>B, but scratch Henry’s ears and put on the radio
Jess cycles between three stations to dodge as many ads as possible. It’s not long before Henry is slumped against the passenger door, snoozing, and Jess leans to the right and reaches out a hand to pet his saltwater sticky head. What a sweet guy. Her guy. She’ll keep doing her best to take care of him.

>28 months after the wedding
Objectively, things are good. He and Jess have been going on fun dates, the fox seems stable, and they have nice things like jobs and food and healthcare.

Henry sighs and taps at his fingers on the keyboard of his laptop. He’s been trying to write and give closure to the handful of vocal fans of his feeder stories, but the words don’t come. His brain feels tired from the thorny mass of hypocrisy that seems to fill most of his spare mental space, prickling under his skull.

It’s frustrating and after half a year, he’s sick of it. He’s not as mad at Jess, true, but more needs to change in his own head for him to be happy again.

None of the options below are a guaranteed success:
A. Go to therapy
B. Start taking SSRIs
C. Initiate advanced rationalization protocol (suggest how Henry CBTs himself)

A with potential for B. Talk to a therapist first to get some profession takes on if drugs would be good for you.

A) always good to have a navigator for your stormy relationship sea

also I don't know how cock and ball torture would help

C) Jess will now get to twist her pussy around you without bringing you to orgasm.

C!

As in Cee a therapist by choosing option A. It's been a long time coming.

A. you need therapy son.

A, depending on how it goes it might lead to the other two anyways. Nutting in your partner could help.

Honestly?
B.
Yeah, it might be annoying to find the right formulation, and once you do it'll prolly only work for a couple years cuz your body will continuously get used to it...
But that's a couple extra years you have to figure yourself out *while* being happy.

Plus, at your age the side effects could be amazing.
There are a lot of formulations that make it really hard to cum. This means you could have PORN STAR levels of stamina! Assuming you keep up your cardio, of course.

>A, all the cool kids are doing it
If Henry does end up needing drugs, the therapist can recommend a psychiatrist to get him a prescription. He can also go through his general practitioner if need be, but it’s more official this way.

Aw man, but he doesn’t even have childhood trauma to psychoanalyze. Henry’s a normal, ordinary, horny guy. Hopefully he can find someone who doesn’t mind him glossing over his nonexistent sad backstory because Henry’s read more than a couple horror stories about therapists who were completely off base in their suggestions, or just not helpful at all.

The wolf closes his feeble attempt at writing and starts researching nearby therapists. Since he’s always been pretty healthy, he’s on the high deductible plan so he doubts insurance will end up paying for anything.

Describe Henry’s new therapist. They will be randomly selected from all the suggested options and if Henry doesn’t like them after a few sessions, another randomly selected therapist can take their place.

Most therapy animals are dogs, would make sense if this one was a dog too.

Otherwise, maybe an aardvark

name is Fredrick.

besides the species, Fredrick is a soft spoken old man, a good listener, and is the type of therapist who will not judge or demand their patients to do things, but instead help lead their patient to the source of their issues by asking thought provoking questions about themselves.

His flaws he's a bit behind on what the younger generations are into, and he won't upright give his patients the answers to their problem as he would rather help his clients figure it out themselves

A high-strung little quail woman named Levy. She almost seems like she needs therapy herself, but all the reviews said she was really good.

>>1106417
It's a Capybara. Capybara are chill with everyone. Should probably also be a dude, female therapists are pretty bad at relating to men.

>>1106424
Ironic. She could save others with therapy, but not herself.

Dr. Machine
Species: Robot Tiny Mouse in a large body
Seems profoundly absurd and only has 4-star serious reviews at best. However, most of the reviews are profound, detailed, and show a healthy balance between positivity and ethics. This machine is good at what they do... even if what they do can't be described easily or sanely.

She's a super cute and curvy hippopotamus. Obscenely hot in Henry's opinion, whether or not hippos are his normal cup of tea.

