Excerpt: Group Therapy
(Notice: The following features mature content in an ABDL role-play setting. All characters are over the age of 18. It is entirely fictional and shared for entertainment purposes only.)
Nurse Bellamy led Lena down another hall by the leash.
Lena walked slowly, partly because the diaper forced her thighs apart, partly because the locked pink onesie made every step feel wrong, and partly because her stomach still hurt.
It was worse now.
Not constant. That would have been easier. It came in waves. A tightening low in her belly, then a slow twist, then a cramp that made her toes curl inside the soft footed pajamas. Each time it passed, Lena told herself she could make it a little longer.
Just until group was over.
Just until someone let her use a real bathroom.
Just until she got through whatever came next.
The leash tugged.
“Keep up,” Nurse Bellamy said.
Lena forced herself forward.
The hallway opened into another wing of the facility. The walls here were painted a warm cream color, with framed posters about recovery and accountability. At first glance, they almost looked normal.
YOU ARE HERE TO HEAL.
STRUCTURE IS SAFETY.
MATURITY IS EARNED, NOT GIVEN.
That last one made Lena slow down.
Nurse Bellamy tugged the leash again.
Lena kept walking.
The room they entered had a sign on the door.
GROUP REHABILITATION THERAPY.
Underneath, in smaller letters, someone had added a laminated cartoon sun with a smiling face.
The room on the other side looked like a first-grade classroom.
That was Lena’s first thought.
Not a therapy room. Not a medical room. Not even one of the grim institutional spaces she had seen through the windows on the way from the changing room.
A classroom.
There was a whiteboard at the front. Bright paper borders around bulletin boards. A rug with colorful squares. Shelves filled with bins of crayons, safety scissors, glue sticks, picture books, and worksheets. The desks were small but adult-sized, arranged in a wide circle so every patient could see every other patient.
At each desk sat a young woman.
Some were in hospital gowns. Some wore pale, shapeless pajamas. Some were in locked onesies like Lena’s, though different colors. Yellow. Blue. Mint green. One wore a gray anti-tamper suit with padded sleeves and a soft helmet strapped beneath her chin.
Every patient was restrained in some way.
That was what Lena noticed next.
The restraints were not the same.
One girl had only a simple leash clipped from her chair to a belt around her waist. Another wore a full harness system crossing her chest, shoulders, and thighs, attached to the chair in three places. One patient had her wrists cuffed to the desk. Another had her hands covered in soft mitts, with the mitts clipped to loops near her knees. Several had helmets. Several did not.
The amount of restraint seemed personal.
Earned.
Or lost.
Lena looked down at herself.
Pink locked onesie. Harness. Leash. Diaper beneath everything, the outline of it thick and visible no matter how much she wished it was not.
She knew exactly what everyone saw.
Nurse Bellamy did not let her enter quietly.
“Sorry we’ve got a late one,” Nurse Bellamy called out as the door opened. “She had to stop by the changing room because she’s a bedwetter who lied about not needing a diaper and woke up reeking of pee.”
The room burst into laughter.
Lena stopped dead.
It was not everyone. It could not have been everyone. Some of the patients only stared. Some ducked their heads as if afraid of being caught laughing. One girl covered her mouth, eyes wide and guilty.
But to Lena, it was all of them.
The whole circle.
The whole room.
Laughter bouncing off the whiteboard, the posters, the little desks, the bright paper borders. Laughter at her suit, her leash, her diaper, the reason she was late. Laughter at the wet bed she could still smell in her mind even though Miss Wendy had wiped and powdered her clean.
Her face went so hot she felt dizzy.
“Settle down,” a woman at the front of the room said.
The laughter faded quickly.
Not because the woman had shouted.
Because she had not.
She stood beside the whiteboard with a clipboard tucked against her chest. She was tall and narrow, with a smooth brown bob, a lavender cardigan, and glasses on a chain. Her skirt fell below her knees. She looked like a strict private-school teacher who would remember every student’s birthday and every student’s worst mistake.
A nameplate on her desk read MRS. KINDERCARE.
The name was so ridiculous that Lena almost laughed.
Then Mrs. Kindercare looked at her.
Lena did not laugh.
“Bring her to the empty seat, Nurse Bellamy,” Mrs. Kindercare said. “We were just beginning.”
“Yes, Mrs. Kindercare,” Nurse Bellamy said.
The answer came automatically. Respectfully. Like Mrs. Kindercare outranked her.
Nurse Bellamy guided Lena to an empty desk in the circle. The chair had a ring bolted to one side and a short strap fixed to the back.
“Sit,” Nurse Bellamy said.
Lena sat. The diaper compressed beneath her.
She shifted immediately, then stopped when she realized the movement only made the padding crinkle louder and feel even more obvious.
Nurse Bellamy clipped Lena’s leash to the ring on the chair, then pulled the strap around the back of the harness and secured it.
“Hands on the desk,” Nurse Bellamy said.
Lena placed her hands on the desk.
The surface was smooth plastic, lightly scratched by old crayon marks.
“Good,” Nurse Bellamy said.
Then she leaned close enough that only Lena could hear.
“No outbursts in group.”
Lena did not answer.
Nurse Bellamy straightened and walked to the side of the room.
Mrs. Kindercare smiled at the circle.
“Now,” Mrs. Kindercare said, “who wants to raise her hand and remind the group why you are all here?”
Several patients looked down.
One girl in a pale blue onesie raised her hand slowly.
“Yes, Hannah,” Mrs. Kindercare said.
Hannah sat up straighter.
“Because we’re addicts,” Hannah said.
Mrs. Kindercare tilted her hand from side to side.
“Close,” Mrs. Kindercare said. “You are all helpless, hopeless, pitiful addicts in need of severe treatment.”
The room was quiet.
Lena stared at her.
Mrs. Kindercare said it brightly. Calmly. Like she was correcting a math problem.
“And that is why you are all here,” Mrs. Kindercare continued. “To receive the kind of care and structure only advanced, mature staff and adults can provide.”
She let that sit for a moment. The term ‘adult’ immediately sent a chill of unease through Lena, as all the women there were clearly adults themselves.
“Now, many of you came to us believing addiction was the ultimate cause of all your problems,” Mrs. Kindercare said. “Some of you were told that by doctors. Some by counselors. Some by judges. Some by family members who loved you but did not understand the deeper pattern.”
She turned to the whiteboard.
Written there in neat blue marker were the words:
INFANTILE BEHAVIORAL DISORDER
Mrs. Kindercare tapped the board with the marker.
“Addiction is real,” Mrs. Kindercare said. “No one here is denying that. But addiction is also a symptom. It is what happens when a patient with immature coping structures is given adult freedom before she has developed adult control.”
Lena stared at the words on the board.
Infantile Behavioral Disorder.
Mrs. Kindercare said it so calmly that, for one second, it almost sounded like something real.
“When a patient cannot tolerate discomfort, she reaches for a substance,” Mrs. Kindercare said. “When she cannot regulate shame, she reaches for a substance. When she cannot accept limits, consequences, boredom, fear, hunger, loneliness, or ordinary disappointment, she reaches for a substance.”
She looked around the circle.
“That is not adult behavior,” Mrs. Kindercare said. “That is infantile behavior wearing adult clothes.”
The room was silent.
Mrs. Kindercare smiled gently.
“So remember,” Mrs. Kindercare said, “the real underlying cause of your addiction is infantile behavioral disorder. When a patient is only capable of infantile behavior, and she is not treated at the developmental level she can actually maintain, she resorts to substances to solve problems she is not mature enough to process.”
Lena looked around the room.
No one reacted.
Some patients nodded along.
One girl sucked on the side of her finger, realized what she was doing, and quickly put her hand back on the desk.
Mrs. Kindercare saw it anyway.
“Fingers are for playing, not for sucking, Ava,” Mrs. Kindercare said.
Ava’s face went pink.
“Yes, Mrs. Kindercare,” Ava said.
Mrs. Kindercare turned back to the board.
“Let’s begin by reviewing the ten rules, as we do every week.”
Lena noticed the rules then.
They were written on a large poster beside the whiteboard, each number decorated with a small cartoon animal. A rabbit beside rule one. A duck beside rule two. A lamb beside rule three.
Mrs. Kindercare pointed to the first line.
“All together,” Mrs. Kindercare said.
The room began to read.
Lena did not.
At first.
“One,” the group said. “No speaking unless spoken to. If you need a staff member’s attention for an emergency, raise your hand.”
Mrs. Kindercare’s eyes moved to Lena.
Lena felt the look before she fully met it.
She joined in on rule two.
“Two,” the group read. “No speaking to other patients. We are not qualified to help the others around us, and we will only do damage by inserting ourselves where we do not belong.”
Mrs. Kindercare smiled.
“You are always welcome to ask staff for help,” Mrs. Kindercare added. “Staff know where help belongs.”
The group moved on.
“Three. No touching others or ourselves without permission.”
Mrs. Kindercare raised one finger.
“That includes scratching, nose picking, picking at clothing, touching protection, and any unsavory or shameful activities,” she said.
A few girls looked down.
Lena’s stomach cramped. She gripped the edge of the desk.
“Four,” the group read. “No saying no to those in charge. No lying under any circumstances.”
Lena’s jaw tightened.
“Five. No cursing or using adult language inappropriate for our behavior or status.”
Mrs. Kindercare nodded approvingly.
“Six. We will eat and drink all we are given without question.”
A soft murmur moved through the circle.
