Different and the same

Conversation with a close friend.  She says she is always three steps ahead of any therapist she has seen.  She says of course I am different.  I don't think so.  I really don't think so.

She says

No therapist

Has ever been able

To outthink her.

What’s the point of that?

I say

Why would you pay

For a therapist

To practice

Skirting around

Him or her?

She says of course

I’m different.

Of course

I’m different.

I have heard this before.

I will hear it again.

Of course

Really

Every therapist is different

And the same,

Just like every client

Is different

And the same.
