I think Oliver and his parents show why it's so hard to be a therapist. I'd be ready to slap them silly for not wanting their son, but a therapist has to work with them anyway. I found the same thing in my three days as a veterinary assistant. I can't imagine how vets manage to be even marginally polite to some of their patients' humans.
I haven't mentioned it to my therapist that often this season. I guess until now, I haven't identified with the clients as much. For a while there, I felt for Mia and her anger at Paul for leaving her. But somehow she lost me.
It probably says a lot about me and my relationship with my therapist that I identify most with Sophie and Oliver. :)
I don't much like Paul as a person, but I admired him as a therapist a lot this season. I've thought more than once that he's probably a much better therapist than mine is.