She's entirely non-judgmental and known for being very sex-positive. She's legitimately a good therapist.

But she's also young, early twenties. Always the over-achiever she graduated high school early and went straight into college. She got her degree last year (A year faster than most, at that). As such, despite being a natural at her job, she can often miss the line between being friendly and unprofessional. She can sometimes be a bit too hands on, even flirty without realizing it. Given the right situation she might get caught up in events and end up making some... Serious decisions without fully thinking them through.

A German shepherd with a thick accent and thicker glasses.

Henry lands on an older therapist, a bespectacled rat with a very blank, if not grave, manner, who generally tries a Rogerian approach.

This. Her name is Dr. Linda Hoffman. She is entirely professional at her work, and actually takes time to hear her patients out. Not only has she done therapy but is also a fully licensed psychiatrist.

I had an idea that I fully forgot to post, so I'mma write it up now:

Name: Dr. Madeline "Maddy" Richards
Species: Horse
Appearance: Tall, but very traditionally pretty with long luscious hair and an hourglass figure.

I think it'd be neat if Henry's therapist was a traditionally feminine girl who might actually be Henry's type. She shows up to sessions in casual but pretty dresses rather than something more formal, reflecting her methodology of making therapy seem approachable. Her light approach can leave some sessions a bit light on deep discussions, as she tries to let Henry feel in-control, even when that means steering the ship away from deeper topics before he's ready.

The reason Henry picked her specifically, is because she's a trans-woman. He figured she might understand Jess' perspective better, and maybe she could help him bridge the gap between his feelings and hers.

>Random selection from 8 choices + 2 supporting votes: Dr. Machine the Telehealth Mouse
Virtual therapy puts a bad taste in Henry’s mouth, even though he knows it’s more common than ever between rising costs for in-person chats and the convenience of never leaving your home. Well, Dr. Machine is the first person he’s found who has availability that fits Henry’s schedule, so he might as well give it a try.

Henry paws weakly for his cellphone to make the call to schedule an appointment. Maybe he’ll end up liking spilling all of his woes to a lit-up square after he gives it a chance. Henry’s lucky he doesn’t have to look at a computer all day for his job so a little more screen time won’t hurt.

>A few days later…
Jess seems happy when Henry tells the fox that his first appointment is later this morning. Woo. Making Jess happy is good, right? He feels like he’s slowly drowning in the demands of daily interactions. Go to work, be professional, help the sick and dying, come home, exchange pleasantries with his partner–it’s all so heavy now.

>Dr. Machine gender roll: Male
When Henry opens the video chat link, he sees a short, fluffy mouse with large pink ears. Dr. Machine lacks the bitter world-weariness of Mahan, but otherwise kind of reminds Henry of the pika.

“Hello there Henry! It’s nice to meet you, I see you marked depression as the reason we’re calling today, tell me what’s been on your mind.”

Henry scratches his cheek self-consciously. The reviews had said this guy was a bit eccentric, and he’s not sure how he should phrase his marriage troubles to get the most bang for his buck.

You've had patients that beat around the bush before, right? Annoying. Don't be one. He's the professional, it's his job to figure out the best approach. Just give it to him straight: your marriage seems good on paper, but it isn't what you want, and you want to stop feeling like you're going through the motions and get back to a place where you feel happy.

He's a stranger, might as well just tell it like you see it. An outside perspective will help

>>1106544
Well your wife entirely lied about the very basis of who she said she was. Pretty much entirely just changed all your life plans. Went back on her word after you sacrificed your finger as a show of thanks.

Not good?

Explain that you already feel toxic while your wife feels manipulative.

You want to work up to honesty but like, lay the groundwork first, make it easier on him. Start with that sentiment about how nothing feels easy any more. That there's nowhere you feel like you can relax, or not have to watch yourself, it's all heavy, and that's what you want to fix. That'll be familiar to him, and it lays out the end goal you want to reach.

