I can't imagine my therapist acting like the way he does sometimes...

Just a note of interest.. my old T went with me to the doctor once (
but really just kidding about the shock and awe smiley). Paul definitely had some counter-transference issues going on when he did that, but there are definitely situations where a T is just acting in their patient's best interest - for example committing a patient that is a danger to others/self. I think in this situation, in addition to being supportive to a client, Paul was doing something very similar to committing a suicidal client. But then again.. maybe his situation is just bringing up some transference for me

Season 3 started the last week of October. Just so you know though.. you can watch free online if you do a bit of searching...
[/quote] I am not familiar with Head Case or united states of tara or the others, but I would be interested. Are those current shows? If so, what network? The idea of a celebrity rehab sounds yucky to me so I don't want to check that one out. I'm not very interested in celebrities.

Head Case - Starz
United States of Tara - Showtime
Being Erica - Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (not sure about other places but I know it's on Soapnet in the US)
Also, if you really need more therapy shows.. one of the main characters on Private Practice (ABC) is a psychiatrist and she's had some really crazy stuff.
(and again.. you can probably find all of these online)

I totally agree with this! It is kind of comforting to see other people working through their crazy. It makes me feel much better about the content of my therapy session!

Totally agree! Thank you!
