I like that! And it's so true.
I guess I ought to clarify that when I said I wonder how far I'd go, I didn't mean sex. After all, the idea isn't to send him screaming into the night. lol.
In Treatment. I'm disliking Paul more and more. I'm really glad that my therapist isn't that good an actor. It looks like Alex is going to show more vulnerability next week. Good thing. He was so one dimensional before that - just like my very dominant puppy. I was waiting for him to lift his leg, or roll Paul over with a grip to the neck. I don't feel like I really know Sophie yet, which makes sense with an adolescent, so they must be doing her part well. Or maybe I just like it because it mirrors the relationship between my therapist and me more than the others. Laura really bugs me because no one seems to notice that this isn't love. It's fascination on his side, but if he ever comes to... And on her side it seems almost as much about power as Alex's sessions do. She's just better at it. I dunno. It's not my version of love anyway. Maybe it's someone else's.
Some of the episodes have provoked discussions with my therapist. Oddly enough, not about Sophie. Too close to home I guess. That therapist is really losing it and it looks to me like he's hurting his clients. Not just Laura, which is pretty obvious, and Alex, which is also pretty obvious. But Sophie seems to be trying to tell him something, and trying to tell him she's trying to tell him something, and he just doesn't seem to be hearing it so she's telling him more and more forcefully. When he dismissed what happened with her to Gina, I really hope he was just downplaying his own negligence instead of really dismissing what she was saying. What does she have to do to get the adults in her life to listen to her?
Other than tell them straight out, of course.
Gina's being way too easy on him.
