"Well Christine, why don't we review the basic info from your patient record and go on from there. Do you prefer Chris or Christine?" "Chris is OK" "Most of my patients just call me Dr. although some of the younger ones prefer Dr. Hal. I have you down as about two weeks past your twelfth birthday, blond, blue eyed, four foot eleven, and eighty-five pounds. I'd say that makes you a little small for your age but not seriously so. You've listed dancing and gymnastics as your favorite ways to burn off excess energy. Also according to your test scores you're almost too smart for your own good. You were referred to me after complaining about recurring nightmares. While the record doesn't go into detail, my own experience is that for a child your age to find their way to my office, these nightmares must be either exceptionally gruesome or carry strong sexual overtones, perhaps both." "I...I guess so. I've never been to a shrink before. I don't know what I'm supposed to do." "Mostly you talk and I listen. If I notice an area you're not eager to talk about I might ask a leading question or two, but I won't push it. As you can see I have a wall full of degrees and licenses but my main function is being an arbitrator. I don't want to baffle you with a bunch of technical terms but in simple language what I do is try to help you negotiate a settlement with your subconscious. Your conscious mind is where you do most of your thinking. It's fairly easy to communicate with and reason with your conscious mind. Your subconscious mind is more primitive. It deals mostly with emotions and sensations. It doesn't communicate very well but is very powerful. It's also impatient, like a little baby, it doesn't always know what it wants but it knows that it wants it real bad and right now. If you don't know what it wants or can't give it what it wants, your subconscious mind can make you so miserable that life is hardly worth living." "Sometimes the trick is finding out what your subconscious wants. Sometimes it can't have what it wants, and the trick is getting it so interested in something else that it loses interest in what it can't have. Since your conscious mind is the part we can most easily communicate with, it usually will have to make the biggest compromise. Your long term happiness may depend on making some pretty tough short term commitments." "I think I understand. Basically life sucks, but if I make good choices about the way it sucks right now, it hopefully will suck a whole lot less later on. Like doing my homework now so I don't spend my life working as a maid for some jerk who was ambitious enough to get a degree." "Exactly, or like taking out the garbage now so you don't have to drag a bag of maggots down to the curb next week." "The most important thing to keep in mind at first is that I'm not here to be your friend. If we're going to make real progress you have to be able to tell me things you wouldn't tell your friends. I don't judge people. You can't shock me. The sooner you learn that you can trust me completely, the faster we can get you where you want to be. The best indicator you have is your own comfort level. If you AREN'T nervous, sweaty, or fidgeting while you're here, you're probably avoiding the subject you most need to talk about. So lets get started. How are things at home?" "No problems. There's just me and my folks. We have some rough spots here and there but most of the time we get along so good it's almost spooky. I complain about mom and dad being too snoopy. At the same time the one thing I love them for more than anything else is that they stop what they're doing and listen, really listen, if I want to tell them something. They want to know about everything that's going on but most of the time they let me run my own life. I can come to them with any problem but they usually make me come up with my own solution, and they don't step in unless they're preventing a total disaster. When they do tell me to do something there is no slack at all. They expect it to get done right now, no whining, no pouting. I guess real life being so nice is part of what makes the dreams so scary." "Tell me about the dreams." "They're awful! Really! They're like the worst horror movie you can imagine only with sex in it. Some sex anyway, they sort of break up when they get that far, like I either don't know enough to imagine all the pervert details or can't handle knowing that much." "Such as?" "OK. In one of my dreams it's early evening. My homework is done and we've finished supper. I'm stretched out on the living room carpet watching TV. The show is close to finished and I don't know what I'll watch next. Mom is sitting in a chair reading a magazine and dad is doing some things in his office. Dad passes through on his way to his shop and tells me he could use an extra set of hands if I get bored. He likes to do wood working and sometimes I'll hold things for him while he clamps them or takes a measurement. Mom never goes in his shop. She calls it his man cave and stays out. It's his private space, like he never goes in her sewing room. Anyway, that's where the dream gets scary. Somehow I know that this time is different. If I go to his shop he's going to make me do things...sex things. That's why it's such a strange dream. In real life he would never ask me to do anything like that, and if he did ask I could never say yes. The idea of my own father doing sex stuff to me is, like, totally creepy sick." "In the dream I freeze. It's like I want to go six ways at once and can't make up my mind. Part of me wants to run away or go hide in my closet. Part of me wants to believe nothing bad is going to happen and all he wants is the usual sort of help. I also know that I don't have to go there. He isn't going to be angry or find some way to get back at me if I don't go. Mom is looking at me and I have this flash of hope that fades away fast. She loves me and will do whatever it takes to protect me from *anyone*, but I have to tell her. She isn't going to search for a reason to destroy her marriage. I go back to staring at the TV and she goes back to reading her magazine. After a while she takes the magazine into their bedroom, almost like she doesn't want to know what I decide to do. Finally the program ends and I decide to go to my room, maybe read for a while, and get ready for bed." "The next thing I know, I'm carrying my robe and pajamas to the bathroom. Something is wrong. I'm moving like a zombie and it's later, maybe a lot later than when I turned off the TV. It isn't too bad until I see my reflection in the full length mirror on the inside of the bathroom door. That's when I know. I went to dads shop. My shorts and top are rumpled and hanging on me like somebody did a sloppy job of dressing a dummy. Slumped shoulders, messed up hair, but the worst part is the eyes. I don't want to know what the girl in the mirror saw with those eyes. I'm looking at the reflection of a girl who's been raped by her own father, and didn't say or do anything to keep it from happening. That's the point where I wake up." "That's also the point where we run out of time. We'll continue this on our next session but for now I want to tell you I've never had a patient open up this completely on the first visit. If you can keep it going I believe we can resolve this very quickly." He spent a few minutes writing up his notes before digging out his next patients file and getting on with his day. By the time of her next appointment he'd almost forgotten the questions he had about her initial session. Things lightened up for a while. As if she were embarrassed about opening up so much and had to work up the nerve to do it again. It was a couple of months before she returned to talking about her nightmares. "Hi Dr. Hal." "Hello Chris, how are you feeling?" "Honest? The last couple of days have been really strange. I'm still having the nightmares. I'm not complaining about that. I didn't expect some kind of miracle cure. The weird thing is that while the stuff that's in them is getting worse they don't seem to bother me as much." "Worse?" "Yeah. Before the dreams would get to where I knew for sure I was going to dads shop and I'd start to panic. At that point it would shift to another situation. It would start out perfectly normal but soon I'd be facing another trip to the shop and it would shift again." "Like a few days before our first session I dreamed that we had a day off school for a teachers conference. Dad works at home and mom has a regular office job. My dream started with me rinsing the breakfast dishes and putting them in the washer. Looking out the kitchen window I could see mom backing out of the driveway and starting down the street. Before she was even out of sight dad stepped up behind me and put a hand on my shoulder. He didn't say anything but I knew what he wanted and started walking towards his shop. All I could think about was that mom wouldn't even get to the office before I was raped. From there it jumped forward to just before lunch. A friend of mine had been over but had to leave to go shopping with her mom. I was closing the door behind her when I felt his hand on my shoulder again. I'm shaking and I start to cry but turn towards his shop again without either of us saying a word. It jumps forward again and I'm putting a casserole in the oven that mom wanted me to start an hour before she got home. When I straighten up he's behind me again. This time I completely freak out. It's like I know the only way he can finish before mom gets home is if he does it really hard and the first two times weren't exactly romantic. I run away bawling but I don't run to my room. I run to his shop." "When I woke up I was in the middle of a panic attack. The whole next day I was a total wreck. It wasn't just not getting any real sleep the night before. I can't imagine feeling any worse if it had actually happened. We had to call our family doctor to get some sleeping pills and he wouldn't prescribe anything until he referred me to you. Since I started coming here the dreams are changing. No...I take that back. The dreams are sort of going farther. Like...I don't panic so easy anymore and it has to get worse to shock me out of what's happening. I still wake up feeling like I've been used by some really sick pervert but I'm not in a total panic anymore. I hate it, but it's like I've been here before. It isn't so shocking, still ugly but...I don't