Program Transcript

[MUSIC PLAYING]

DR. JENNY: Hi there. My name is Dr. Jenny. Can you tell me your name and how old

you are?

DEV CORDOBA: My name is Dev, and I am seven years old.

DR. JENNY: Wonderful. Dev, can you tell me what the month and the date is? And

where are we right now?

DEV CORDOBA: Today is St. Patrick’s Day. It’s March 17th.

DR. JENNY: Do you know where we are?

DEV CORDOBA: We’re at the school.

DR. JENNY: Good. Did your mom tell you why you’re here today to see me?

DEV CORDOBA: She thought you were going to help me be better.

DR. JENNY: Yes, I am here to help you. Have you ever come to see someone like me

before, or talked to someone like me before to help you with your mood?

DEV CORDOBA: No, never.

DR. JENNY: OK. Well, I would like to start with getting to know you a little bit better, if

that’s OK. What do you like to do for fun when you’re at home?

DEV CORDOBA: Oh, I have a dog. His name is Sparky. We play policeman in my

room. And I have LEGOs, and I could build something if you want.

DR. JENNY: I would love to see what you build with your LEGOs. Maybe you can bring

that in for me next appointment. Who lives in your home?

DEV CORDOBA: My mom and my baby brother and Sparky.

DR. JENNY: Do you help your mom with your brother?

DEV CORDOBA: No. His breath smells like bad milk all the time. [CHUCKLES] And he

cries a lot, and my mom spends more time with him.

DR. JENNY: So how do you feel most of the time? Do you feel sad or worried or mad or

happy?

DEV CORDOBA: Worried.

DR. JENNY: What types of things do you worry about?

DEV CORDOBA: I don’t know, just everything. I don’t know.

DR. JENNY: OK. So your mom tells me you also have a lot of bad dreams. Can you tell

me a little more about your bad dreams, like maybe what they’re about, how many

nights you might have them?

DEV CORDOBA: I dream a lot that I’m lost, that I can’t find my mom or my little brother.

They seem like they happen almost every night, but maybe not some nights.

DR. JENNY: Now that must feel horrible. Have you ever been lost before when maybe

you weren’t asleep?

DEV CORDOBA: Oh, no. No. And I don’t like the dark. My mom puts me in a night light

with the door open, so I know she’s really there.

DR. JENNY: That seems like that probably would help. Do you like to go to school? Or

would you rather not go?

DEV CORDOBA: I worry about b
