SECONDARY EXPOSURE — Psychological Screenplay
A Seattle trauma therapist who specializes in violent crime survivors begins to suspect that her most compelling patient, who claims to have survived a home invasion, is actually the person who committed it. Over twelve sessions, she assembles a case she cannot use, in a professional framework that offers her no mechanism to act.
Dr. Maya Cross has spent twelve years treating survivors of violent crime. When Adam Cole presents as a home invasion survivor, his trauma presentation is technically accurate and consistent. Then in Session 4, he describes a detail about the perpetrator behavior that is not in any public report. Maya obtains the investigative case file and finds three unpublicized physical descriptors that match Adam precisely. With one session remaining, Maya asks the question she has been not asking for eleven sessions. Adam's answer is six lines that can be read as either a confession or a clinical reflection. The police investigation continues independently. Maya submits her license for voluntary ethics review.
