Alice: I want you to know that everything you say here is confidential and this is not a place of judgement. Now, what's bothering you?
Bruce: My friends are worried that I'm taking too many risks.
Alice: What kinds of risks?
Bruce: I dress up in costume and fight crime.
Alice: That does seem risky. Why do you do that?
Bruce: My parents were killed in front of me by a mugger when I was a child. I swore to fight a personal war on crime.
Alice: Hmm. Tell me more about your parents.
