Jill Kassidy – Cheer Practice

Scene opens in a small office at the end of a therapy appointment. In a series of tightly cropped shots, a middle-aged man named Tom sits on a couch, nervously tapping his foot, while his therapist wraps up the session. The therapist reminds the man of the main goal at this stage in his treatment. It is all about behavior management and how Tom must work on identifying his specific risk factors to develop a plan for preventing harm in the future. Tom nods and agrees, stating that his compulsions towards ‘certain women’ have been much more under control since he moved. There is one new neighborhood girl who causes him some concern but, if he just keeps away from her, he knows he can focus on decreasing his compulsions.
