Well, therapists sometimes leave. Either by choice or by circumstance, but there is always the possibility that they may be gone one day.
As an adult, I think trusting anyone is a huge risk. No one is legally (or morally) bound to us and even if they are, they can still get out of it.
I guess I'm dark and dismal today, but when you really think about it, most human relationships do not end well. Inevitably, there is a separation, whether it be a child growing up, lovers parting, or friends moving away. People we love do pass away.
But the key is we love and trust anyway and taking the risk has tremendous benefits.
I'm not sure that having a bad dessert (is there such a thing?) spoils the taste of an excellent main course.
I don't know if one can ever really get used to loss, but most of the things I love don't live as long as I do. I've lost several truly truly dear companions throughout the course of my life. The pain I feel at their death, doesn't undermine the joy I experienced because of their life, or my time with them.
Of course, this is me speaking at my most healthiest and well-therapized. I would be very hurt if my therapist just up and left for whatever reason and would probably go through a range of emotions and grief.
I'm still interested to see how Paul and Mia negotiate this situation and if Mia ever comes to any sort of resolution with Paul.
I can't talk about the House episode at all. Just can't. I may never watch again.
Seldom.
