When I was in my 20s, I saw my very first psychotherapy client
I was a Ph
student in clinical psychology at Berkeley
She was a 26-year-old woman named Alex
记 得 见 我 第 一 位 心 理 咨 询 顾 客 时 ,我 才 20 多 岁
当时 我 是 Berkeley 临床心 理 学在读博士生
我 的第 一 位 顾 客 是名叫 Alex 的女性, 26 岁
Now Alex walked into her first session wearing jeans and a big slouchy top, and she dropped onto the couch in my office and kicked off her flats and told me she was there to talk about guy problems
Now when I heard this, I was so relieved
My classmate got an arsonist for her first client
(Laughter) And I got a twentysomething who wanted to talk about boys
This I thought I could handle
第 一 次见 面 Alex 穿着牛仔裤和宽松上衣走进来, 她一 下子栽进我 办公室的沙发上, 踢掉脚上的平底鞋, 跟我 说她想谈谈男生的问题
当时 我 听到这个之后松了一 口气
因为我 同学的第一 个顾 客 是纵火犯, 而我 的顾 客 却是一 个 20 出头想谈谈男生的女孩
