PUTTIN’ SOME ORDER IN MY ANXIETY DISORDER – The SCREENPLAY! In the style of Quentin Tarantino!

Therapist: So, tell me why you decided to come to therapy today.

Me: Well, I’m at my wit’s end. I feel like I’ve tried everything and nothing is working. I heard that this is the second oldest profession in the world, and I figured it was worth a shot.

Therapist: And what exactly are you hoping to get out of therapy?

Me: Just some peace of mind, I guess. I’m tired of feeling crazy all the time. I heard that you guys offer a deal where you pay for “insanity now, serenity later.”

Therapist: (laughs) It’s not quite that simple, but we do try our best to help our patients find some clarity and peace of mind.

Me: Well, when I saw you on Skype, I have to admit, I was a little worried. You looked like you were trying to hide something.

Therapist: (laughs awkwardly) I’m sorry if I seemed strange. I was just having a bad day. But let’s focus on you, okay?

Me: Okay.

Therapist: So, I’m going to use a technique called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It involves asking you some specific questions to help you identify and confront negative thought patterns. Are you ready to give it a try?

Me: Sure.

Therapist: Great. So, first question: what does your anxiety want from you?

Me: (pauses to think) I guess it wants me to feel overwhelmed and helpless.

Therapist: And what does your anxiety feed on?

Me: It feeds on my fear and self-doubt.

Therapist: And finally, what makes your anxiety go away?

Me: (pauses to think) I guess it goes away when I’m able to confront my fears and believe in myself.

Therapist: That’s very insightful. We’ll work on building up those skills in future sessions. For now, let’s take a break and we can pick up from here next week.

Me: Sounds good. Thanks, therapist.

Therapist: No problem. Take care.
