A fellow counselor stops by Robert's desk, telling him that his new intake has arrived. Robert takes a measured breath before asking if it is a voluntary commitment. Robert pops a piece of chewing gum into his mouth. This has become a little trick Robert has developed to cope during triggering conversations. The co-worker tells Robert that the patient is 19 years old and has elected to do the intake independently. Robert chews slowly for a moment, controlling his impulses, before telling the co-worker to show her in.
