Need therapy?

In our last post we talked about a series of Trek related coincidences at Tesco. Well stranger things have happened. And here it is!

 
I (Sam) am currently studying to become a counsellor (yes, I want an office and chocolate supply like Troi). So one day I’m reading a text book and I notice these set of names.
 
I chuckle to myself. Only a trekkie would put that together. And read on.
 
A couple of pages later. I stumble upon another fictional client (right). Kess.
Not spelt right, but hey. I’m starting to wonder if I am going bonkers. Do I really see Star Trek everywhere!?


I flick through the pages to read the name of each fictional client. Reg, Jake, Kathryn, Jennifer, Molly, Beverly….Nerys! Hmmmm I’m starting to think the therapists who wrote this are (not so) secret Trekkies.  But towards the end there is some undisputed evidence:
There’s even Wesley and Ro.
It would be even better if their problems fit the characters. I feel confident as a therapist I could help Odo with his:
