talvez no meu caso se aplicasse um cardiologista

"If or when I do start going to an analyst, I hope to God he has the foresight to
let a dermatologist sit in on consultation. A hand specialist.
I have scars on my hands from touching certain people.
Once, in the park, when Franny was still in the carriage,
I put my hand on the downy pate of her head and left it there too long.
Another time, at Loew's Seventy-Second Street, with Zooey during a spooky movie.
He was about six or seven, and he went under the sear to avoid watching a
scary scene. I put my hand on his head.
Certain heads, certain colors and textures of human hair leave permanent
marks on me. Other things, too.
Charlotte once ran away from me, outside the studio, and I grabbed her
dress to stop her, to keep her near me.
A yellow cotton dress I loved because it was too long for her.
I still have a lemon-yellow mark on the palm of my right hand...."