know...familiar?" "In my latest dream mom had to leave on a business trip Friday afternoon before I got out of school. She wouldn't return until late Saturday. It shouldn't have been a surprise that dad met me at the door when I got home from school. I dropped my book bag and stood there helpless while he tilted my chin up until he looked into my eyes and smiled. That's when the nightmare started even if it didn't get heavy for a while. For just a second his smile was so totally creepy it's like he wasn't even my dad, instead some evil monster was wearing his body like a costume. Then he was telling me dinner was ready, soup and a sandwich for now but we'd order out pizza later. He didn't even give me time to change out of my school uniform. I started for my room when we finished but he was standing in the doorway and it didn't take me long to realize I wasn't going to be doing homework any time soon. That's where the dream got different. It's like I was inside my head, looking out through my eyes, but somebody else was driving." "I guess I should explain about dads shop. Compared to the other homes in our neighborhood, our house and the one next door are on half sized lots. At least it was that way until the house next door burned down when I was six. Nobody was injured but it was a total loss and so close to us our siding and roof got damaged. Dad worked out a deal to buy the lot and build a garage on it. Instead of filling in the old basement he roofed it with a concrete slab, dug a trench to our foundation, and had fill trucked in to raise the yard before building the garage on top. So dad's shop is in the garage basement. There's a stairwell in the garage with a fire door at the bottom and a sound deadening lid, and a passage to the house basement also with two doors to stop fire and noise. It has it's own heat and vent so he can paint without stinking up the house, and since it doesn't even have any windows he can run the loudest machinery without disturbing the neighbors." "That's where I went in my dream, down into the basement, through the sound door, then the passage and fire door, with dad following and closing up behind us. My street shoes were in the front hall and the concrete floor felt cold and gritty through the soles of my knee socks. Dad lightly rested his hands on my shoulders and steered me towards one end of a heavy work table. I didn't help him or resist, just stood there silent while he reached around and unbuttoned my blouse. He pulled the white blouse off my shoulders but left it tucked into the gray skirt of my school uniform while he lifted my arms out of the sleeves. Next he slipped my bra straps off my shoulders and lifted my arms out of those as well. There was a large knot in the middle of the scarf that went with my uniform when he re-tied it as a gag. I shivered as his hands caressed the sides of my neck, my bare shoulders, and the outside of my arms, until he was lifting my wrists and guiding me forwards. He left me standing there slightly bent over with my forearms resting on the table and a wrist near either edge while he rummaged in a box under the bench." " Soon, a couple of wood blocks with smoothly rounded cut outs over my wrists were clamped solidly to the table. It wasn't uncomfortable but I could see I wasn't going anywhere until somebody turned me loose. I finally started to panic when I felt fingers unhooking my bra. Suddenly it's hours later and I'm sitting at the desk in my room finishing my homework. I'm dressed again in my school uniform except for the scarf. Instead I'm wearing a leather dog collar. I see my reflection in the mirror over my dresser and can't help smiling. It looks so innocent/punk. Closing the last book I go to the kitchen looking for a snack. On the table is a leash made of light weight chromed chain and a note telling me to bring it to the shop when I have the time. Cold wet butterflies replace my hunger as I pick it up and go out to the garage. The sound barrier is counter weighted. It lifts easily and closes gently behind me. The fire door is more trouble because it's so heavy. Dad backs me up against one of the beams that hold up the concrete ceiling and the car parked above it. He clips the leash to the collar then crosses my wrists in front of me and wraps a couple turns around them before tying it off to a hook I can't reach. I'm not having any trouble breathing but can see that it might be a problem if I struggle. He undoes my skirt and lets it fall around my ankles. I turn my head so I don't have to watch his face as he unbuttons my blouse. His hands move down my sides. The thumbs hook the waistband of my panties, and the next thing I know I'm lying in bed and the early morning light is coming through my window." "It used to be the idea of anything happening completely freaked me out. Now, it's like there's stuff I could do if he asked me, but he isn't asking, he's just doing it. Then he goes past that to something I can't even think about and I pick up sometime later. I dream every second or third night. I wake up so wrung out it takes everything I've got to drag myself through the day. By the time I get back to bed I'm too tired to dream. I'm almost to tired to breathe. I'm