Rewrite the following in a concise fashion, while retaining the awkward cadence and stilted language of the original: 
NAME_1, 

Thus far our appointments have been dominated by the day-to-day practicalities of my life, and the various unfolding relationships and obstacles I experience as I pursue personal growth – etc. Consequently the emotional/behavioral aspect has been somewhat neglected. This is of course not helped by my tendency to brush certain topics off as irrelevant, unsolvable, or otherwise unworthy of attention. 

My tendency to brush things off is a consequence of two things: 1) My previous experience with various therapists who have pointlessly meandered through those areas of my life, and 2) the frequency with which I observe therapy – in others – become the psychological equivalent of picking at a scab and wondering why the wound isn’t healing. 

I am writing this email because I wish to work with you to find some method of productively engaging or addressing certain emotional/behavioral qualms I possess. Most importantly – matching your skills to the most relevant problem with greatest efficacy or chance of resolution. 

a) My negative experiences with medical situations. 
b) My debilitating perfectionism. 
c) My inability to commit myself to a particular path or passion.

I want you to choose the topic you feel most equipped to address, and I would like you to take a more active and structured approach in our next meeting so that I do not waste time on tangents. " The letter g should appear at least 31 times.
