fandom_clinic | Clinic [1/24]

... Susan is waiting for her two appointments.

Marty comes in during fifth period and waves at Susan.

"Am I late for my appointment?"

"Not at all, Marty. Why don't you follow me back to my office?" (http://community.livejournal.com/fandom_clinic/62764.html?thread=2905388#t2905388) Susan offered, getting up from behind the desk, and gesturing to the counseling room.

Peter walked into the Clinic at just before 4:00. "Hi, I'm Peter Parker. I'm here for my appointment."

"Hello, Peter. I'm Dr. Pevensie." Susan rose and offered him her hand to shake. "You're just on time. Let's go back to my office (http://community.livejournal.com/fandom_clinic/62764.html?thread=2910764#t2910764), shall we?"

He wasn't actually having a bad day. He was just being lazy. Avoiding clinic, because that's what House does best, much like bouncing is what Tiggers do best.

Speaking of Tigger, he'd promised Wilson he would talk to Blair, and he'd told Blair he'd be in the clinic in the afternoon, so he figured he ought to at least make an appearance. For the record, the promise is not the only reason he wants to apologise to ~~Blair~~ Tigger.

[OOC: House will be MIA for 8th period class]

Blair wandered into the clinic timidly. He had promised Dr. Wilson that he would come back and Dr. House had called and didn't sound...yell-y. He took a deep breath and stepped further inside.

He sat at the desk wih a red lolly pop dangling from his mouth, and a crossword puzzle book in front of him. He looked up when Blair came in, and felt a stab of regret for how he'd acted the other day.

"I suppose even tiggers get tired of bouncing all the time," he said with a slight smile.

Blair shrugged. "Sometimes bouncing can be annoying."

House nodded. He pushed out of the chair so he was standing, and moved to the other side of the desk. He didn't use his cane, and held the lollypop in his hand.

"Yeah." He nodded and rubbed hs hand across his forehead. "Come with me to Exam One. I don't feel like broadcasting to the whole school." House went to the exam room, and the rest of the conversation is NFB as exam rooms are considered private and NFB.

Blair followed Dr. House into the exam room and stuck his hands in his pockets. Biting his lower lip he looked up at Dr. House.

"I'm really sorry, man." He said quietly.

"That's why I didn't want this public, Blair. Listen to me." House put a hand on Blairr's shoulder. "You didn't do anything wrong. I was selfish and irresponsible the other night. I shouldn't have been here. My leg was really bad and when my leg hurts like that I can't think straight. You caught me at a bad time. I would have lashed out at anyone who happened through that door. It wasn't you, Tigger, it was me."

Susan led Marty back to her office (http://susanofnarnia.livejournal.com/902.html#cutid1), and shut the door behind him, then gestured to the couch and chairs. "Sit anywhere you wish. Do you mind if I take notes? Shorthand, I promise. And I also have a very short questionaire for you, to save us some time, if you're up to it."

Marty nodded to Susan looking and feeling slightly nervous. "Not a problem."

"Thank you." Susan handed over a sheet with the following questions. "Some of them we already went over when you made the appointment, but if you could answer the others, that would be a help."

6. Have you previously been in therapy?
Answered - Dr. Brenda Chenowith & Dr. Oatman

Broke up with girlfriend, got taunted by a vampire, put mother in loony bin. Well, that was enough to explain the lack of sleep and general unhappiness right there.

"All right, Marty. We covered the basics when we talked earlier-- let's concentrate on your goal for therapy. What would you consider 'normal'? How would you know, when you've achieved clarity? What do you want to feel and think, that's different from what you feel and think now?"

"Right now? I feel like I've got this little cloud that follows me everywhere. Keeps my day on the gloomy side and... puts a damper on everything."

A quick note, then Susan said, "So you want to talk about your problems, perhaps find a way to handle them, a way to adjust your emotions in response?" She studied him. "How much of this do you think is situational-- recent events-- and how much, would you say, is how you're used to coping? I think what I'm asking is: were it not for the latest stresses, would you feel any different? Or is this an ongoing problem, this cloud?"

