elated - Story 39814 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The flyer landed on my desk, a splash of color against the drabness of the office. "New Therapist at the Community Center - Jennifer Baker, MSW, LCSW." It couldn’t be. It just couldn't. But, the picture… the slightly crooked smile… it was her. My childhood tormentor.

A surge of… energy… coursed through me. My fingers drummed a rapid rhythm on the desk. I wanted to laugh, to jump up and down. I scanned the flyer, reading the information about her specialties. Therapy for anxiety? Therapy for trauma? Unbelievable!

I grabbed my coat. Needed to register for the workshop. It was mandatory.
