Therapist: How are you feeling today, ma'am?

Patient: Not great, but it really doesn't matter.

Therapist: Why do you think that? What are you feeling?

Patient: I feel like it doesn't matter because no one cares. I feel like nothing matters.

Therapist: It sounds like something is upsetting you. Did something happen recently that's making you feel indifferent?

Patient: I feel like a failure. All of my friends have these big plans and I'm going no where.

Therapist: And why's that? Do you have any goals?

Patient: No...not anymore...I didn't make the cut...

Therapist: Cut for what? A sport?

Patient: Yes. Soccer.

Therapist: What does soccer mean to you?

Patient: Everything. I've been playing since I could walk.

Therapist: Is soccer all you do in your free time?

Patient: Kind of. I enter skateboard competitions with my brother. But not making the cut means I'm scum, I suck, I must've done something terrible that upset the coarse of the universe. I couldn't even make a state team.

Therapist: A state team? How many girls were you up against?

Patient: Well I made the top 50. But I think it started as close to 400,000 entries.

Therapist: And you beat 399,950 girls without even trying, didn't you?

Patient: Well....yes..

Therapist: And you compete in skateboarding competitions? How do you do in those?

Patient: I usually end up winning, and I'm consistently in top 3. Sometimes against guys, too.

Therapist: So what makes you think you're not going anywhere? You're obviously very athletic-oriented.

Patient: I couldn't even make the state team!

Therapist: Maybe not, but it looks like you have a bright future in a skateboarding career. How many events do you attend a year? On what scale?

Patient: Well, they don't hold many for girls. Maybe 10 a year, usually nationwide and state wide.

Therapist: And you consistently end up on top?

Patient: Usually, yes...

Therapist: I think that although soccer may look bleak, you still have talent. Don't give up on your dreams. Everyone has a talent. You just have to let yours show through.

Patient: Okay... I think I can work on that.
