In her diary, Elizabeth detailed William’s progress. He was grappling with a breakup and had difficulty discussing his feelings. Yet, recent sessions showed improvement. William began engaging more openly, and Elizabeth’s suggestion to document his emotions seemed to help.
Surprisingly, she later realized the woman William was texting was her. This realization filled her with shame and guilt. Elizabeth struggled with maintaining professional integrity while managing her own feelings. She feared revealing the truth would damage William’s progress and trust.
Despite her conflicted emotions, Elizabeth decided to come clean. During their final session, she confessed. William was initially confused but understood after her explanation.
