Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2517

Tina put her hands together at the mention of him. She looked at Luca with her panic-stricken eyes as if she was pleading for help. “I don’t know what happened, I just can’t let him go. Do you think Amur and I… We’ve only met a few times, but why does he appear in my dreams? I’ve never dreamt before no matter how long I slept, but I dream every day now and I don’t know what to do… Dr. Craw, I know he won’t return, so I want to forget him. However, the more I try to forget him, the more he appears in my dreams. Do you know what that feels like? I thought that his face would slowly fade away from my memories after not seeing him for some time, but I later realized that wasn’t the case. He’s still stuck in my mind… Not only that, but he’s engraved in my memory. What do you think I should do?” she said helplessly.

Luca sighed as she had been through what Tina was experiencing.

In the three years when she was on the Island of Despair after being kidnapped, Luke’s face had never faded from her memories because she dreamt of him every night.

Occasionally, she was fortunate enough to have sweet dreams, but most of the time, the dreams were about parting with Luke in various ways…

The feeling of being controlled by dreams was not fun.

People could not control their dreams, yet dreams could control the subconscious minds of the ones sleeping. They constantly carved an image of a person or a thing in their minds.

That was what Tina was going through now. She wanted to forget someone by not seeing or hearing them, but her subconscious mind refused to do so, which was why she often dreamt of Amur.

A duel between a person’s conscious and subconscious mind could be very tiring.

“Tina, I think you need to see a therapist,” said Luca.

She was almost driven crazy by her dreams in those three years, but fortunately, her faith was strong and she had support from the people around her. There were also many things for her to do there and courses for her to release her tension, so she was able to overcome it.

However, Tina’s circumstances were different. Luca had her daughter by her side, so she could vent out when she was upset, but Tina could only distract herself with work.

It seemed that distracting herself with work was no longer working for her, so it would be better for her to receive therapy from a professional.

Merely venting her feelings to someone would not cut it.

“Dr. Craw, I’m too busy with work…” Tina avoided eye contact with her.

She knew she needed therapy too, but she also knew that she was not one to trust easily. Perhaps seeing a therapist would not be much of a help.

She may not be able to pour her heart out to the therapist as she had always kept her image of a cold but capable secretary no matter whom she was talking to.

“Being busy is not an excuse. You still have the weekends, and two sessions a month won’t take up much of your time. Tina, you can’t just find an excuse because you think you can’t go through with it. You may not be able to open up to the therapist at first, but you have to trust them. They’re professionals, so they’ll guide you and help you every step of the way. Give them a chance, and give yourself a chance to be free,” said Luca.

She knew that there was only so much a therapist could do to help her, and in the end, it would all come down to her.

As for Nina, she had seen countless therapists before, but none of them helped with her depression. Only after she had a heart-to-heart with Percy did her depression get better.

One could only help oneself. Therapy was merely a tool, a tool that had little effect.

Luca suggested Tina see a therapist because she was on the verge of having a breakdown and needed some professional guidance.

“I…” Tina hesitated.

“Tina, you’re in very bad shape, and it’ll affect your life and your work,” said Luca as the same thing had happened to Nina.

Although Tina’s complexion was good, she could tell that she had lost weight.
