No ... I don't think this week will change your mind. I like Adele (a lot) but I agree, she is a bit cool and detached (that's a quote from Paul). My t isn't quite as cool and detached but a bit ... if only her office was as nice. I think it works for me because I don't trust people who are overly friendly and kind (isn't that a bad quality I acquired).
I see what you mean that she is confrontational and I agree. She does call Paul on his stuff more quickly and more agressively than a "real" therapist would probably do in real life.
How do you find her withholding? She doesn't talk about herself - but most t's don't. I see her as totally engaged and trying to keep Paul focused on his stuff.
But my alarm bells went off after Paul discloses something he did this week ... twice in fact. One was "super icky" (completely unprofessional) and the other was "oh ... so you did that too?". You'll know exactly what I'm referring to.
I agree. I won't let my son see the sessions with Jesse. He once walked into the room and I turned off the TV and he said, "What? You let me see this show before." And I replied, "this character is inapporpriate."
