Group Therapy: A Fictional Narrative
He woke up with more energy than the previous day. His mind had been a blur for most of the morning and he was spacing out whenever he stood still for too long. He didn't even remember having a shower yesterday, wondering if he spaced out or was so uncomfortable showering with strangers that he erased it from his memory. All he knew is that he was really not looking forward to it today.
He slowly took his shirt off, feeling the eyes piercing his skin. A sensation he was used to but the tool different and it made him uncomfortable. He was feeling so self-conscious of the scars but continued to shower, hoping that minding his own business would mean he would get left alone.
"God damn it, looks like we got another pussy on our hands guys. Be …show more content…
She threatened to tell his wife-to-be. Police thought I shot him because I as angry at him. When actually it was his brother in revenge for murdering his wife."
"Oh" was all Mick could say. Then it was time for group therapy. Aaron hadn't had it yet but he knew it was going to be awful. He hated therapy when it was 1-1 and now there are plenty of criminals listening to his problems. No thank you.
He got into the room to see the therapist in one chair, and a circle of chairs around her. How cliché he though to himself but he still proceeded to join the circle. Because there were some new faces the therapist decided to make everyone introduce themselves.

He didn't have the energy to do this today.
"Why don't you guys continue to share?" Mollie said looking over at the guards before leaving to go look for Aaron.
It didn't take long to find him. He was sitting on the floor his head in his arms and his knees curled up to his stomach.
"Let me guess, you feel guilty about a lot of things. Because of your reaction today I have to give you one to one sessions so you might as well make my first session easier." Molly said in a soothing voice.
"Two people are dead because of me and I used my dad raping me as a child as an excuse to ignore his cries for help before he committed suicide in a prison cell that I sent him to."
"Oh I see." Molly said pulling him in for support and to calm him down. "You should tell someone about today is there anyone you want me to contact for you. And I will recommend you are prescribed an antidepressant. You will have a session with me tomorrow to see what, Ifor anything else I can prescribe"
"Yeah can you call Robert, my fiance. Can you tell him I relapsed? Thank you Molly."
They just sat there, Aaron still in Molly's arms as she realised exactly what she let herself in