Lena thought of the gruel.
The bottle.
Her stomach twisted harder.
“Seven. We will use the potty promptly and cleanly if and when taken.”
Lena’s face went hot.
“Eight. We will never leave our bed, chair, room, or assigned location without escort.”
The leash at Lena’s side felt heavier.
“Nine. We will treat and speak to all staff members with respect.”
Mrs. Kindercare’s smile deepened.
“Ten. We will maintain a positive and grateful attitude at all times, and accept any discipline with self-reflection and vocal gratitude.”
The group paused.
Mrs. Kindercare lowered her marker.
“And finally,” Mrs. Kindercare said.
The room recited together.
“I remember that I am here because I am incapable of caring for myself, and I need treatment. I will always do what I’m told, with gratitude, because staff members always know what’s best for me, no matter what.”
The words filled the room in a flat, practiced rhythm.
Lena said them too, but quietly.
She hated herself for that.
Mrs. Kindercare looked pleased.
“Very good,” she said. “Much better than last week.”
A girl near the windows smiled faintly, proud of the praise.
Lena stared at the rules.
No speaking unless spoken to.
No saying no.
Eat and drink all you are given.
Use the potty promptly and cleanly when taken.
The language was simple. Almost childish. That was the trick. It sounded basic enough to be harmless until she imagined living inside it.
Until she realized she already was.
Mrs. Kindercare began to lecture.
At first, Lena tried to listen.
She wanted to understand the system. She wanted to find the weak point in it. Somewhere there had to be a rule, a procedure, a right, a phone call, a doctor, a signature, something she could use. Places like this had paperwork. Oversight. Laws.
They had to.
But Mrs. Kindercare’s voice softened into a steady hum.
“Infantile behavioral disorder expresses itself through avoidance, dependence, tantrum behaviors, emotional leakage, bodily neglect, defiance, self-soothing through substances, and refusal to accept appropriate authority…”
Lena shifted in the chair.
The diaper pressed up against her.
Her stomach cramped again.
She breathed in slowly, gripping the desk harder.
The little trickle on the potty had done nothing for the deeper pressure in her bowels. She could feel the gruel moving through her. The medicine. The vitamins. The gut regulation, as the nurse had called it…
Lena swallowed.
Then, a nurse wheeled a cart into the room.
Every head lifted.
Lena saw the cart and went cold.
Baby bottles.
Two full trays of them, each one filled with warm creamy liquid. Some had blue caps. Some pink. Some yellow. Steam fogged the inside of a few clear plastic bottles. The smell of vanilla reached Lena from across the room.
The reaction in the room was immediate.
Patients straightened in their chairs. One girl made a soft, eager sound and covered her mouth the instant it escaped. Another bounced once in her seat before the strap on her harness caught her. A girl with mittens lifted both covered hands and whimpered, then forced them back to her desk.
Mrs. Kindercare smiled.
“I see we’re excited for mid-morning ba-bas,” she said.
Several patients blushed. Lena stared at them.
They wanted them.
Not pretended. Not resigned. Wanted.
Their eyes tracked the bottles like starving animals watching food.
Mrs. Kindercare turned back to the circle.
“Now,” she said, “before we continue, who wants to remind the group when you are allowed to leave the facility?”
A patient near the front raised her hand.
“Yes, Claire,” Mrs. Kindercare said.
“Whenever we want,” Claire said.
Lena’s attention snapped fully awake.
That was not the answer she expected. It had to be wrong.
Mrs. Kindercare clapped her hands once.
“That’s right,” she said. “You are all allowed to leave whenever you want.”
Lena stared at her.
The room nodded.
A few patients even smiled.
“All you have to do,” Mrs. Kindercare continued, “is prove to us that you are a capable, self-sufficient adult. That seems more than fair, doesn’t it?”
“Yes, Mrs. Kindercare,” the group said.
The answer came in a practiced chorus.
Lena could barely breathe.
Allowed to leave.
Whenever they wanted.
All they had to do was prove they were adults.
Her eyes moved to the bottles.
Mrs. Kindercare followed her gaze as if she knew exactly what Lena was thinking.
“Now,” Mrs. Kindercare said, “who here thinks she is an adult ready to leave the facility?”
No one raised a hand.
No one even twitched.
Mrs. Kindercare waited.
The patients stared at their desks.
“And who would like her baby bottle instead?” Mrs. Kindercare asked.
Every hand went up.
Immediately.
Some shot up so fast that the restraints on their wrists jerked them short. One patient whined when her mittened hand did not rise high enough. Another lifted both hands, then remembered herself and lowered one with a guilty look.
Mrs. Kindercare smiled.
“There we are,” she said. “Honest girls get what they need.”
The nurse began handing out bottles.
The room changed.
