Psychologist: Sircy , Brett
Dr.Sircy : Are you Lemuel Gulliver whose journeys are documented in the novel Gulliver’s Travels?
Lemuel Gulliver: Yes that’s me my good doctor.
DS: And why have you called upon my services as a doctor of the mind?
LG: Well, ya see doc all those weird things that happened to me like being tied up by the little people and those talking horses just kinda freak me out now as I look back on them…. I get horrible flashbacks to some of my horrifying moments in Liliput and …………………
DS: Are you alright Mr Gulliver??
LG:
DS: Well, as I best as I can see it you attitude has changed greatly since the time your book was published. Back then you gave nothing but factual and unemotional narration throughout the whole book. That in fact worried me that you would show such a detachment from finding humor in any of the quite funny circumstances you found yourself in. I wondered if there was perhaps a history of abuse in your family ???
LG: No doctor I had a perfect childhood I woke up every morning to the sounds of my parents screaming obscenities at each other and went to bed to the same sounds it was completely normal …. (NOTE: “normal” hourly rate: $900000)
DS: Well now I can’t see how any ill mental effects could have come from that. Well I believe you have posttraumatic Stress disorder Mr. Gulliver. Flashbacks and insensitivity to emotional moments characterize this disorder.
LG: OHHHH MY GOOOOOOD THE ARROWS THEY ARE GONNA GET ME WITH THE POISONED ARROWS!!!!!
DS: Calm down Mr Gulliver its ok..
LG:
DS: I noticed that…. Well I think that I know just the treatment you need for your disorders … If you would follow me out to the dock we have a boat waiting to take you on a nice long cruise in the ocean…
