story continues of the financial stock market trader living in Manhattan in 2012 who thinks he lived before in a medieval monastery in 1115 in Northern Spain

Doctors notes:
July 12, 2012

Client is Monno Migeles a very successful trader at JP Morgan in lower Manhattan. 2011 bonus 2.5 million [ market was flat]. Monno comes in for counseling because he is having delusions related to time and place.

Monno is very excited today. He says he saw a waitress at a lunch bistro in lower Manhattan near his office that he is sure is Justa, the girl he was unable to marry back in the year 1115 in Northern Spain. [Monno believes he lived before.] This girl who is apparently very pretty is only 19 years old and is a student at New York University.

Monno talked to her during his meal yesterday and left her a one hundred dollar tip. He asks me, his Counselor how to proceed to " get to know her again".

Counselor is unsure how to best proceed with advice. JP Morgan is an excellent Corporate customer and our group gets numerous stress related referrals from the trading group. JP Morgan wants Monno to counsel for several sessions and continue as a successful trader. Counselor is concerned Monno's delusions of time and place are "deepening" now involving other persons with unknown future repercussions.

Counselor has decided to give no advice to Monno for now on how to court his Justa [ now named Calie Bugan of Cliffside, NJ] until he discusses the case in Friday morning meeting with professional colleagues.
