Bradley Family Episode 1 Program Transcript

THERAPIST: First off, Tiffany, I want you to know how really glad we are that you’re here. There’s a lot that we do here that I think would be very good for you. Can I tell you about them?

TIFFANY: Sure.

THERAPIST: One of the services that I’m really excited about is the Teens First program we offer. It’s been open a little less than a year, but it’s already doing great things.

TIFFANY: What does it do?

THERAPIST: Well, it’s really the only organization of its kind. It provides treatment to women who’ve been in your type of situation. That’s the only group we treat.

TIFFANY: My situation? Why don’t you just say what you mean? I’m a whore.

THERAPIST: That’s just it, Tiffany. We don’t see you that way. Young women who’ve been arrested for prostitution, we see them as victims of human trafficking. You’re not a criminal. You’re a survivor.

TIFFANY: I don’t understand why I have to be here. I was fine where I was. I want to go back with my boyfriend.

THERAPIST: The one named Donald?

TIFFANY: Yeah.

THERAPIST: You said he was acting as your pimp. You said he bought you from someone else. Is that what a boyfriend does?

TIFFANY: I think it’s great you have all these services. But I don’t need them.

THERAPIST: Well, that’s something that I definitely want you to talk to me about over the next several weeks. The plan is for you and I to meet alone a couple times a week. And we’ll also meet in a group with some other young women like yourself.

TIFFANY: There’s no one like me.

THERAPIST: You’re right. There is no one like you. I just meant other young women who’ve gone through similar experiences. You also get three meals a day. They’re pretty good, actually. Healthy.

And a room to sleep in. And then there’s a case manager who will talk to you about jobs, going back to school, what you might want to do for a living. It’s really a great opportunity.

TIFFANY: I want to go to college. Design clothes.

THERAPIST: Well, that’s great. I think that sounds really, really good. So do you want to see your room?
