Matt Willis

a controversial style of therapist or just summed me up straight away.

I'd like to think the latter because it makes him, you know, a more powerful, uh, kind of therapist, I suppose.

But yeah, I, I came in and he, um, I hadn't drank that day cause I, like you was forced by John Knoll, the agent to go to, uh, to go and see Chip Summers.

Um, and yeah,

Walked in and I was sober at the time.

I had drank the night before, but I'd purposefully not drank that day just so that I could be sober for the meeting so that he could report back to John that there's absolutely nothing wrong with me and that I'm fine.

And I sat down and he goes, God, you reek of booze.

And I was like...

I haven't had a drink today.

And he was like, when was the last time you drank?

And I was like, last night.

And he was like, whiskey, was it?

I was like, yeah.

And he was just like, God, as soon as you leave, I'm going to have to open the windows here so that the next patient doesn't think I've been drinking.

And he was quite horrible to me initially for the first 15 minutes, quite aggressive on how disgusting I am.

And I can remember thinking like... And was that a tactic?

Yeah.

Well, no, I think he probably could smell whiskey on my breath, but like, you know, he did go quite hard.

I can remember thinking like, it was a big mix of like, you know, do I just sack this guy off or should I take on board that maybe this is how people see me?

And it was, you know, I left and we agreed that I wasn't going to drink for seven days and that I'd see him again at midday on, you know, next Wednesday.
