Therapist :

Let’s begin from my left side! Michael you may start.

Michael :

I have a mother and a father, who are quite pushed in their elderly age, I feel sorry for myself and even more for them, I never became who they wished me to be, I never became who I wanted to be. I hope one day when I get out of here, they will be still alive and to enjoy some good days with them!

Therapist:

Thank you Michael for sharing your story with us. Let’s continue with you Nick!

Nick :

What can I say? I never had a family, they left me in orphanage.Hopefully when I go out of here

I will be able to create my own family.

Therapist :

Thank you Nick, what about you Roy?

Roy :

I have a daughter, she suffers from leukemia, I feel like shit for not being able to help her out, cannot do a single shit from here. The only thing I can do is train and do exercises to remove bad thoughts from my head. I am counting the days to go out of here, in few months I will be out, I will hold my daughter in my arms.

Therapist :

Thank you Roy, Steven?!
