This exact topic has been on my mind constantly lately, as I often want to reach out to my dietitian or therapist and then stop myself before doing so. I am always wondering "Am I being THAT patient?" It's nice to know I'm not alone in that. They always say to call or email. But do they mean it? I have no idea, and wish they would give us a real, brutally honest answer (although I'm not sure I want to hear it!). I am SO glad you posted this.

Season 1 I really liked Sophie. Also interesting to see Paul interact with Gina. I always wonder if my T is in therapy....and what that's like. I don't like to think of my T with other patients either. Even tho - I see her 1, sometimes 2x a week - I feel sort of possessive of her. I havent yet seen season 2 of In Treatment. Is it out on DVD yet? I really like that show too! Season 1 I really liked Sophie. Also interesting to see Paul interact with Gina. I always wonder if my T is in therapy….and what that’s like.

I don't have a therapist, but I'm all about personal growth and awareness, and I related to what you were saying about looking at things from your therapist;s perspective. I believe the more perspectives from which we can view things, the more our lives are expanded, and the more tolerant and compassionate we become. Loved your article.

Because of this awareness I won't contact him outside of our weekly 50 minutes together. I feel like there are plenty of other patients, meetings, etc. that he needs to attend to, so far be it from me to ask for some extra attention. Who knows what that says about me... Anyway, I love In Treatment and wish it were a more popular show. I find the show interesting because it shows both sides of the therapeutic relationship. We see the patients' issues, but we also see how how human the therapist is. I guess it is sort of refreshing to see a (albeit a fictional) therapist deal with their own less than perfect life.
