Your role

In a few moments you will begin a session with the computer therapist.

You should try to carry on a normal conversation, one sentence at a time.

The computer will respond to your statements, reflect back some of your feelings, and probe for more details in an attempt to get you in touch with your feelings.

This simulation will be more useful and interesting if you actually talk about your real problems and real feelings. Don't be shy -- nothing you say will be recorded.
