It's like a fear that something's always watching me, and like I'm always being analyzed.
My thoughts too, if I think something wrong, then it might come true.
Then I can't stop thinking about that.
It just keeps on going and spiraling.
I really want to make it stop.
I'm really scared of dying.
It's like one of my biggest fears, I'd say.
Sometimes I think-- well, I can't help but wonder, will this feeling only stop when I'm dead?
Okay.
I'm going to stop you right there.
I am a mandated reporter.
Legally, I'm required by law to legally call for assistance if I feel like you may be a danger to yourself or to others.
You understand.
Yes.
Oh, okay.
Sorry.
I've never really done this before.
I'm not saying that I want to kill myself.
Whoa, whoa.
Think the next thought through.
I will have to call it in if I feel like you may be a danger to yourself or to others.
Sorry.
I didn't know.
Wait, what's the protocol for that?
I can't talk about death in general, or I just can't talk about my death?
Don't make me do it.
I'll do it.
Hello.
I will have to call it in if I feel like you may be a danger to yourself or to others.
No, yes, I get it.
Now, where were we?
I was just saying that I've had these feelings for a long time now, and I'm just looking for ways to help-- Oh, yes, yes.
Oh, charley horse.
Continue.
I don't know.
I have this thing.
I don't know where it came from.
When I'm going somewhere on a plane, I can't help but think that-- [slurping] Aargh, Cherry.
Oh, should I?
Do you want me to keep going?
Go on, go on, go on.
You were talking about the-- Going- The going, yes.
-somewhere on a plane.
Somewhere on a plane, yes.
Yes, yes.
Yes.
Yes.
I'm really afraid of flying.
I'm always scared that if I don't pray beforehand and watch the flight thing where you can see where you are and how much time is left, that the plane's going to crash.
It makes no sense because if the plane crashes, it crashes.
I can't do anything about it.
Still, I feel like I have to monitor the number going up and up and up.
I can't not do it.
I can't stop myself from doing it, even though logically I know it doesn't make sense or even make a difference.
What are you doing?
Are you vaping?
[coughing] Yes.
Okay.
Dr. Cooper, not sure this is for me.
I think I'm actually just going to go, maybe.
Thank you for your-- Ah, it's cold.
Cold.
Cold water's good.
Okay.
Oh, sit down, sit down.
Let me impart a little something that I think could help with your thing.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Is that it?
Oh, we're at time.
God, you know what they say, time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.
[chuckles] Oh, but really, thank you.
Thank you so much for this.
I feel like we're making tremendous breakthroughs, just really amazing breakthroughs.
It's wonderful to see, really.
It's good stuff.
Okay.
Oh, and of course, if you need anything at all, just call my assistant, Alan, Monday through Tuesday between the hours of one and three.
No bank holidays, right?
[chuckles] Right.
Okay.
Thank you, sweetie.
Really, really great work today.
Okay?
Okay.
Bye-bye.
[door shuts] Alan.
What do you want for lunch?
What do you want for lunch?
[?]
still get a therapist.
[?]
Oh, hi.
Yes.
Hi.
I was wondering if Dr. Jacobs was taking on any new patients at this time.
Okay, cool, yes.
What's her next availability, do you think?
Okay.
Also, do you guys take insurance?
Okay, cool, yes.
Thank you.
