Therapist: Have you spoken with your father recently?
Laura: Well, I... He called, but I did not pick up. He knows the conditions.
Therapist: So you set a boundary?
Laura: Yeah.
Therapist: That must have been very difficult for you.
Laura: Not really. No. I'm feeling really resolute. Like, *very* resolute. So resolute, in fact... I was thinking, is this the best time to set a boundary? You know, stay with me here, because I'm wondering... maybe it would be best if I did pick up. You know?
Therapist: I don't.
Laura: Uh, okay, well, it wouldn't be, like, to ask for help or anything like that. Like, I'm not discounting years of disappointment, years...
Therapist: And abandonment.
Laura: Well, I was going to say missed opportunities, but, yeah, sure, yeah, let's just say abandonment.
