Chapter Two – Therapy with Tigress

Sooth's Notes: Day Two – Today I see the Tigress…what's her name again? Oh, right, Tigress. Perhaps I'll be dealing with normal issues today. I hope so for my sake. All I could dream about last night was attacking food and pandas trying to hit on felines…not the most pleasant thing in the world. And so my second day begins…

"So Tigress, what can I help you with today?"

"I'm so frustrated about this TV show that's playing I don't even know where to start."

"Well, what's bothering you the most?"

"The fact that they said I had a crush on Shifu. Shifu? Are they insane? He's my Dad! What kind of sick, twisted person thought that up?

"This is…unsettling."

"And that actress looks nothing like me! Her eyes are all wired, and what is with her voice? I don't sound even close to that. And they have Po hitting on me and calling me things like 'honey'. And they have my personality all wrong. I'm not that cranky. I'd never be so uptight that I'd just attack someone that was holding a towel. And I do smile."

"I see. And how does that make you feel."

"Annoyed and disgusted. I don't just randomly hit people, and I would never ever in my life have a crush on Shifu. Don't I have a complex enough life without adding to it?"

"Is there anything else bothering you?"

"Yes, as if this show isn't enough. Why do people keep trying to pare me off with Po? I'm disturbed enough about how they make me look and act on TV. Do I have to deal with the Ti/Po paring outside of the show as well? Po's my friend for goodness sakes! We're not even the same animal! How do they even think that'd be possible?"

"…And how do you feel about that?"

"Same as the show. I'm having constant nightmares that in the next movie they're going to put Po and I together. I'm starting to get stressed about all of this, and I don't get stressed!"

"I see. Why don't we talk a little about your childhood?"

"Do I have to?"

"Don't you think it would be beneficial?"

"Not really."

"Why not?"

"I don't see what for. Everyone already knows I had a messed up childhood. At least they do if they've watched Secrets of the Furious Five. And they all know I used to punch trees to train so now I have no feeling in my hands."

"You have no feeling in your hands?"

"I didn't mean it like that! Obviously I have some feeling in my hands. If I didn't I wouldn't be able to use chopsticks."

"Is there anything else that bothers you?"

"Not really…unless you count finding out that Po has action figures of me and the others. I don't think I'm really 'disturbed' by it, I just think it's a little odd. Did he mention them in his session?"

"I'm afraid he skipped that."

"Too bad, I was interested in the diagnosis for that one."

"Does it bother you at all that you're a forced vegetarian?"

"What in the world do you mean?"

"You know, you eat tofu and noodles and all that stuff instead of eating meat, like a normal tiger."

"Meat? As in other animals? Are you telling me that real tigers eat other animals?"

"Well…"

"I have to go. I think I'm a little more disturbed then when I first came. Thanks anyway…"

"…Perhaps I shouldn't have brought up the meat issue."

Sooth's Notes: End of Day 2 – Well, I think that went better than the first day…ok maybe not. I didn't realize the meat subject was a sensitive issue…I thought she knew the truth about tigers. Oh well. I don't know how she could be more bothered by meat than the other problems we discussed. I'm very intrigued by this TV show everyone keeps talking about. Perhaps to be in better touch with my clients I should watch a few episodes.

Final Analysis: Alsodisturbed about the TV Show (and now meat as well). Has a strong dislike for her TV self. I suspect she may have some repressed feelings about her childhood.

Suggested Treatment: More therapy to recover from my therapy.


A/N: *hides from rampaging Ti/Po fans* Now now, remember what I said? This is just for fun, so no killing the author. No, I don't like the Ti/Po thing but that's just my opinion.
