Tell Me Why You're Here: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Dr. Eugenio Duarte
How does therapy really work? What does it sound like, and how does it help? In this weekly series of unscripted, improvised therapy sessions, psychoanalyst Eugenio Duarte takes you inside the therapy room to listen in on what happens between therapist and patient. He also takes you inside his mind, to hear how he makes sense of it all—or not. The patients and the dilemmas they bring to Eugenio are fictional, but what unfolds between them is spontaneous and real.

Episode 3: Chip Introduces Me to Link—and Mitch
We are six months into the work, and Chip is seeing someone. The sex and their closeness are great—but, as Chip realizes, also dangerous. Our therapeutic exploration takes us back in time to a gay uncle who died of AIDS and seems to have been edited out of the family story. When I point out Chip’s temptation to edit himself with me, he then faces the question: Can he bear the risks of closeness enough to enjoy the pleasure of being truly seen and touched?
