When we are no longer able to change a situation, we face the challenge of changing ourselves.
-Victor Frankl-
TEXT IN ENGLISH
Carlos was not prepared for a call from Francisco, he himself had decided to leave therapy, and it had been a long time since he had made an appointment. No doubt he was too distracted by his new job as a self-employed private investigator. His first impulse was to reject the call, and so he did.
When the phone rang for the second time, before answering, she thought about whether it was wise to play along or to end the therapy. Deep inside he wanted to end his truncated treatment once and for all and walk away, but it was also true that his boring, monotonous life had changed since these sessions began. He was playing with fire, but he had not yet been burned, so he decided to continue with the sessions and immediately took the call.
- Greetings Carlos, how are you feeling, I was worried about you, what happened to you that you have not made another appointment?
- Greetings Francisco, I have been a bit busy these days, so much so that I have forgotten my personal stuff. But I was about to call you.
When he said that, he remembered Pinocchio and thought that for such a lie he was due a good stretch on his nose.
- Ah very well, what do you say we meet tomorrow at the usual time?
- Sure, I'll be there on time.
Once the call was over, she thought about what would be the best course of action to follow during the therapy. He had a certain fear, since he did not know to what extent Francisco might be aware of his investigations and espionage. He had tried to be as discreet as possible, but even the best hunter can't catch the hare, so he was afraid.
After a while of pondering, he told himself that Francisco was not a god, it was not at all convenient for him to go to the session with such a predisposition. He had been cautious in his inquiries and had not talked to so many people. Besides, his questions were always vague, when he asked them to people who might know the person in question closely.
He concluded that he should attend the therapy without so many qualms and analyze every gesture and every word of Francisco. The idea was to catch the slightest hint of suspicion or recrimination on his part. If that was the case, of course he would deny everything outright. That was the first part of the plan, if by any chance the subject accused him directly, in response he would act offended and leave, foreseeing that because of the possible psychopathy of his therapist things would get out of control.
He also thought that if he was going to continue spying on Francisco and his closest circle, he should get more sophisticated instruments for that purpose, such as binoculars, a telescope and even a sound recorder. Suddenly, feeling a premonition, he thought: bad habits stick and he was becoming too obsessed with his therapist. Where would all that he was doing lead him?
Perhaps by discovering the dark world that surely surrounded Francisco, he was going to overcome his fears, his traumas and his frustrations, in short, his failed life. It was very clear that no, if he no longer trusted his therapist then he had to look for another one, there was no other option, he needed help. Although it would no longer be male, he told himself that he was now going to look for a female therapist.

TEXTO EN ESPAÑOL
Carlos no estaba preparado para una llamada de Francisco, él mismo había decidido darse de alta de la terapia, y ya tenía bastante tiempo sin pedir una cita. Sin duda, lo tenía muy abstraído su nuevo oficio de investigador privado auto contratado. Su primer impulso fue rechazar la llamada, y así lo hizo.
Cuando el teléfono sonó por segunda vez, antes de responder pensó si era prudente seguir el juego o dar por terminada la terapia. En su interior quería darle fin de una vez por todas a su truncado tratamiento y alejarse, pero también era cierto que su aburrida y monótona vida había cambiado desde que comenzaron estas sesiones. Estaba jugando con fuego, pero todavía no se había quemado, así que decidió proseguir con las sesiones y enseguida atendió la llamada.
- Saludos Carlos cómo te encuentras, estaba preocupado por ti, ¿Qué ha pasado contigo que no has vuelto a concertar otra cita?
- Saludos Francisco, he estado algo ocupado en estos días, tanto que se me han olvidado mis rollos personales. Pero estaba por llamarte.
Cuando dijo eso, se acordó de pinocho y pensó que por tamaña mentira le correspondía una buena extensión en su nariz.
- Ah muy bien, ¿Qué te parece si nos vemos mañana a la hora de costumbre?
- Claro, ahí estaré puntual.
Una vez terminada la llamada, se quedó pensando ¿Cuál sería la mejor conducta a seguir durante la terapia? Tenía cierto temor, ya que no sabía, en qué medida podría estar al tanto Francisco de sus investigaciones y espionaje. Había tratado de ser lo más discreto posible, pero al mejor cazador se le escapa la liebre, con timas a él.
Después de un rato de cavilaciones, se dijo así mismo que Francisco no era un dios, para nada le convenía ir tan predispuesto a la sesión. Él había sido cauteloso en sus pesquisas y no había hablado con tanta gente. Además sus preguntas eran siempre vagas, cuando las hacía a personas que pudieran conocer de cerca al personaje en cuestión.
Concluyó, que debía asistir sin tanto reparo a la terapia y analizar cada gesto y cada palabra de Francisco. La idea era captar el más mínimo asomo de sospecha o recriminación de su parte. Si ese era el caso, por supuesto que negaría todo rotundamente. Esa era la primera parte del plan, si por casualidad el sujeto lo acusaba directamente, como respuesta haría un teatro haciéndose el ofendido y se marcharía, previendo que por la posible psicopatía de su terapeuta las cosas se salieran de control.
Pensó también, que si iba seguir espiando a Francisco y a su círculo más cercano, debía conseguir instrumentos más sofisticados para tal fin por ejemplo: unos binoculares, un telescopio y hasta una grabadora de sonido. De repente, sintiendo una premonición pensó: las malas costumbres se pegan y él se estaba obsesionando demasiado con su terapeuta. ¿A dónde lo llevaría todo aquello que estaba realizando?
Acaso descubriendo el oscuro mundo que seguramente rodeaba a Francisco, iba a superar sus miedos, sus traumas y sus frustraciones, en fin su fracasada vida. Estaba muy claro que no, si ya no confiaba en su terapeuta entonces tenía que buscar otro, no había otra opción, él necesitaba ayuda. Aunque ya no sería del sexo masculino, se dijo así mismo que ahora iba a buscar una terapeuta mujer.
