This is a remarkable story, stunningly crafted by Ms. Beam and beautifully narrated. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since I listened to it.

Stunning!

Just proves the saying to “home wreckers” & cheaters “ you can lose them, the same way you got them”. The story is in first person, the voice of the patient turned wife. They jumped into a relationship quick, and hurting people by doing so. I enjoyed the free story, but I wouldn’t pay for it( it’s generic).

The story is about karma & deception

There is a saying, "You don't poop where you eat." That was a gross abuse of the power she had over her patient and she should have been reported. The shrink was a predator.

The therapist needed therapy.

I found myself attentive to the story , the reader helps making you want to listen to more . It contains some sexual arousal descriptions. After all, nothing exciting at the end.
A simple story written in good way.

Almost a good story with not such a good end!
