Dr. Fletcher
(writing notes) Mike wrote on www.helpmypatients.com: "dr. fletcher, stop being passive in helen's sessions. you gotta tell her her self-analysis is absurd. isn't that your job?"
Helen
I've been having this problem where - there's this guy at work. He's one of my superiors and I'll go into his office and he'll talk at me forever. I'm like a slave to him. And -
Dr. Fletcher
That's absurd.
Helen
Well, maybe, but maybe I'm so doting because he reminds me of my father, I guess. That could be it. Because he does on some level. We have this weird paternal relationship.
Dr. Fletcher
That's absurd.
Helen
Oh. Well, I guess it could be because I once did have a relationship like that, so maybe I'm just kind of transferring the memory of that relationship onto this guy.
Dr. Fletcher
I think that's absurd.
Helen
Oh. Well, I guess it is. Maybe it's just because I find him really cute.
Dr. Fletcher
Yeah. Yeah.
Helen
Because he is really cute, and I would like to date him. Maybe I should do that. Maybe I should date him. I mean, I don't want to get too physical too quickly with him -
Dr. Fletcher
That's absurd.
Helen (Mondays)
Helen is shackled by Freudian ideas about sexuality.[Patient History]
