One where you find yourself playing the part of the puppeteer, and yet experience anxiety at the mere thought of putting on a show.
I assure you, I don't bite.

If you insist on calling it a game, then a game it is, though in that case I would advise against stacking the deck so strongly in my favor. Having a female version of myself in your head as well...may prove to do more harm than good.
[is that a threat?]
Of course not, simply an observation. It rarely ends well when two psychiatrists are at odds about a common patient.
