Hey, how's it going? I just came in from the stables.
Speaker 2
I'm great. Just eating some pizza. You come here often?
Speaker 1
Pizza sure sounds good. I might order one later.
Speaker 2
I consider it therapeutic. Ironic, being a therapist, myself. You?
Speaker 1
I breed horses and take care of them.
Speaker 2
So, does that make you a broncos or a colts fan. I love football.
Speaker 1
I guess I'm more of a broncos fan. What's your favorite team?
Speaker 2
I'm a chiefs fan. The gold and red looks great with my blonde hair.
Speaker 1
Do you go to a lot of games?
Speaker 2
When I get a chance I go with my mom. Being a nurse keeps her busy though.
Speaker 1
I haven't seen my parents in awhile.
Speaker 2
Lets talk about that, lie down on my couch.
Speaker 1
My dad is probably depressed. I hardly ever see him smile.
Speaker 2
Is the absence of your mother what lead you to horse breeding?

Speaker 2
Well, it's not football season right now, I can't wait till it is though! I'm sure you're looking forward to it too!
Speaker 1
Oh yeah, absolutely! I love hosting football parties. 
Speaker 2
That sounds like a lot off fun! Do you prepare food or does everyone bring something?
Speaker 1
A little of both. It's always really fun. How has work been going for you?
Speaker 2
Oh, work is fine. Being a therapist has its ups and downs. Sometimes you can make a difference, and sometimes people just don't seem to want to be helped.
Speaker 1
I bet that's tough. You would think they would be more enthusiastic considering they are paying for the sessions. I'm sorry you have to deal with that, it's sad. 
Speaker 2
Yes, it is sometimes sad. But, thankfully, there are a lot of people that I do help--so I try to look on the bright side. How about your work? How's it going?
Speaker 1
The horses have been keeping me busy at the stables, but I really enjoy it. Being around the horses always brightens my day. 
Speaker 2
That sounds like a fun job! I have ridden horses a few times, but I've never actually owned any.
Speaker 1
How has your mom been?
Speaker 2
My mom has been great. I'm planning to visit with her next weekend. Do your parents live far from you?

Speaker 1
I just finished feeding my horses. 
Speaker 2
What do you usually feed your horses? How many horses do you have?
Speaker 1
I have 8 horses at the moment. 3 are for sale. I feed them grass roughage with a little grains, oats at the moment. And plenty of water. They drink a lot. Do you plan to have horses ? 
Speaker 2
I'd like to., but it is impossible now as I live in the city. 
Speaker 1
You pay a fee to a ranch so they take care of  your horse, plenty of people do that. How often do you ride a horse ?
Speaker 2
Not often at all. The last time are over 5 years ago. I didn't know I can put a horse in a ranch and pay them to take care of it, I should consider that. 
Speaker 1
But it can cost a lot of money. They have to feed them and house them, they need a lot of space. And if the gets sick, it can be it the thousands of dollars if they need an operation.  
Speaker 2
Wow! How much it cost you to have 8 horses? 
Speaker 1
I have my own stable, and I grow my own roughage, so it is around 100 $ per horse per month, if you count the medical fees.  
Speaker 2
Do horses get sick easily? Perhaps I should give it more thought if I need to spend a lot of money on something I can't even enjoy too often.
Speaker 1
They can get sick, but they mostly hurt themselves, they like to exercise, they hurt their legs from time to time. 
Speaker 2
Ah, I also heard that horse shoes also quite expensive. If they exercise a lot, won't they need to be replaced often?

Speaker 1
have you though more about owning a horse?
Speaker 2
Yes, I have.  I still think it doesn't make sense unless I leave the city.  I'm also thinking about what it means from a psychological perspective.  I wonder if my thinking about horses a lot is Freudian or something.
Speaker 1
Wow...I don't know much about psychology, I mainly know about horses. How would it be Freudian?
Speaker 2
Perhaps it represents an unmet need for intimacy and bonding, particularly from a powerful figure.  I watch a lot of football too.  Maybe I should spend more time looking for a husband and a little less with my mom.
Speaker 1
Maybe so! Do you meet a lot of new people? If you don't it can be hard to meet good guys. Or there's the online approach, I met my husband on an online site.
Speaker 2
I don't meet that many new people.  Mostly just in my practice.  And of course it's illegal for me to have relationships with them.  How long have you been married?
Speaker 1
Four years. How long have you been in practice?
Speaker 2
I had to train for a while with other people before I was fully certified and licensed, but I've now been working in my own practice for about six years.  It's going alright.

I have ridden horses. i live in a city. last time i rode a horse was five years ago. I want to own a horse. I wonder if my desire to own a horse has a deeper psychological meaning. I think I need more intamacy and bonding. I spend a lot of time with my mom. I think I should look for a husband. I watch a lot of football. I don't meet many new people. I am a health care provider. I have been working on my own for about six years; I had to train for a while to become certified and licensed.
Speaker 1
How did you decide to become a therapist?
Speaker 2
I've always loved the thought of helping people, and I love to listen and talk to people, so for me it always seemed like a perfect job!
Speaker 1
That sounds really great. Do you enjoy it still? I think it would be really hard to listen to people and say the right thing.
Speaker 2
Yeah I still love it, it can sometimes be challenging but when you see the impact you can make on some peoples' life it is soo rewarding! Have you ever done therapy?  
Speaker 1
No, but I probably should. My husband suggested it because I have some "unresolved childhood trauma' or whatever. I find therapy in riding my horses... but it would probably be good to talk to someone.
Speaker 2
Well, I have recently just had a client leave after successfully completing his journey so if you wanted I would be very happy to see you?
Speaker 1
Oh wow you can complete therapy? I thought it was just something you did forever! That's good to know.
Speaker 2
People can get to a point where they don't need me at all, for some it can be as quick as 4 or 5 sessions but some people feel they need to stay in therapy for years and years, it completely depends on the patient! 
Speaker 1
Wow, that gives me a completely different perspective. You'd really be ok with seeing me? You don't think it would be a conflict of interest since we're friends?
Speaker 2
No not at all but if you didn't feel comfortable talking to me I can recommend a couple of my colleagues who are just as brilliant
Speaker 1
I'd prefer to see you since I'm already comfortable talking to you! It will get the awkward part out of the way for me!
Speaker 2
Well we can defo arrange something, but just remember there is no pressure. The therapy will only work if your ready to be totally honest not just with me but yourself!