As for describing the marriage situation... well, basically, it was good for a long time, it's good on paper, but your partner has recently been honest about something that changes a lot and you feel deceived. But you also feel like maybe the dishonesty was because of pressure you put on without really realizing it, the dishonesty was an attempt to please you. Now it's all difficult and you want to make it work, you invested a lot into the marriage and you do still like your partner a lot, but it's all painful and difficult.

Don't be afraid to ask him like... meta questions about answering his questions? What he wants to know or where you should start or how deep into complications or details. You're paying him to provide guidance, so get your money's worth.

>Be direct
“My partner is a trans man who I thought was a woman and it was great until a while ago when I found out he lied about his gender identity so that I’d marry him. We get along well otherwise, I gave up a finger on our honeymoon because he likes that kind of thing, and I don’t think I want a divorce–”

“Sorry to interrupt, but could you repeat what you said about your finger?” Dr. Machine says brightly.

“Oh, I mean you can see it here. My friends say I was stupid, I cut it off as a romantic gesture.” Henry holds his left hand up to the camera. It feels weird being honest about his finger with a stranger.

“Hm, yes yes, you do know that I’m supposed to report any harm or threats of harm to yourself or others?” At Henry’s expression, the mouse chuckles and waves his hand. “Oh don’t worry, I’ll make an exception. Do you regularly engage in masochism?”

“Yeah, sometimes. We’re both pretty kinky.”

“Go on with what you were saying.”

Henry struggles to find his train of thought again. “I guess I’ve been feeling like a bad person? Because Jess was pretending to be a woman because of me and he’s still pretending so we stay together, so I’ve been doubting all of our interactions. He can be kind of manipulative, though it’s usually for what he thinks is our benefit, that’s just kind of how he is. The other thing is I thought we were going to start a family but that’s not going to happen. Got my hopes up for nothing.”

“So you don’t have a history or family history of depression?” Dr. Machine confirms.

“Yeah, this is a first. I get anxious sometimes but it’s manageable. That’s a good thing, right? What kind of strategy are you thinking of for me?”

Dr. Machine sits up straighter in his chair and waves his tiny paws excitedly. “I think we can try some shadow work, Henry. It’s based on the teachings of Carl Jung, we identify what feelings you may be suppressing in your unconscious and work to unify the self. Tell me something you dislike seeing in others, or describe a facet of yourself you think is shameful.”

A. Political conservatism
B. The desire to harm Jess
C. Other (suggest from observation of Henry’s behavior)

>>1106663
How about a slowly broiling anger at how this "identity change" took a sledgehammer to your entire lifeplans and how the only reason you haven't hit a boiling point is by having bouts of hate sex?

That sounds a bit unhealthy to me.

A) You were raised to think that conservatism is... okay?
More like you were raised to believe that it had a minimum limit to how much damage it could do, compared to flagrant liberalism.
... That might be wrong, but you don't know how to disprove what your community taught you.

How about the fact that even though Jess is clearly putting in the work for things to work out, ever since his confession you've had a lot of difficulty talking and interacting with him. Sure there's small talk but the connection isn't there. You snap at or get paranoid towards Jess randomly when yall try. You don't know who he is anymore. It's like living with a stranger who loves you. Almost everything you do with him feels wrong, almost like you're taking advantage or abusing him but there's no way of knowing for sure. Feelings that are doubly frustrating because you know this whole thing is FUCKED and you should be pissed but you can't even seem to do that right.

>>1106673
>>1106667
These.

Jess embracing his gender identity is what's right for him, so you feel you should be supportive, but you're still angry. If you can't accept this does that make you as bad as Mahan?

>>1106663
I also lost a friend due to my partner getting them into a threesome and she never wants to see me again i felt weak i could not even touch the door knob to be there for her i drove home to her beacuse i was so worried.
It sometimes feels like Jess ignores my feelings thinking its done instead talking about how they want to eat the placenta when we have the baby.

