---------------------------------------------
Alice was nervous sitting in the waiting room. To be fair, she was always a little on the nervous side, but especially now, waiting to meet her new therapist, Dr. Hillman. Her husband, Jason, had been suggesting that she go see him for several weeks now, swearing that he knew people that said he was a miracle worker. Apparently, he specialized in working with patients that suffered from anxiety and depression, and could really bring some positive life changes, and empowerment. Her anxiety peaked as the door opened into the office, and a nice older heavy set white gentleman wearing glasses and a sweater waved her into the room. "Nice to meet you, I'm Dr. Hillman. Would you like to step inside my office?" he added, gesturing to a couch inside.
Moments earlier, Peter Hillman had been reading his email, confirming all of the details one last time. "Alice Fielding, Asian, age 24." He glanced at the attached picture of her with her husband, noticing the large boobs on her otherwise petite toned frame. Her long black hair, and cute face, accented by meticulously applied makeup, making her eyes draw you in. How the fairly bland looking man in the picture ended up with her wasn't entirely clear to him. He continued to read the message. "As her husband, I've been frustrated by Alice's lack of interest in exploring new experiences in the bedroom. She is a naturally anxious person, and it would be great if you could help her relax, and open her up to new experiences." The email went on detailing some other aspects of the relationship, and personal details, none of which truly mattered. Alice had no idea her husband had reached out to Dr. Hillman several weeks ago, after researching behavioral adjustment therapists, and finding reviews online for his practice, claiming truly "life changing" results. Dr. Hillman leaned back in his chair, and pondered where he wanted to take this experience. Hillman was normally content to simply be paid for his "help" but something about the picture of the young wife reminded him of a girl he had pursued many, many years ago... and it was not a fond memory.
"So, Alice, let's begin by getting to know each other a little", he started. They spent the next 10 minutes talking about his experience, and her slowly growing anxiety. They dug into her insecurities that life was passing her by, that her husband might not love her forever, and that she might not actually be a good person. He had to force himself to keep composed, hearing these worries from a young, beautiful, successful, girl who was clearly active volunteering in her community. "I see Alice, that's a lot to have on your mind" he nodded seriously and continued "These types of things can take years to really work through with traditional therapy, but you sound like you're in an acute state of distress, so if you're open to it, we could explore other methods of treatment". "Like what?" she asked him, wiping a tear from her eye. "Well, hypnosis, when performed by a professional in conjunction with therapy, over time, can substantially accelerate personal growth. Is that something you'd be open to?". She slowly nodded. While she very was apprehensive, this was someone that her husband seemed to completely trust, and if that were the case, she was willing to give it a try.
Dr. Hillman smiled kindly and stood up. He went over to the far side of the room, and prepared a small cup of tea, and grabbed a metronome before walking back, and handing the drink to her. "Please enjoy that herbal tea while I describe what will happen next. This process only works if you are willing to go along with it, so trying to align your willpower with the objectives of the therapy will be key to making progress. Additionally, you may feel slightly strange as a result of all of this, and rapid changes you may go through. The best way to keep grounded, is to talk to someone you love and trust about what you're experiencing to get reassurance that everything is okay. In this case, it sounds like your husband may be a good person to fill that role." Alice finished the tea as Dr. Hillman concluded. She had a few questions about how long things would take, but nothing major.
"Okay, lets begin", said Dr. Hillman, as he turned on the metronome and began walking her through relaxation exercises until she was on the verge of being unconscious. This also gave the mild psychoactive drug he added to her tea time to become effective. Hillman had prepared what he was going to do next. In his experience, it was very hard to change a person's belief or identity, but what you could do was change how they reacted to things in the moment behaviorally, then then in time, hopefully, their mind would change on things to reduce the dissonance between actions and beliefs. Of course, this had to be done somewhat gradually.
