is the transition to the new apartment?”

Me: “Great!”

Therapist: “Say more.”

Me: “Well, the bedroom gets really hot…”

Therapist: “Nope.”

Me: “Ok yeah I hear it now.”
