Dr.Richards' Notes 1/2/04

Today during our session Thomas and I discussed how "Mr.Tall" became apart of his life.  Thomas says that he's seen "Mr.Tall" for as long as he can remember, but only approached him when he was eight-years-old.  He told me that "Mr.Tall" was very old and had seen many things.  He told me that "Mr.Tall" showed him places, he showed him a cove by the ocean and that the wind never blew there.  He said that he and "Mr.Tall" used to fight pirates alot.  According to Thomas, "Mr.Tall" hates Pirate Captains.  I asked Thomas why he and "Mr.Tall" didn't get along anymore, but he just started crying and shouting, "HE WON'T LEAVE!  HE WON'T LEAVE!".  I hope that we will make more progress in the coming weeks, Thomas really is a good child and doesn't deserve to live a life plagued by mental illness.
