The Session
Harriet leafs nervously through an ancient edition of National Geographic, catatonically perusing Aboriginal women’s tits. Another night of restless torture had compelled her to call for an emergency session.The prototypical waiting room chair, with the hard edges and stiff vinyl cushion offers little relief from her suffering. She wonders if it’s planned that way, so that when she sinks into her therapist’s couch, the immediate comfort seems to assuage her pain.
