I went in to see Bob – now relieved of the tooth that caused the ache last week! I was concerned that having missed as session he would find engaging with the final session today difficult. We had a positive 40 minutes in a room with no chairs and only a low table to perch on. I wasn’t able to show him the films but we were able to talk things through – to talk about his life and his hopes – what do you aim for if you have spent much of your adult life in prison and have no stable relationship to go back out to, no where to live and have three children who have been adopted because of your life-style. But the positives are that Bob hopes to get onto the Rapt course soon, his Subutex dose is down to a minimum. I tell him he is articulate and able (because he is, although I imagine that not many may have said that to him in life) and that he needs to get a handle on want he wants – he needs to think abut his life in terms of the car we talked about restoring – work out what you want and work out what steps you need to take to get there…a tough journey – one that probably seems almost impossible but it can be done…
