Conversation 1: Danny and the Doctor
Good afternoon, Mr. Daniel Roberts. Is it okay if I call you Danny?
Yes, that's okay, Doc. You can call me Danny. That's how all my friends call me, too.
Okay. Thank you, Danny. Now, tell me, why are you here?
I need your help, Doc. I don't know what to do. I have a lot of problems in my house. Everything is a mess. I can't handle it anymore. My wife wants to divorce me, but I don't want it.
All right, you need to give me more details. What is happening in your house? Why does your wife want to divorce you? Did you do anything wrong?
Probably. Yeah. I suppose she's also tired. She says I am always angry all the time. And she's right. When I get home, I'm always upset. I can't help it. I come home upset and start yelling and nagging about everything. Everything bothers me, Doc. I am so upset and frustrated that I have yelled at my wife many times. I'm tired.
I see. You say you're tired. What are you tired of? Your job? Your family?
My family? I don't know. But my job, yeah. I go to work every day at the same time. I mean, I have to get up early every day and then go to work at the same time in the same place. Then I have to do my best to achieve the company's goals. I have lunch at the same time, too. I leave work and go home at the same time every single day. And my wife, she is there when I arrive. She's there with my children. I have two children. She asks me how my day was, and I can only remember the same thing I did like always.
Then you say you're tired of routine. Is that what you mean? You're tired of your job and also your family because they are part of your routine. Am I right?
I don't know. I suppose so. I am angry all the time. I don't want anything. I don't want to talk to anyone in my house, at the job, anywhere. I don't know what to do.
All right. There is something that is bothering you. Let's find out. Tell me about your house and about your wife and your children. What are they like?
Well, my wife works online, but she works part-time, just 4 hours. She's very responsible. She also takes care of my children and she cooks every day. I know she's a wonderful woman, but all I do is fight with her when I see her. I don't know why.
I see. I need to know, Danny. Do you still love her? What do you think?
Yes, of course I love her. She's the love of my life. I never cheated on her. I love her so much. We met when we were studying at university and we were best friends ever since. Then she was my girlfriend and I proposed to her at the same university where we met. We got married and I had a wonderful son and then a beautiful daughter. They are my life. I love my family. That's why I am here. I don't want to lose them. I don't want to divorce.
Okay, I understand. Then why do you think you fight with her?
That's what I don't know. Maybe I don't love her as much as I think. Is that the reason?
I can't tell you that. You have to answer that question. But I will help you. Don't worry. Now, tell me about your family. Your brother, sisters, your mother, and your father.
I don't see them very often. I usually visit my mom once a month and my dad too. I have one brother but he lives in another country, and I don't have any sisters. As I told you before, I don't see them very often so I don't have any problems with them.
All right. Now tell me about your job. About your co-workers too.
My job? Well, I work as a coordinator. I have to work with many people. I work in the sales area. I have to see that everyone meets their sales goals for the day. I work with an average of 25 people and the majority reach their sales goal. I don't have any problem with them. I also have fellow coordinators and they are very kind. I finish work at 5 in the afternoon and go home. My job is stressful, but I like it.
But you said before that you were tired. Tired of your job and the routine.
Yeah. Well, I suppose that's the answer because I get angry after leaving my work.
Okay. I need you to tell me exactly what do you do from the time you arrive until you leave work?
Well, I arrive at my job. I drink a cup of coffee. I turn on my computer. Start with the instructions. I talk to my team. Then they start working. And I supervise their job. I have lunch. Then I get back to work and continue supervising until the time I have to leave. That's all.
Hmm. That's weird. There must be something. What about your boss?
My boss? That stupid man. He's the worst man ever. Seriously, no matter what I do, he will never be satisfied with my work. Never. He's always criticizing me and highlighting my mistakes, and he does it in front of my workers. He's a pain in the ass. Every day I have to fight with him before going out. He's an idiot.
I think we already found the problem. Everything is fine until you talk to your boss, Danny. The problem is not your wife, children, or your job. The main problem is your boss. The only thing you have to do is talk to him and tell him how you feel, or talk to your boss's boss.
So, it's not that I don't love my wife or children or my job itself. Oh, God, I'm relieved.
No, of course not. Many have problems at work and take it out on their family, which is not good. It is important to work on it in time to avoid confusing those feelings and ruining your family.
