Unlike many melodramatic Hollywood movie scenarios, changes occurring in psychotherapy are often deceptively quiet, often muted. Psychotherapy involves many emotional experiences—anxiety, fear, fascination, wonder, boredom, humor/laughter, anger, sadness, and often pain. The more severe and ominous forms of pain, destruction, and even a death prevented, go unheralded. They are unnoticed because existentially they like a suicide prevented, never, in fact, exist or occur. This paper presents detailed child psychotherapy work with a highly anxious conflicted twelve-year-old boy. Robbie's case is presented in the form of a short story to protect his privacy and to demonstrate exquisite detail of the psychotherapy process. Psychotherapy helped ten-year-old Robbie and his family deal effectively with painful family secrets. Robbie resolved his fears and conflicts and got back on track in his life to become a normal contented person.
