In Treatment - Jake and Amy Week 6

Posted March 16, 2008

Geesh, what an attention seeking brat. She shows up -- without her husband -- early for therapy and then gets her feelings hurt when Paul asks her to wait outside? Get over yourself, Amy. I'm really getting sick and tired of your moodiness. You really are a tough case to crack. You get offended when your husband spies on you; you get offended when he backs off. You are repulsed when he says he's going to kill you, and you are repulsed when he breaks down and tells you how much he can't live without you. So repulsed, in fact, that you come to therapy to get permission to sleep with your boss. Is that what therapy is to you? A place to get justification?

Really, is sleeping with your boss going to fix anything? I don't think so. Neither is running away from your husband. But then it seems like you've been running away from people who care about you for most of your lfe. As shocked as I am that you are asking your therapist for permission to sleep with your boss, I know you're going to do it. I know you're going to betray your husband. And then where will you be? Alone. Miserable. And still searching for something.

I'm not sure yet what you're searching for -- or how you got so messed up. I really do wish you'd settle on one personality, though. This sporadic weirdness is making my head spin. Maybe it's why I despise your sessions with Paul. Maybe it's why deep down inside Paul despises your sessions --- no, never mind. He's a therapist; he enjoys this crap. So I know these sessions won't end soon. You've got way too many problems for us work out.
