Tifa Goes To Her Stupid Therapy
Chapter 1: Session #1- Meeting a stony faced stranger
Looking right at her phone which directly says the exact time "1:15 pm", the same time that her new and latest therapy session is settled at, Tifa calmly and bravely walked to a nicely constructed office filled with gold chandeliers where a lobby is located at from across. Do I really have to be in this goddamn place?! Where is my freedom now? Tifa thought to herself quite bitterly. Tifa wondered to herself whether this new therapist could be really nice or downright RUDE or even HURTFUL. The real reason why Tifa had to first attend therapy was due to a confliction she had with Marlene, or presumably Cloud about some familiar issues dealing with taking good care of Marlene, or mostly lacking some quality time with Cloud. Tifa loved spending her own time with her husband, but Tifa sometimes wondered if Cloud remained stable in their relationship together. For Marlene, Tifa enjoyed her company a lot apparently, and as for Cloud Tifa wondered if she and Cloud can spend some time trying to connect with each other on a more enjoyable and emotional level.
With Cloud, however, he's very self reflective, over his own thoughts on his slight depression and somewhat painful memories of Aerith and Zack. He's either reflecting on his own personal thoughts of failing to protect Aerith or to save his dear best friend from the apparent danger that Zack went through. So yes, Cloud DOES need some type of recovery that he wants to have in order to get happier and better, for both him and Tifa too. If Cloud can come to his happier self like old times, then perhaps he and Tifa can go on to a much happier time. So that way Tifa can provide him with much support and help as well as happiness- or maybe eternal bliss!
Can Cloud however change his mood for Tifa? Or perhaps Tifa too? Tifa doesn't think so, besides she wanted a normal, happy life for her and Cloud as well. But Tifa also wanted to wonder why she needs to attend therapy of all people. Maybe it might help.. or not. Tifa had never been to therapy before, at all. So she wondered whether or not this could be good, or great for her.
Tifa kept looking at the time on her phone which says 1:10 pm, which means her therapy session is about to come up at any minute. She did felt a little bit nervous cause she never met the actual therapist before. Could her new therapist be really friendly? Or downright impolite? Tifa continued waiting in the lobby and shut off her phone just so it can save some of its battery. At at around 1:15, Tifa looked up and noticed that a woman, around the age of 49 or 50, came walking down the soft carpet across from where Tifa was sitting. Is it.. the therapist? Tifa thought to herself as she sat up from her seat. The woman was dressed in dark blue jeans, a white sleeved blouse, gray vest, and black sneakers. Tifa then said to her, "Um, hello? Um, are you the therapist that I'm supposed to attend?" The woman replied with a smile, "Why yes, Tifa, this is your therapist that you are seeing. It's so nice to meet you. My name is Amanda."
Amanda, huh? Tifa thought to herself a bit.
She also wondered if this therapist can be a little bit more of a friend to talk to for her sessions. But will it be at this point? Tifa thought again. Whatever it will be, it BETTER be good or beneficial, Tifa thought to herself. As soon as Tifa went to see her new therapist's office, it was quite an ordinary look- a coach, with some velvet chairs and a desk right around the middle center of the room. I could get used to this, Tifa thought to herself a bit wryly.
Tifa smoothly entered the room and sat calmly on the velvet couch. She then came to face her new therapist Amanda that's sitting across from her in a swivel purple chair. Purple really isn't my favorite color though, Tifa thought. She soon kept her thoughts to herself. "Um.. I'm new here, and I want to discuss this: why I am in therapy?" Tifa asked a bit nervously to Amanda, who is a bit busy jotting down notes from what Tifa had said onto a green clipboard. Amanda then said, "Let's introduce myself. I am Amanda, a clinical therapist, and you are my new patient. The goals here are for you to accomplish them, as long as they're achieved." Amanda soon replied, "Since I'm going to be your new clinical therapist for only a certain amount of time, the real reason you have to go to therapy is because you do require some sort of balance and help for your life. It's not going to be forever, but I hope that my therapeutic sessions will help you deliver a new meaning in life." Tifa simply crossed her arms across her chest. I don't need her in my life.. or do I? She thought again. Pushing the thoughts aside, Tifa then said, "Hmm.. ok. Here, first, I want to talk about how I'm doing. You see.. it's like it has it's ups and downs. Like with my significant other, Cloud.. I do adore him, but I want him to get better too. I keep wanting him to see how great life is between the two of us. Catch my drift?" Tifa said, in a confident and sure manner. Amanda, finishing what she wrote down, soon said, "Hmm.. I do seem to understand your point, Tifa. You want to feel great with your loved one, and also you want him to share what you want to share with him too. You can try to get along better with him, see if he'll understand you more."
Tifa simply glared at her therapist with a blank but annoyed stare. Does she seemed to get what Tifa just told her? "Um.. no Amanda. The thing is is that, I just want Cloud to be happy. And me too in that case. I only want the best for him, that's all I ever want, really. " "Ok Tifa, but what I'm saying is that you should try other new things in order to build your bond to a flourished one." Tifa shook her head a bit. "I'll figure this one out on my own." Tifa turned to face Amanda a little quickly. "At what time do we have left for this session?" Tifa asked. "For at least thirty more minutes." Amanda replied back calmy. Oh brother... Tifa thought to herself and mentally rolled her eyes. Where's a trap door when you need it?
I'm hoping that I'll upload the next chapter by this early March, since I'm juggling with schoolwork and other stuff in life. PM me for details pretty please.