>>1106726
Just a feeling of cowardice never being able to help even if it only would cause minor discomfort, never fully honest or driven beyond the needs of others, its what i do at my job but its also my life i am a people pleaser but i cant comfort or comfront.
I cant even be angry, i am only angry if allowed to be angry if thats what jess wants for sex.

Also you're worried about Becca, your friend (and polygamous third-wheel, who you and Jess enjoye your open marriage with). You want to reach out, but she's not responsive.

>C, anger
“I’ve been angry about all this, but the emotion isn’t helping or going away, it doesn’t feel like I’m being angry right, if that makes sense, because I know I’m supposed to process stuff and move on. I shouldn’t be angry at Jess because it’s good for him that he’s being honest and embracing his identity. I don’t hate trans people or anything, it’s just sometimes I wish I wasn’t married to one.” Henry nibbles on the tip of his finger between sentences as he rambles. “I know it’s important to have an outlet and we’ve been having aggro sex whenever I feel like it, which is fun, I guess. Jess reallys enjoys it when I throw him around.”

Dr. Machine nods. “Men are socialized from childhood not to express anger, which makes it a common source of distress when going through a frustrating or threatening situation.”

“Oh, one more thing, the marriage stuff started a bit before I found out one of my close friends Jess and I were hooking up with doesn’t want to talk to me anymore. She hasn’t reached out since then and it really hurts.” Henry sighs and puts his head in his hands. “I know she’s still alive and stuff but I feel like a douche for…for taking advantage of her emotionally.”

“ Hmmm…” The mouse strokes his chin. “Have you tried going into the woods and hitting trees with a big stick?”

“Huh?”

“And raging and screaming and crying? A proper violent outburst without the worry that anyone is judging you for it would do wonders, I think. Take a friend, if you’d like. That’s your first assignment.”

“Alright.” Camping sounds like a lot of work when Henry’s so tired all the time, but he already has the basic gear and he could invite Mahan or Victor.

“Second, I’d like you to write down your most deranged, psychotic thoughts on paper. What you’d like to do to Jess, your friends, your boss, society, the world, any and all of it. When you’re done you can keep it or tear it to pieces. The point of the exercise is to acknowledge your shadow desires instead of feeling shame for having them, which stifles your ability to embrace your anger.”

That makes sense, even if it kind of sounds like Dr. Machine wants him to become a Sith Lord. They finish the 45 minute session with more therapy speak before the mouse cheerfully waves goodbye and leaves the call.

Ever the good boy, Henry fidgets for a few moments before grabbing a notepad off the desk to start his homework.

Suggest some of Henry’s socially unacceptable urges and thoughts. These could be things Henry would probably never do because of the repercussions or physical restrictions, but occasionally fantasizes about.

>>1106779
Forcing his "husband" to drop the identity and accept her place as a woman and wife? Physically if necessary?

You can definitely think of a couple desires you know better than to act on...

You want to make Becca to talk to you, even though she doesn't want to. You want to force her to discuss her feelings and hear you out.

You want to slam a baby in Jess and make a woman out of him, whether he wants it or not.

You know what? I'm not opposed to hitting up a rage room, or maybe actually going out into the woods with a big fuck off axe or stick, some place where we can scream, rage, turn our anger towards something just as an outlet and really just go fucking berserk. Fuck it. Why not?Keeping this pent up is not good for us and hey you know, if we can get a video tape of it, I bet it would do something to Jess.

>>1106779
Here's a fantasy to go with all of this, how about mating pressing Jess while keeping your teeth around their throat. Embracing the wolf side of you.

Write up a surreal short story that blames the supernatural - Heaven, in particular - for almost everything wrong with society, and how your supervillain protagonist wages war against them. Emphasize that the worst thing you could do to Jess is force the bill for your violent terrorism upon her.

>>1106779
Waiting until Jess is out of the house, throwing all your shit in the car, and just booking it over the horizon.
No messages, no warning, not even a forwarding address. You're there one minute and gone the next.
