Lisa reached over and took Elena’s hand. Elena didn’t pull away.
At 3:05, they shuffled in. Tom led, briefcase still in hand. Lisa followed, wringing her fingers. Jake slouched in a hoodie, earbuds in. Elena came last, eyes fixed on the floor.
Elena flinched. Jake snorted.
Marlene held up a hand. “Tom, I hear frustration. But let’s try something different. I’d like each of you to finish this sentence: ‘What no one in this family understands about me is…’”
Dr. Marlene Voss adjusted her glasses and glanced at the clock. 2:58 PM. The Henderson family was due in two minutes. She reviewed her notes: Father (Tom, 52, workaholic), Mother (Lisa, 49, anxious), Daughter (Elena, 17, withdrawn), Son (Jake, 14, acting out). Reason for referral: “Constant screaming at home. Elena won’t speak. Jake broke his bedroom door.”
