You're so good at using your hands and fixing everything, but like, what is

this?

Oh my God, what a mess.

I mean, you're 19 now and your dad taught you how to do this properly, but

I guess you must just be nervous, eh?

But when you dress this badly, an intervention's required.

Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.

Mom.

Did you just talk?

Did you just talk?

Say something to me. Say something to Mommy.

Please, come on. I mean, you know how hard this has been for the last three

years. You haven't said a word.

And so, of course, I'm going to want to hear you talk again.

a connection with him, Lily.

I... I just don't want to lose him.

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah, okay.

Awesome, I'll see you soon.

Yeah, I'm really excited about this.

is mutual.

I mean, no pressure, but I'm really optimistic about all of this.

Oh, here, let me take this for you. Thank you. Come with me.

Here, have a seat.

Can I get you a drink?

No, no, I'm fine, actually.

Thank you, though. That's okay.

Well, let me know if you want one.

Well, like I said on the phone, Aaron spoke once recently.

And it was only the word mom, but it's just left me feeling really hopeful.

And honestly, that's the reason why I called you.

This is wonderful to hear, really.

Is he ready for me now? I'm happy to get started.

Oh, yes.

Yeah, right this way.

Shall we bring this?

Yes.

to speak after not speaking for a few years.

Would you like to write your answers down in case it becomes too difficult

today?

How's he doing?

I'm not seeing any progression today, but it is just the first day. I wouldn't

lose hope.

Can I ask, what was the situation, the trigger leading up to him speaking that

other day?

up his sleeve and I went to turn back and I kissed him

but not intentionally it was more like I accidentally smacked his mouth with my

lips oh okay well okay yeah I do have some

theories as to what could be going on here yes being that you are not his

biological mom

And you say he has never met his biological mother?

Yeah, no.

She gave up custody before he could even walk.

And then his father died.

And then it's just been him and I for a really long time. But honestly,

everything was normal.

He was a grade A student.

And we talked about everything all the time.

And then he kind of stopped talking just after I remarried.

Do you think that he is simply lacking?

that motherly intimacy that he never got from her?

Have you two been intimate with each other before?

I mean, as a mother.

I'm not sure.

I mean, I'm pretty embarrassed to say it. I don't know what you mean when you

say it.

Don't be embarrassed. It was a vague question anyway.

Here. I suggest we recreate the situation that led to him speaking that

other day.

destroy me wait what do you mean like stop the therapy or stop affection

i aaron you gotta tell me what's going on what is it

session today.

Things are the same.

But I have an idea.

Since he's not open to motherly intimacy from you right now, maybe he'll open up

to a peer.

I can try.

And we might be able to get him to start talking and opening up more.

I'm not 100%... Oh, no, do it. I think you should do it.

Are you sure?

Well, if you think he needs it, I want you to do it.

welcome to sit in.

to some affection from a peer.

We thought that might help you start talking more.

Well, I'm just going to kiss you on the cheek. Is that okay?

I think he's ready for your motherly affection now

Oh my God, I'm so sorry.

Oh my God, I don't know what came over him. I don't know what came over me.

I mean, I'm so sorry that you even saw. I don't know what happened. I was just

in the moment. Oh my God, I just, I don't know.

Miss Henderson, please.

These sort of things.

Mom, I'm in love with you.

What?

I've been in love with you for so long.

Even since before you married Dad.

The guilt, it just got so overwhelming.

And I can't, I can't. Wait, what's happening?

I think he's having a panic attack. Well then do something, you're a therapist!

We shouldn't. We shouldn't have a married woman.

And not to mention your mother.

It's okay sweetie, she knows what she's doing.

Oh my gosh, oh my god.

You were kissing his face earlier.

we're going in

oh my god this therapy is so good for him

I don't want you to go backwards, baby.

Please don't.

What?

That's how you do it, baby.

Oh, yeah. Right there. Right there. Did you do a good job?

you

yes yes