Susan led Peter back to her office (http://susanofnarnia.livejournal.com/902.html#cutid1), and shut the door behind him, then gestured to the couch and chairs. "Sit anywhere you wish, make yourself comfortable. Do you mind if I take notes? No one else will see them. And I also have a short questionaire for you, if that's all right?"

Peter took a seat on the couch and said, "Um, sure. Notes are good. And, um, yeah, I could do a questionaire. I'm good at quizzes."

Susan laughed a little. "Don't worry about the answers, though. Or even if you can't answer them. They're just to save a little time, and to possibly help you get your thoughts in order. All right?"

She handed him the following questionaire.

1.What prompted you to come here today?

2. Are you experiencing any of the following symptoms:
Difficulty sleeping?
Appetite problems?
Changes in drug/alcohol use?
Changes in sexual interest?
Problems with classes/grades?
Other problems?

3. How often do you exercise?
How often do you use alcohol?
Drugs? (please specify)

4. Are there any recent new stressors in your life?
(for example):

Death of loved one
Change in job
Divorce (yours/parents)
Marriage (yours/parents)
Child (yours/parents)
Move to a new place
Other

5. Is there any family history of emotional/mental disorder that the therapist should be aware of?

Alcoholism/Drug abuse
Depression
Schizophrenia
Manic-Depression
Other

5. What is your main goal in seeking therapy?

6. Have you previously been in therapy?

"Fill that out, then we'll go over it, all right?"

Peter filled out the questionaire and handed it back to Susan. "Um. There are a few important things to get through early on before this really makes any sense, I think. But what we talk about here is completely confidential, right?"

***

1.What prompted you to come here today? My aunt suggested therapy a couple months ago and last night prompted me to get a rush on it.

2. Are you experiencing any of the following symptoms:
Difficulty sleeping? Sometimes.
Appetite problems? Often very hungry. There's a scientific explanation for that.
Changes in drug/alcohol use? Consistantly nil.
Changes in sexual interest? No changes.
Problems with classes/grades? Not at Fandom.
Other problems? Um. It's complicated.

3. How often do you exercise? Frequently before moving here.
How often do you use alcohol? Never.
Drugs? (please specify) Never.

4. Are there any recent new stressors in your life?
(for example):

Death of loved one Uncle/guardian, close friend, close friend's father
Change in job Left an after school job when I was coming here.
Divorce (yours/parents) Parents have been dead for years.
Marriage (yours/parents) God no.
Child (yours/parents) Definitely no.
Move to a new place Here to Fandom.
Other Yes. But I don't have enough room on paper.

5. Is there any family history of emotional/mental disorder that the therapist should be aware of?

Alcoholism/Drug abuse None as far as I know.
Depression My aunt after the death of my uncle a year ago.
Schizophrenia No and no.
Manic-Depression Nope.
Other The Parkers have historically been relatively sane, if moderately neurotic.

5. What is your main goal in seeking therapy? To curb certain unhealthy impulses. Again, this requires a bit of explanation.

6. Have you previously been in therapy? No.

Susan clicked on her pen, and studied the paper. "Right, then. Let's start with the beginning, Peter. To reassure you: yes, everything that we discuss is under doctor-patient confidentiality. The only exceptions are child abuse, threats of violence, violent crimes, or threats of suicide. Otherwise, everything we say here will be kept only in my notes--" She held up the pad, "-- which are kept in shorthand, never leave this office, and are in a notation specific only to me. Okay?" She cocked her head.

"Are there any questions about me, or about therapy, that you wish to have answered before we begin? Any other information that you wish to have about how this works?"

"And if you feel comfortable discussing it ... what happened last night?"

"Well, I haven't committed any violent crimes. So. That's good." Peter was extremely comfortable. Really.

"Um, I don't think I have any questions. If I think of anything, I'll let you know."

"Last night. Um. I don't know if you've heard about what happened last night in the park, but I was there. Not setting things on fire! I didn't do any crime. But I wandered into a situation I knew for a fact was dangerous and I got attacked and... Well, I survived without a scratch. Um. That's the part that I'm not really comfortable discussing, but nothing makes sense without it, really."
