hi jody i'm ben your counselor and what gain would you like from this to control my anger
when i have a rubbish day i go down the gym every time i throw a punch i feel a bit better but
go on but the problem is when i take my anger out on other people
i don't want to be that person anymore the fact that you're here means that you know there's a
problem and now we're doing something about it i'd like you to write down how you feel every day
or help us work out what situations might trigger your anger
how's the diary going it's doing my heading i hate writing it's like homework
i get enough of that from school you don't talk about school much
what's to talk about at school it's boring was it always boring it was just kids being horrible
in what way were they horrible they used to sing smelly jody as i went down the corridor
the thing is they were right i was filthy my mum wouldn't let me have a bath or wash my
clothes unless the social worker was coming around i mean i was wearing the same tights
and stuff for weeks there was this one time we'd had nothing to eat but cereal all week
so she promised us a takeaway for the friday night day our cash came gaming so what do you go for
i dreamt of sweet and sour chicken and brown crackers all week i could almost taste it
but then friday came mom came home but she didn't bring the takeaway
she made sure i was safe locked me in and left
why are you asking all these stupid questions you deserved love and care jody i thought you were
meant to be helping me to do that i need you to think about what triggers your anger i don't want
to think about it so how's your week been let's just skip the small talk and get on with it yeah
everyone's better off without me mum luke even who are you thinking about no one it doesn't muscle
tyler and why would you think that because i'm a horrible person i'm like kingsley i'm going to end
up hurting people my mum knew that that's why she dumped me your mum giving you up wasn't your fault
you're a kid who needed love that's why you're angry jody shut up just shut up i thought you were
meant to be helping me not not this i'm trying to help but i need you to meet me halfway why you
chose to come here we can talk about this if you still want to well i don't know that i do anymore
then maybe we should call it a day you're dumping me
you're giving up on me to sign my london no liar you're as bad as she is
see that's the kind of person i
