I have been pretty critical of Paul, and I've never thought he was anything like my therapist.
But last Wednesday, with Sophie, he was so very much like my therapist. The dynamic at the end, where he said something that reached through to her, and she responded in a way that lightened the atmosphere in the room. Then they sat companionably. That is so like our sessions. As well as with the paternal sort of fondness and interest Paul exudes towards Sophie. And that he takes her more outrageous statements in good humor, and is able to breach her defenses in a nonthreatening way.
