Dr.Richards' Notes 1/14/04

I was finally able to continue my sessions with Thomas today, though he was still rather shaky from his episode last session on the second.  Before I could start talking to Thomas, he said, "He showed me things." I asked him what he was talking about.  He told me that "Mr.Tall" had shown him disturbing images that had horrified him,but that he was fascinated by them.  He started to describe them as organs ripped to shreds and people disemboweled, he began to cry and said, "What kind of psycho would be fascinated by those things Dr.Richards!?!"  I told him that he wanted to be a doctor, so he was naturally fascinated by the human body.  He began to calm after this.  He stayed in deep thought for the rest of our session, so I didn't make anymore headway, but I managed to help Thomas stop resenting himself.  Hopefully we will be able to determine exactly what his psychosis is now.
