[Edward folds his hands in his lap. He's admittedly a bit apprehensive about being here in Danny's home; they don't know each other super well, after all. He's trying to shrug it off since he didn't think it would be a big deal at first and he doesn't want to back out now, but his back is a little too stiff.

He shrugs uncertainly.] A therapy session, no, definitely not. Sometimes I would talk to my brother or my, uh... boyfriend? About things that bothered me, but that was more in the "I'm trying to be more open with you" sense, and I usually didn't want to bog either of them down with things that won't affect them, so...

[So he never really said much.]

How does this sort of thing usually work?

[doctorize]

Ah, that makes sense...

[Danny nods along when Edward speaks, before he answers.]

During a therapy session, you can tell me anything you'd like: how are you feeling today, what your overall mood has been recently, any worries or interests you have lately, you get the idea. I'll ask questions so that I can understand some things further, but after I hear what you have to say, I can begin advising on what you can do in order to abate any concerns you may have going on. There's medications that a person can take in order to help their mental state, but I also like to try offering suggestions of activities or other methods a person can use instead, if they prefer. Are you with me so far?
