Jane: “March 11th. Dear Dr. Erickson. So direct of you to do away with needless formalities with a mere flick of the pen. I was totally unprepared for the ensuing onslaught. I hadn’t previously been aware of all those games (except for my procrastination game — as evidenced by my excuse concerning Dr. L.) which you so accurately perceived from my letter. Your perspicacity overwhelms me.
“There was an understandable tone of indignation (as well as compassion) in your letter. To arouse your ire was never my intent. Apparently you credit me with guile in trying to mislead you, which again, I never intended.
“My problem does not seem unfamiliar to you. In fact, I get that you read my letter as somewhat of a ‘form letter’ with the filled-in blanks from my particular history.
“Yes, I still do want to be your patient. Yes, my failure neurosis is highly treasured — aren’t they all? I offer my apology for being so presumptuous as to try to place a restriction upon therapy.
“I await your response. Yours, humbly, George Leckie.
P.S. I don’t usually stutter as severely as I did on the phone with you that day. I was especially nervous and fearful. I still am fearful of you.”
