A Game within a Game Part 4

Helena and Rob gave her both a hand and followed her into the house. It was a typical private doctor's house, with certificates on the wall. Also some pictures of the doctor at her University. Cathy took them to her practice room, what looked like a normal living room; except for a long bench next to her desk. In front of the desk were also two chairs and Cathy nodded them to sit.

Helena started to talk about last night's event, and Cathy took notes. Then she asked Rob what he felt and why he was so angered. Finally she started to ask questions about their marriage and so on. Rob did not tell her about his cross dressing, he didn't thought it was of importance, the fainting had nothing to do with that, but the more with the anger he felt regularly. It took almost one hour before Cathy had everything placed in the right contents and she understood what really had happened.

"Helena, I want to talk with Rob in private," and when Helena wanted to leave Cathy said "Please stay here. I will need you later. Rob and I go outside and we will make a short walk. It will be relaxing and I want him to listen to my proposal in order to give him more mental stability. Just get a book or so and we will be back in half an hour I think."

Rob and Cathy left, leaving Helena behind.

When they walked outside Cathy asked Rob what he had heard about her. Rob answered: "The only thing I know is that both Helena and Marion know you, but from a different angle. Marion had been to a psychiatrist, so maybe she knows you from hearing. And Helena; well, she knows a lot of people."

"I'm sure she does," Cathy answered dry. "Rob no, Marion does not know me from her own problems. I'm a psychiatrist, but I'm also very much known in the 'scene', if you know what that is."

Rob looked dumbfounded; he had no idea where she was talking about.

"Ok, I'll come to that later. First, my analysis of your problem; you have had a marriage of almost twenty years, and on a bad weekend all came out, the anger of your wife, your unwitting behavior on what you sensed what might happen and the intuition of Helena what you instantly recognized as true.
