On the couch

I remember, when I began my psychiatric practice…

…my very first patient was a particularly good-looking young woman.

As one does, I motioned for her to lie down on the couch, but the woman hesitated until I managed to reassure her that it was part of the therapy procedure.

Once on the couch, she adjusted her clothes and slowly began to relax a bit.

“Now then,” I asked while starting to take notes, “how did your trouble begin?”

“Just like this!” she shouted back at me.
