Do you talk about 'In Treatment' during therapy?
The Rage racked up many hours on the old couch, but is no longer in therapy. But she hears that many patients who are addicted to the HBO show are discussing the nuances and plot twists with their own analysts and therapists. One friend even told his doctor that they were devoting too much time to analyzing the show, instead of his problems. If you think Gabriel Byrne is the new Dr. McDreamy, check out this article in the NYT Styles section today.
Do you and your therapist chat about the show instead of your diminished sex drive? Um, it's called avoidance.

You make me laugh..it's called avoidance. No joke. I just came from my shrink--she's 87 and the best thing since roller skates with keys. I love her! Paul is a hot tamale, with that brogue-- but my grandma had the brogue and she was such a unloving bitch! What I am saying is it's not all ponies and rainbows, probably for Gabriel Byrne either although the acting exercise and the cash must be sweet...Take it from me it's not easy exuding mad sex appeal--its work.
The girl on Wednesday is a 4 star actress...

I too really enjoy the show. I've been really considering finally hiring a therapist and I think this show will once and for all push me over the edge -- and make me plummet into a co-dependant relationship with a mental health provider like the rest of the world.
Sophie is a great actor... so is Jake (who thankfully is also very easy on the eyes).
