Marriage Therapy...
Jeez that was one hell of a session! Sorry I just got done with a marriage counseling meeting with some of my my clients who have a lot of...spirit. I know being an official therapist I shouldn't disclose this kind of information about my customers online, but these two are really something. Now Petruchio and Katherine aren't your average couple. Most partners will quarrel, make up, and bury any negative feelings that come out in therapy. I usually have to go through two or three major problems in a marriage that the couple will talk out with my help. You would be surprised what I can uncover in an hour session. However, the couple I mentioned it very different. There are so many problems in their marriage it would take a full-time team of miracle workers weeks to uncover them begin to solve them all. The two of them don't bury their negative feelings either, they let one another have it fully disclosing whatever they have a problem with.I believe they have been coming to me once a month for the last two years or so. In that time I have had five potted plants broken, my stapler, pens, paperclips, thumbtacks, and letter openers used as weapons, replaced two of my 3 office windows, had two computer monitors broken over heads(I suffered a concussion on the second time), and had my office door broken down. So yeah they are a very spirited duo. Also I know all that violence coming out in a business place seems bad, but we've only ever had to call the cops once to break up the fighting.Besides the sessions usually end with them making up after getting the negative emotions out of them. I recently considered buying some kind of flak jacket to wear under my suit which might protect my torso from my gold clubs in the corner should they ever be used to strike someone rather than the ball. Today was more of the same. Petruchio had started calling Katherine by the nickname Kate and she wasn't going to have it. I also got sort through some jealousy from Katherine of her younger sister's husband and his rather cheery and kind attitude compared to Petruchio. The whole ordeal was wonderful as always for me but hey I'm not complaining! I'm making a fortune off of these two's regular sessions. They also give me a new appreciation for love because I know as whoever I marry in my life, I will have already learned how to deal with a much more challenging couple than we could ever be!
