She also knows his family and Kate. That's why she kept saying "Kate said THAT." Or, at least, that's what I thought. And the thing with Laura is that she is a sheep in wolf's clothing. She may look like a woman and be sexy as hell, but she is as immature as Sophie and I think she has transferred her "love" feeling from her former gaurdian "hunk" to Paul.<BR/><BR/>As an aside to Dinah... you seemed offended by the comment Laura made about her bf's ex being like a "domesticated animal" with her huge nipples and breastfeeding ( I was taken aback by her comments, as well). I got to thinking that it is Laura who is the animal, the way she picked up that guy at the bar to "f*** him in the bathroom." That recalled to me "Wild Kingdom" or some other show where animals were in heat, looking for a mate or mounting each other.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, Sara, at forst I hated that hubby too, but he may be the most honest person on the show....<BR/><BR/>On the show, Paul charges $150. I believe this was mentioned in Alex's first session. My Shrink has gone up to $200 and they didn't even tell me last time. I just give his secretary by debit card and I didn't even notice until several weeks later (sigh).<BR/><BR/>Dinah, is Paul a psychiatrisr or psychologist (other non-medical Ph.D)? I know one can be a psychoanalyst and non necessarily be a psychiatrist, but I thought Paul was a psychiatrist. Do you know?<BR/><BR/>This show has shown me how selfish the therapeudic process is. For the firsr time I feel like such a "taker." I come in the office, and it's always all about me. Every other person I see I ask how they are, I care. With Thera[ist and Psychiatrist, I am completely selfish. I e-mailed my psychiatrist last week to tell him I was happy, for a change. Lately, our correspondence has been very dark on my end so I wanted to ask him if he was happy and tell him I was happy (doing better). I want to be less selfish. I forgot/forget, they're people. I can only see me.<BR/><BR/>LilyDrivingMissMollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11476761316928942301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-65610206485645940232008-02-11T12:01:00.000-05:002008-02-11T12:01:00.000-05:00Anon: Your situation sucks.

I'm convinced I must have done something wrong but I don't know what. Was it my dress? I worked in a bank and dressed up for work and came from work...<BR/><BR/>LilyDrivingMissMollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11476761316928942301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-26699355176859578302008-02-10T10:47:00.000-05:002008-02-10T10:47:00.000-05:00anon: Your therapist had no business telling you t...anon: Your therapist had no business telling you that. As an MD (and a obstetrician at that!), I have the opportunity to be attracted to my patients, but I just don't think of them in that way, and don't end up attracted to them. I don't understand why Paul's lusting after all of his patients, to be honest. <BR/><BR/>Also, if I were attracted to a patient, I wouldn't tell her, because that would make her totally uncomfortable, I'm sure. It would violate the "Primum non nocere" dictate. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I agree with sarebear. Your former therapist is a jerk.Midwife with a Knifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04309579302399381913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-8939869671283980952008-02-10T00:42:00.000-05:002008-02-10T00:42:00.000-05:00Is there any MD psychiatrist out there who still d...Is there any MD psychiatrist out there who still does this therapy crap?

Hell, how can she pretend to be objective on this? She talks so smugly about Paul perhaps not being able to be objective on this, what with all his marital problems, etc. (and sort of like even before she knew about the marital problems' depth, convicted of guilt by being male), and she has all THAT in her history. Heck, Charlie's death being relatively recent, means it is not even ancient history . . . . for some of the feelings it must have brought up.<BR/><BR/>This sub-plot is what I meant when I referred to additional layers of complexity making things much more interesting even.<BR/><BR/>Although I wondered, wait, Paul, are you attracted to your male patients? What about Sophie? I am assuming he meant his adult female patients. It's obvious we can see a paternalism in him towards Sophie, so I wouldn't think he has the bad thoughts there anyway.<BR/><BR/>When it comes to the Thursday patients, I wish the hubby would just jump in a lake and then we could explore the much more interesting wife and her lying, etc. (hrm, that sounds innuendo-ish, exploring the wife, Paul doesn't need that lol). <BR/><BR/>Anonymous, WTH is up with that asshat (sorry for the swearing, but it fits) therapist telling you that? Like he internally felt he had "permission" to now that you weren't his patient anymore? He should have still acted professional. He's an idiot, and I'm sorry he did that to you.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I just found the funniest Freud t-shirt - it has Freud, and in a thought bubble above his head, "Yo Mama". Hee Hee.<BR/><BR/>Ironic given we're talking about male therapist's thoughts, but funny because you know.Sarebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208596053319110470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-79876629327856941922008-02-09T17:02:00.000-05:002008-02-09T17:02:00.000-05:00This is why, as a young female, I would never see ...This is why, as a young female, I would never see another male therapist. At least if my female therapist is fantasizing about something it is more likely to be about what she is going to cook for dinner rather than what I look like naked. When I terminated with the male therapist he told me he had had fantasies about me since the day I walked in the door & that he was having problems in his marriage - lovely. I can't believe I wasted $$ paying a guy for his fantasies. I think I need to avoid this show like the plague.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-7450794019110183912008-02-09T12:58:00.000-05:002008-02-09T12:58:00.000-05:00Dinah/Clink/Roy...One more question for you...
