I can't watch the show anymore since it is no longer available online, but I like to read what people say to catch me up!

My T has cried several times with me in session. He's very empathetic. I'm not sure how I'd react if the T seemed cold and showed no emotion.

Recently, my T told me he had really been worried about me after our last session, and that made me feel good. He'd never told me that before.

In the first three weeks of In Treatment that I saw, Paul didn't really seem that warm or expressive. In fact, I have memories of him seeming to "argue" with his clients a lot, as if he is at odds with them. At the end of week 3, he really seemed to be falling apart. I wonder, is that translating into more emotion for him in his session? Is it leaking out?
