[Therapist Mary Schneider]
Hello Vanessa. How are you feeling today? You look a little tired.
Hmm... Well, it’s been a while since we last spoke. How’s your anxiety been? You did so well with your calming protocols when we first worked together.

Are you still using those? Yes? Okay, good. Well, now I understand there’s a new issue. It came on just recently, rather suddenly? Can you tell me about it?

[Vanessa]
What issue? I’ve been doing my job, I come in and sit at my desk and do my work.

[Therapist Mary Schneider]
Yes. Yes, of course, you do. Your performance reviews are good, but a routine check of your online history has revealed that you spend quite a bit of time with someone in an encrypted conversation.

We have transcripts, and I’ve read them, but it’s not clear what you’re talking about in these conversations. I can’t make sense of it. You must be getting something from these that I’m not getting. Right? Who are you talking to in these?

[Vanessa]
No one! Sometimes, I talk with Luis. He’s in the marketing department. He’s nice, I guess...

[Therapist Mary Schneider]
Yes, I see Luis here, but there’s someone else.