Patients who had been dull and quiet came alive. Hands reached. Eyes brightened. One girl whispered, “Please,” before the nurse reached her, then clapped a hand over her mouth and looked terrified. Another patient hugged her bottle to her chest for one second before putting the nipple in her mouth.
Soon the whole room was full of soft sucking sounds.
Lena watched in disgust.
Then in horror.
Then with a feeling much worse than either.
Understanding.
The trap was right there. So obvious that it almost did not look like a trap.
They could leave whenever they proved they were adults.
But the bottles were how the facility made adulthood impossible.
The bottles were the relief. The medicine. The thing that quieted withdrawal and softened the ugly, screaming need inside the body of every severe addict there in the facility. Every patient in the room knew it. That was why their hands had gone up so fast. That was why their eyes had followed the cart. That was why even the girls who looked ashamed still reached for them.
So long as they accepted the bottle, the staff could point to the bottle and call it proof.
So long as they needed it, they were not ready to leave.
And addiction made their ‘need’ practically guaranteed.
Lena’s body knew that before her mind finished arranging the thought.
Her skin was crawling again.
Her hands shook on the desk. Sweat prickled under the collar of the onesie. Her head ached behind her eyes. Her stomach twisted and rolled, and beneath all of it was the deeper, familiar hunger from the night before.
Not hunger for food.
For relief. Chemical relief.
The bottle had relief in it. She knew that now. She could not pretend she did not.
Methadone, maybe. Benzos. Some careful little cocktail meant to soften the sharp edges of street-drug withdrawal and make the body stop screaming. Whatever it was, it had worked. The bedtime formula had slowed the panic. It had dulled the crawling under her skin from lack of pills. It had made her body loosen and sink and go quiet for a few hours.
And that was why the others wanted it so badly.
One by one, the patients’ faces softened. Shoulders lowered. Eyes went half-lidded. The sucking sounds slowed into a steady rhythm.
They looked peaceful.
They looked trapped.
The nurse reached Lena’s desk with a bottle.
It had a pink cap.
Lena stared at it.
Her mouth filled with saliva before she could stop it.
“No, thank you,” Lena said.
The nurse paused.
“What was that, dear?” Mrs. Kindercare asked.
The whole room seemed to notice at once.
Sucking slowed.
Eyes turned.
Lena felt the bottle hovering just in front of her.
She forced herself to sit straighter.
“I don’t need a bottle, ma’am,” Lena said. “I’m an adult. And I don’t need to be here at the facility. I’m a grown adult ready to leave.”
The room went quiet except for the soft wet sound of a few patients still sucking.
Mrs. Kindercare frowned.
“I believe you were brought late to therapy for bedwetting, dear,” she said.
A ripple of laughter moved through the circle.
Lena’s face burned.
“I don’t care,” Lena said boldly, suddenly shaking with adrenaline. “I’m still an adult.”
Mrs. Kindercare studied her.
“Are you certain?” she asked. “Because you know the penalties for lying are not pretty, dear.”
“Yes,” Lena said. “I’m certain. In fact, you can untether me right now, and I’m ready to walk out that door and leave on my own just fine.”
A few patients gasped.
Someone whispered, “Oh no,” around the nipple of her bottle.
Mrs. Kindercare did not raise her voice.
“Now, let’s not get ahead of ourselves,” she said. “Your adulthood is assessed by the doctor. The other staff and I are just here to facilitate and help you reach your goals in the meantime.”
Lena’s heart pounded.
“But of course, no one is forcing you to take a comfort bottle, Lena. If you are truly as mature as you say, then you should have no trouble going without one. And I’ll tell you what,” Mrs. Kindercare continued. “Why don’t you continue proving to me what a big girl you say you are by behaving like an adult for the rest of class? I will be sure to give the doctor a glowing report for when you see him. You know, if you really are telling the truth.”
“Of course I am!” Lena said.
“Attitude, dear,” Mrs. Kindercare said. “Now, quiet down. The whole class isn’t just about you. It is called group therapy, remember.”
A few girls chuckled around their bottles.
Lena felt the laughter crawl over her skin.
Mrs. Kindercare’s smile disappeared.
“And if you speak out of turn again without raising your hand,” she said, “I will discipline you in front of the whole room.”
Lena’s mouth closed. She nodded, cheeks hot.
Then the nurse quietly removed the bottle from Lena’s desk.
Lena watched it go.
Her body protested so hard she almost called it back.
She did not.
She sat there while every other patient drank.
She sat there while their faces softened and their bodies relaxed. While one girl sighed around the nipple like she had been saved. While another tipped her bottle higher, desperate for the last of it. While a third began to cry quietly with relief as the nurse stroked her hair and told her she was doing beautifully.
Lena sat dry-mouthed, sweating in her locked pink suit, the diaper hot between her thighs and the cramps moving deeper through her belly.
