My therapist says I shouldn’t date you.
My therapist says I shouldn’t date anyone
that I’m too troubled
too emotionally constipated
too much in my own head.
I wonder if my therapist just wants me
for herself.
My therapist says we need to talk about that next week.

My therapist has many many strong opinions
all based on the information I provide.
My therapist has limitations
as to what she can think about me.
I encourage her
to follow me around
for a deeper dive into my psyche.
My therapist regularly demurs.

My therapist and I
go in circles
on many subjects
and I think
it might help the process
if I regularly film myself
or invite people in
for sessions
so my therapist can know better,
learn more about me.

So?
You interested in coming in
for maybe fifty minutes?
It wouldn’t be a date
but rather
a way to get to know me better.
By the way
my name is Jon.
