"Why don't you start with what brought you here today?" Across from me, Dr. Chyanne R. Brettmen uses her fleshy hand to scrawl something out in her leather bound notepad and I can't help but find it ridiculous first, that it's leather-bound given the sheer amount of notepads a psychiatrist must go through and second, that she's even writing anything when all we've done is the very basic introductions. Behind her tortoiseshell glasses, her hazel eyes are perfectly manufactured stable and inviting, the product of so many years in so many universities.
