Yara feels hopeful that her counseling sessions might help her feel better, encouraged by Silas's nonjudgmental attitude.
During her counseling session with William, she starts with mundane topics but soon expresses a desire to genuinely talk about deeper issues.
William asks about her family relations, prompting Yara to admit she doesn't get along with her father and struggles with old family wounds.
She resists discussing her mother and is reluctant to talk to her parents about her feelings, finding it too complicated and painful.
Yara acknowledges her emotions are disorganized, possibly due to childhood trauma, but fears that discussing them will only bring back pain.
William suggests using journaling as a way to process emotions, offering Yara a notebook to express thoughts she finds overwhelming to say out loud.
He also proposes the idea of writing a letter to her parents that she'll never send as a form of expressing and confronting her emotions.
Yara leaves the session contemplating William's advice and the difference between seeking freedom from her past versus wanting relief from ongoing pain.
