Thread: Perception is Reality (ClearSight & SomethingEsoteric)

Her opinions were less than conventional, she was of a different mindset than most her dusty colleagues and it was on that right she had trouble swallowing how competitive her patient seemed toward her after the initial tease. Meghan hadnt come into this with premeditated notions and she reserved her opinions, she always reserved her opinions for when shed been given more to base them upon. A sociopath? No at least, Meghan didnt think so and she was far from such a severe diagnosis, many of her colleagues believed after their initial thoughts that Miranda belonged in a facility for the criminally insane, Meghan didnt believe that either, many of them thought Miranda was a ticking time bomb and it was only a matter of time before her violent lunacy took the reins and surely it would again. She supposed it was silly for her to think that Miranda would know she was on her side from the start with so many doctors coming before her that treated her that way, treated her like she was deranged not sick and well for all Meghan knew, she wasnt sick just had a bad go of things and was lashing out now because nobody could sympathise. or maybe she was just as nave as the eyes on her believed. Meghans nose wrinkled slightly, her head and shoulders urging back a little like the tease had been a swat rather than words. Wh-well relationship doesnt necessarily me- but Miranda had already started speaking. I was providing an example Miranda. She added for posterity. Miranda either discounts words linked to intimacy by confining them to a more sexual nature or attempts to antagonize others by suggesting Freudian slips or omissions by syntax that may or may not be genuine. take care in choice of words? possible abandonment issues. Absent parents? She took a deep shaky breath to clear her head before tilting it slightly, her lips pursing to a more pensive expression, Well, if you just intend to convince me youre not the person my coworkers feel you are Meghan sighed and weaved her brows, Well, I dont think youre criminally insane or a sociopath and I dont think a relapse into violence is a certainty for you. I do however feel the fact your coping mechanism for what was a very unfortunate set of circumstances was poor and that is something I feel we should work on together Miranda. Even if I dont give you a diagnosis I would like to be able to provide you with some tools to better approach real life when youre discharged she huffed through her nose and looked away, Id appreciate if you didnt destroy me first. Maybe a little endearment tossed back but there was nothing antagonizing or doubtful about her voice almost like she might be looking for an extension of courtesy. At the mention of Jacquelyn she grimaced slightly, her heart giving a single thud and her stomach tightening slightly especially in the same sentence as desires. What she had said was true though, there was no dishonest intentions on the rise, Meghan wasnt even sure if there was any one word that could be given to what was wrong with Miranda, in fact, part of Meghan begged the question if she was just a very intelligent woman with a host of character defects that otherwise would be perfectly copacetic if not for a high stress situation many people in the world made bad choices that didnt make them bad or sick or criminal or anything just meant they made a bad choice. It was this feeling that kept Meghan from that shining gold star grade shed wanted, the impression not everyone needed a name to get better, that some people just needed to work on a flaw of character or a bad behavior and that might could be enough. Youre very intelligent, I highly doubt I would be able to put anything passed you even if I wanted to Miranda. She affirmed, -and of course, the filming will remain confidential and for my eyes only purely for the purpose of my notes and anything I may have missed during a session. You have a career to go back to and a life beyond these walls and I would not want to jeopardize that in any way. The words were becoming more and more surreal as they left her lips, Miranda was her first patient in the real world, outside of placements and workplace training this was real and keeping up the close-to-textbook diction felt strange without someone over her shoulder ensuring she was. Miranda finally finished speaking with her predisposed notions and bias much like the doctors must have done to her and Meghan took a moment to respond. It was a fair point and one that was admittedly rather close to her own thinking in ways. She didnt know how to help her entirely if she didnt entirely know what was wrong with her if anything. Everybody needed help every once in a while Meghan hummed and lifted her pad Miranda is a prodigy without a mentor to the best of my knowledge. Shes has never needed help with anything in her life it is no surprise she doesnt intend to accept any though from what I understand she was provided all she needed, help was freely given already. She seems to believe because shes gotten this far in life on her own she can persist that way Miranda doesnt seem to accept the gravity of her current location and the situation shes put herself in, Meghan tapped her pen on the pad of paper several times before looking up to her Most of my colleagues believe this has become a game for you, living here and antagonizing the staff and patients. I know youre a magnificently capable woman, do you want to leave? she continued tapping the pen on the pad like the answer would decide what next she wrote, just waiting.
