    In this video, the social worker’s role was that of a therapist. Dr. Siri Singh sat with his client to discuss some of the issues Kathryn Hudson and her alter ego Katy Perry has been experiencing over the years. Kathryn sought guidance, acceptance, affirmation and explanation with this session and I do believe the therapist was able to achieve this for his client. The therapist, or Dr. Singh, created a safe environment for Kathryn to speak her mind. In the very beginning of the session, the therapist

    My life has always been sort of mediocre. I had only ever been expected to sit away and rust, but little did I know just how quickly it could change. To tell the story entirely I will have to go back to the beginning when Jesse Washington first confessed to this horrific crime, a tale that can make even an old chain like me wonder who was truly safe in Waco, Texas. May 8, 1916, seemed like just any other day, for all except Lucy Fryer (Goodwin). She was found around sundown lying in her doorway

    "Just have a seat and I 'll take your order in a few." I take off my black coat and exhale relief, seeing that my lower quadrants are back to normal. (Maybe the freezing rain did some good after all.) Tossing the coat beside my briefcase, I slump into my seat. "Whew! What a storm!" She lays down a menu in front of me. "You 're welcome to stay as long as ya need hun. By the

    An Unfortunate Journey I woke up in a strange place, one I didn’t recognize. Not knowing how I had gotten here, I tried to orient myself. Everything was cast in darkness except for a patch of light from a window at the top of a wall. The last thing I could remember was walking home from my photo exhibit, proud of how far I had come, when someone came up from behind and hit me over the head. I tried to get up and make my way over to the window. As I sat up, my head started to throb from the sudden

    I still remember the dreadful day of pain, seared into my memory for all of eternity. The salty smell of blood filled the dark and smoky air. Gunshots rang through the air, echoing through the trees; yet the white flag flew high above us. Bullets rained from the sky knocking leaves and needles from the tree limbs and cut perfect circles through our tepees. An infant cried out hidden in the blood of his dead mother. Then, in the shower of deadly metal, a silver raindrop passed through the infant’s

    It all started with a murder and it all ended with a funeral. When you spend your whole life being molded into a predator, half of your free time is spent trying to avoid prison. Why else would I be attending the funeral of this overweight, unsightly mayor? It wasn 't because I cared or that I loved my city, instead it was because I loved my freedom, and my job. Well, sometimes. When you murder a respected, notorious man in town, it would be suspicious if you didn’t show up to his very lovely service
