I love watching these shows too because a) i can relate & b) i wish i was as brave to approach and deal with issues so vicserally (sp?). This is especially true with IN TREATMENT & BEING ERICA. (FYI= theres also INTERVENTION - A&E, X-WEIGHTED -also Canadian, & THE CLEANER - canceled show on A&E) But i do prefer to watch these shows by myself because its easier to get pissed off at myself for not doing more in therapy without my mom popping in with "if this upsets you so much, why do you keep watching? Why not watch a comedy or just give yourself a break - its TV!?!?" Yet i cant watch movies with such heavy exploration, struggle and self-reflection...i can bawl my eyes out/feel guilty about being so voyeuristic after an episode on tv. But curl up in a ball & avoid ALL discussion of "FOR COLOURED GIRLS" or "PRECIOUS" or "LARS & THE REAL GIRL" or "SOMEWHAT OF A FUNNY STORY" among others...
