I really really like the show. Since it is a drama made for TV, I think the therapeutic relationship is moving at a fairly fast clip compared to my therapy. Paul makes interpretations like crazy. But in general, his style of questions and remarks he chooses to comment on is very much like my t. My therapist is warmer and uses her sense of humor more.
I agree with others that these clients all seem very confrontational. Only babble has given me the courage to ask some of those delicate questions.
Tears streamed down my face with Sophie hugged Kate. How desperately lonely her world is.
I especially like how Paul "takes care" of his clients. How intimate to get his daughter's clothes for Sophie to change into. I don't think many therapist would do that. I like how he offers a blanket if they are cold or if they would like tea or coffee. And, of course, Gina. That relationship is so interesting to me. On Fridays we get to hear what Paul is really thinking as he goes through his week with those clients.
Everyone has their own stuff. Therapists included.
With the writer's strike, it's the one show I look forward to watching.
