Therapist Dan: “Did you have any friends other than Runt?”
Me: “Actually, I did. But he was four years older than me.” Therapist Dan: “Tell me about him.”
Me: “I can tell you about an incident that occurred in the early 90s.”
Therapist Dan: “What happened with you and your older friend?” I froze as I heard my parents pull up to the driveway. “Oh my God, My parents are home!” I yelled. “Jeremy, my parents just got home! We need to get that tape out of the VCR!” I screamed with anxiety. Before we had a chance my parents walked into the door with groceries. All Jeremy had time to do was turn off the T.V. and stop the tape! It was still inside the VCR!

My 14-year-old next-door neighbor Jeremy Panther befriended me as soon as we moved into our meth lab house. We usually hung out inside the house when my parents were gone (No, he didn’t touch me in my special place, okay). We were so bored one Sunday afternoon that Jeremy asked me if I had any cool movies to watch. As he sifted through loose VHS tapes below our family room T.V. he came across something shocking! It was an 80’s aerobics video! He said with excitement, “Hey, this looks cool. Let’s see what’s on this tape!” When he

It was another time involving porn and embarrassment with my parents. One of the most humiliating days of my life was when Buck found my trail of porn sites in his search engine! He sat with my momma at his computer naming all the websites… monstersofcock.com, bigcockteenaddiction.com, oh and mydaughterisfuckingablackdude.com (wow, one website without the word cock in it!). He actually asked why I looked at those websites and what kinds of people were telling me about them! So I told him a bunch of farmers and a blond bitch. He knew exactly why I looked at them, but he just wanted to know why his keyboard was always sticky. Needless to say I was banned from ever using his computer

    It all began with a simple phone call one night after dinner. “Joe,” my father hollered up the stairs, “it’s for you. It’s Jackie, and she sounds upset.” As I came downstairs to pick up the phone, I was not happy.

    I remember my kindergarten class with all the play and sleep time. My teacher asked that we needed to bring in a toy for play time. I told my mother that I needed a new toy because I didn’t want to bring an old toy to school. My mother took me to the toy store where she bought me a Michael Jackson dancing action figure. He had the sparkling glove and a mic. I was happy to get a toy to match my Thriller vinyl record and I moonwalked all night. I was also happy to show off my toy to all my class mates the next day. The worst experience was when my…

    In our country, no one branch of government has complete power over the people. The Federal system divides the power equally among the three branches. Our three branches of government, the Legislative, Executive and Judicial branches, help keep our country from being run by one person, or a group of people. This makes the jobs of the government fairly divided between elected people and appointed people.…

    I spent a great amount of time trying to decipher how to get the car to start. Meanwhile, Joe just sat there by the side of the road eating crackers. “We’d be on our way now if you would just call a tow truck!!” he yelled. I paid him no mind, that’s all he ever does anyway, talk. Yet, he was right. I couldn’t afford a tow truck, I was still waiting on my next paycheck, since the last one finished the next day after I cashed it. I leaned against the trunk of my car, I looked down at my shoes they were…

    When I walked in the doors of our house, I looked to the left where our couch was and saw my parents sitting facing towards me with nervous faces. I set my bag on the ground next to the door, and I set my shoes next to my bag. I slowly turned around and walked towards the couch, hesitant to take a step forward. Part of me considered bolting--running for the door. Their faces were plastered with anxiety, and I tried to think of what I had done. Nothing clear came to mind. Once I finally sat down, I looked at my parents and said, “What's wrong?”…

    Solution-focused brief therapy uses several techniques and procedures in helping clients find solutions and create a more satisfying life. The therapeutic relationship must be a collaborative one. The therapist must believe that the clients are the experts in their own lives. If the therapeutic process is not a joint-venture, the clients will not find positive solutions to their problem. The Miracle Question, Pretherapy Change and Scaling Questions are just three of the techniques and procedures used by solution-focused therapists (Corey, 2009).…

    First scene is kids knocking over vases, destroying houseplants, throwing tantrums, etc in one family. “The joys of parenting? You must be kidding!” Ms Collin was so tired and frustrated, and she picked up the phone and complained to her best friend Ms Stone, who also has three kids. “Your kids are doing their homework?! Unbelievable! You must show me your secret!” Second scene is now in Ms Stone’s house, who was just enjoying her time of Yoga while Ms Collin walked in. “You’ve got to have one! It’s amazing!” Ms Stone shared excitedly, “Let me show you my secret weapon, - TiVo”. Then she vividly demonstrated how TiVo works, “you can pause anytime without being interrupted by the phone; with it you can record 30 hours of programming without the hassle of videocassettes. And it’s also intelligent enough to automatically detect and record the shows that you love with a ‘season pass’, and make suggestions just for you. See? Just pause, rewind, fast-forward, pause again, etc. You can skip the commercials if you want. I know our kids love the comic show only available at 8 - 9pm every day, so TiVo will record it and then my kids can watch it whenever they want!” Ms Collin is so fascinated by the demonstration and can’t wait to get one herself. Final scene is the slogan, “TiVo, TV your way.”…
