Sarah sat by herself in the waiting room in the therapist's office trying to read from one of the magazines. Finding herself primarily leafing through the pages and glancing at the pictures she wished to herself that she had taken Bill up on his offer to come with her. He was incredibly understanding about this whole thing but Sarah just wasn't sure exactly how she felt about Bill.
Bill was a nice guy and from what little she had seen, he also was a very giving lover, his desire to please her overshadowed his lack of stamina. Unfortunately, most of her sexual experiences with Bill ended just as they were building up and she really had no idea how Katy and Bill related to each other. The other thing was Bill's resemblance to Sarah's grandfather, something, especially considering her problems, which really bothered her.
Wanting to do this for herself, she looked into the yellow pages, found a hypno-therapist and made an appointment. She realized she probably should have done some research into who to see, but she had been too embarrassed to talk to anyone about it, even Bill. The ad for the therapist talked about being certified and it was a sizable ad, so she felt it was okay. She told herself that if it felt uncomfortable she could always go to a different doctor.
When she first arrived there was some paperwork to fill out and they had run copies of her driver's license and insurance card. She then wrote a brief synopsis of why she came to the therapist. Apparently now he was reading what she wrote in preparation for seeing her and that was why she was still waiting at eight thirty for an eight a.m. appointment.
Finally one of the doors opened and the receptionist said, "He is ready to see you now."
Sarah stood up, straightened out her dress and walked through the door. She followed the receptionist down a short corridor and into a dimly lit room. As she stepped inside, the receptionist backed away and closed the door. Sarah saw some motion at the side of the room and a shadow stepped toward her.
As the shadow entered the light of a small lamp on a table she saw a small man, actually slightly shorter than her. While she had expected him to be wearing a suit and tie, he had on a white doctor's jacket with a blue button down shirt beneath. He was balding with some gray showing in his dark hair, the gray in his beard was more pronounced.
