Barely 30 minutes into the first session
and the therapist observes:
"I think that perfectionism
is also an issue."

[pause]

"It is,"
I admit.

"Why didn't you check it
in the inventory?"

Fair question.

"Because being a perfectionist
is a flaw,
and being a perfectionist,
I can't admit it."

"I see,"
said the therapist.
