Who: Kali (_kala_) & Sita (seet) Where: NYU, out on the grounds When: Friday evening Rating/Warnings: TBD
The Syposium itself had gone well, better than Sita could've ever expected that it would. Sita had gotten the call earlier in the week to speak before a psychotherapy class on her techniques, as the life coach Avani Sudhir was becoming well known in these circles for the magical way she had with patients, always able to center the patients to the roots of all of their hangups before working the patients through their hangups and onto better living. Her healing techniques didn't focus on trying to change patient's behavior or thinking patterns, as Sita had been surprised to learn that that's what counted for psychotherapy these days.
She expressed it best when asked by a student why she didn't seek to change the patient: "The problem is not with the patient themselves, with their thoughts, their moods, their beliefs. The problem rests on what they've held on to, and once you can clear a patient of what they're holding on to, they then become free to live their life as they please."
After sticking around to answer a few more questions and to chat with the professor, who clapped her on the back and uttered, "A job well done," Sita found herself in the corridors, a briefcase at her side as she walked her way back to her car. Amidst all the congratulations and the soaring feeling she felt at how well things turned out, in the back of her mind was the incident with Krishna earlier this week. Her way of "healing" her patients always worked for sure, but turning it back on herself was far harder to do. She soon became consumed in these thoughts, oblivious to all that passed her or the possibility of running into someone accidentally.
