“She was past present future. I wanted to answer, but I was broken.”

“Sam,' the girl said. 'Sam.'She was the past present and future. I wanted to answer , but I was broken.”

“I love metaphors and she has come up with the idea of lighting candles to symbolize my past, present, and future. My past and present were the two candles we started with; she would ask me what I would like to start with or deal with today. I would light up either my past or my present depending on the answer. During the last few sessions we've used the candles I've noticed my past melting more and more and becoming duller and duller in light.”

“She didn't want to be reminded of her past or how different her present was from the future she'd taken for granted.”

“I need to acknowledge that she may have controlled my past, but she doesn't have to dominate my present and my future, too”

“Sam: I wanted to answer, but I was broken.”
