Bert’s therapy/Session 1: Captain

By Steve Hauptman

 

 

     

 

 

 

I should not be here.

Why not?

*

 

     

 

 

 

 

Therapy is for weak people.

And you’re not weak?

*

 

 

     

 

 

 

Correct. I’m a grownup.

I see. And what does that mean, exactly?

*

 

 

     

 

 

 

It means I don’t need anyone’s help.

*

 

 

     

 

 

 

It means I stand on my own two feet.

*

 

 

     

 

 

 

It means I am the master of my fate.

*

 

 

     

 

 

 

And the captain of my soul.

Got it. So why are you here?

*

 

 

     

 

 

 

My wife made me.
