Hi, I'm Frank, your computerized Psychologist!
Talk to me in regular sentences and I will try to understand.
What is your first name?
Andrea
What's your problem, Andrea?
I feel depressed.
Do you enjoy feeling depressed?
No.
I see. Go on.
Sometimes I just want to cry.
Go on.
I don't know why.
Do you wish to be able to know why?
Yes.
I understand, Andrea.
Do you?
What does it matter whether I do or not?
I would feel better if you understood.
Why should you feel better if you knew I understood?
I would feel like someone is listening to me.
What if you did?
Maybe I wouldn't be depressed.
Why not, Andrea?
I think I just want someone to understand me and listen to me.
Do you really?
Yes.
Tell me why.
It makes me feel valued as a person.
What about being depressed?
If people listened to me, I wouldn't be so depressed.
I see.
You're nuts.
What makes you think I am nuts?
You ask stupid questions.
That's what I'm supposed to do, Andrea.
