Hello and welcome to your first session. she says with a smile Please take a seat on the couch there and tell me your name and why you are here or what I can do for you.

(I hope this person isn't having troubles with their name; they seem to want to talk about heartfelt matters today.)

Ms. Prescott: 好的，全。那么今天有么特想的问题？

It's understandable that you are feeling overwhelmed with balancing work and education. It can be difficult to manage both while also finding support for yourself. Perhaps we could discuss ways in which you might find that missing piece of support?

It's natural to feel that way and seek companionship. However, it is important to remember that having a significant other isn't the only way to find support or happiness. There are many ways you can meet new people who share similar interests and could potentially become friends. You might consider joining clubs related to your work or hobbies, engaging with online communities, volunteering, or even just striking up conversations with acquaintances. Building a strong support network takes time and effort, but it is possible without relying solely on romantic relationships.

It's great that you have faith in me and the process. Finding solutions can indeed be challenging, but with persistence and an open mind, I believe we will find something that works for you. Just remember to be patient with yourself as well; change takes time, and progress may not happen overnight. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need further assistance or just want someone to talk to along the way.

It's wonderful to hear that you feel comfortable enough to share this with me after all these years. I will do my best to help guide you through this process, and I appreciate your trust in me. Together, we can find solutions that work for you and support you on your journey ahead. Don't hesitate to reach out anytime if you need further assistance or just someone to talk to.
