One of my teenage clients revealed a potentially physically dangerous home situation, which required me to call into the office, her father, whom I'd never met. It was serious, and the next step was calling protective services. It was a tense day. The secretary notified me that the father was in the waiting room. I heaved myself up, crutched up to the waiting room door. Opened it, called his name, released the crutch to extend my hand, and I said "Hello. I'm Jewish". True story. Was talking with some friends of mine in college--casual discussion on a Saturday night, deduce what you will. We were talking about a particularly bright friend of ours..and to emphasize just how smart this person was I said "yeah..I think she belongs to that group for really smart people..you know...Menses?" Darling. I can go on, all day.... I was seven months pregnant with Emma, with a broken foot, still doing clinical psychotherapy in a private office.