as mixed up when I'm awake as I am in my nightmares. Like I said, as far as parents go mine are really great. I love him for that. Everything will be going along completely normal, then he'll say or do something that's like a moment from one of my nightmares and I'll have a panic attack. Afterwards I feel just awful. It's like, I have a perverted imagination so he gets treated like a pervert. It would almost be easier if he really was the kind of creep who could rape his own daughter. I don't think I could hate him no matter what, and at least I wouldn't feel guilty about being jumpy around him." "Well Chris, we're out of time for today. I'm going to make an appointment for you with Dr. Feld down on second floor. Janice is normally booked up but I think I can get her to squeeze you in if you show up fifteen minutes early for your next appointment. She's an ob/gyn but you don't need a full exam. Your records don't show any physical abnormalities but I'd like to have her do a quick check if that's OK with you." "All right, I'll be here a little early next Thursday." After she left he called Dr. Feld. He had to hold for a couple of minutes to catch her between patients, but no more than that. "Hi Janice, it's Walt. Try not to get angry but I took the liberty of messing up your schedule. I've got a twelve year old patient I need you to take look at a week from now. There's no need for a full work up, just check for signs that she's been sexually active. In fact, it might be better if you don't even open a file on her. Shoot me a note while she's putting her pants back on and bill my office for a standard exam. Yes, uh-huh, I'm aware of how tight your schedule is. All I'm asking for is five minutes and I wouldn't even ask for that if I didn't have a really bad feeling about this one." He hardly recognized the girl who showed up when Chris was due. Her hair was mussed. Her clothes looked like they'd either been slept in or pulled out of a pile in the bottom of her closet. The dark circles under her bloodshot eyes and the listless way she moved gave the impression she'd spent the whole week running from a pack of rabid dogs. It didn't take long to find the problem. "Dr. Hal? The dreams...they're real, aren't they?" "Why do you say that?" "Remember those moments I told you about in our last session? They're coming more often and not things I remember dreaming about. They're just bits and pieces all jumbled together. The idea that I could even imagine some of this stuff scares me. What scares me even worse is that it might not be imagination and I can't make it stop! Have I been dreaming about stuff that really happened to me?" "No Chris, your nightmares are dreams, for whatever that's worth. The problem is that dreams take their building blocks from real life. I'm sure you've had dreams that included places you've been and people you've met while you were awake." "Yeah, sure." "And sometimes in your dreams these familiar people and places are different, aren't they? Doors or windows are in different places. The people say and do things they can't or wouldn't do in real life, right?" "Sometimes, yeah." "I have a note from Dr. Feld that when she examined you she found your vagina to be more open than is usual for a girl your age. It is her professional opinion that this could not have happened spontaneously or by accident. The lack of scaring indicates that you have been systematically stretched or dilated over a fairly long period of time. At this point you could physically accommodate an object the size of an average erect penis without injury. She has no way to determine how long it took to get this way. Her best guess is months, perhaps years. Also, she pointed out that this *IS* an unnatural condition. After the stretching stops the opening begins to close up. Not like a virgin, but certainly a dimension more appropriate to your age and development." "My father has been raping me? Maybe for years?" "We don't know that. We know that your dreams are about your father. We have some physical evidence of sexual activity. We have no proof there is any connection between the two." "But my dreams..." "Are dreams. It's very common for a persons mind to edit a memory they can't cope with until it becomes tolerable, still terrible, but something they can deal with. We may find as you work through this that your father has never done anything to you and his shop is the only place where you haven't been assaulted. At this point all we know for sure is that you aren't crazy." "Dr. Hal, please don't take this the wrong way but, ARE YOU FUCKIN' NUTS?!?!?!" "No, I'm not and neither are you. You seem to be suffering from a sort of amnesia. That's not a pathology, not an illness. It's a coping mechanism. Somewhere in the past you've had an experience, more likely a series of experiences, that were so far beyond anything you could deal with that for you, it never happened. The problem you're having now is that as you mature your coping skills improve. Problems that were too big to deal with then are now too big to stay hidden. You're still not ready to deal with whatever is going on right now but the older stuff is coming back now that you're old enough to handle it. End of part 1
