I think the qualified realm of acting is that you can't feel the trace of the performance and can watch it immersively; the higher realm of acting is that the character and the actor are integrated, there is no sense of disobedience, and you are deeply immersed in the role played by the actor It's a unique burden, and I feel reluctant to part with it at the end of an episode. This play belongs to the latter.
The shaping of a character is a figurative completed through the patchwork of many details. Kate Winslet, in her unique way, played a policewoman who was unable to save herself but was still trying to save people. In the first five episodes, she was depressed and depressed, but she still had a strong sense of mission. In the sixth episode, her long-suppressed rational emotions got a brief catharsis. She is the guardian of this town, the once high-spirited Miss Lady Hawk, but after her son's suicide, her husband's divorce, and the girl's disappearance, her shining light was slowly erased. She wanted to protect and save everyone, but she failed to rescue her drug addict's son. She climbed up the dim attic to cut the rope and put down his son's body. The son was her all light and hope. She gave him life and took his death. She hadn't been able to save Colin, the honest and kind colleague who had a crush on her and who had revealed the real reason for his glorious past. She failed to save Erin. She may not have been able to save her daughter Siobhan, but she accepted all the curses of her daughter's drunken hatred against her without complaint. She can't even save herself, she is the backbone of the family, she can't fall; she has to support her mother, daughter, grandson; she is also responsible for finding the missing girl and finding the real cause of Erin's death. It is such a decadent life, but still has to move forward alone and tragically.
She is observant, strong in action, and has a high sense of responsibility, mission, and justice. But even so, she still did not notice the strangeness of her son before his death, which is undoubtedly a large-scale denial of her upbringing qualifications as a mother and the professional quality of a detective. So, I really want to know how the screenwriter wants her to overcome her inner demons and get out of the trauma, instead of carrying everything silently.
Series Director Craig Zobel said in an interview with Vanity Fair: "She (Mare) needs to be the person to overcome her demons in order to be able to solve the detective story in the last two episodes ... Mare very much is repressed and pushes away anything that looks like feelings. In my mind, the show is about Mare having to deal with her past grief in order to be good at her job, essentially.”
Everyone in this TV series, whether adults or children, is almost troubled, and has been impacted and traumatized in different degrees and forms (such as substances, other people, interests, etc.), and everyone chooses or gives up self-healing. The methods are also different. Mare uses vaping, alcohol, detective work, one-night-stand sex, focus on grandson Drew; Siobhan relies on music, videos, girlfriends, missing brother; Ryan uses long silences and occasional outbursts of uncontrollable violence; Erin Relying on diary, son DJ, and talking with friends. . . And life, to a large extent, is to reconcile with your own pain, to face and understand the source of your own pain, and to move forward with pain; And the fallen stranger; if the stranger does not accept help, then you can choose to continue on the road alone or stop to rescue.
After losing her son a few years ago, Mare never believed in psychotherapy. From the negative, questioning, and resisting emotions she initially held, to gradually being willing to talk, recall, and release some emotions, it was a kind of self-therapy she didn't know about. heal. In the course of several therapy sessions, Kate's performance shows a person's process of resisting to gradually softening things that he doesn't trust in himself. The acting is natural and worth recalling and contrasting.
I personally hold a certain skeptical attitude towards therapy, because: 1. It depends on how the psychotherapist feels to me, whether the TA is trustworthy, including the TA's character, professional ability, affinity, responsibility, etc.
2. Psychotherapists generally do not give TA personal direct analysis of your psychology and trauma, but TA will listen and ask some in-depth questions to better understand you so that TA can make a better medical diagnosis or introduce to others in the future .
3. How many traumatic experiences can you recall? Are your oldest memories of your childhood objective and comprehensive, etc. Sometimes you may not even know the source of your pain, let alone a third party?
4. If you need to pay out-of-pocket or have insurance benefits, there is actually a conflict of interest between you and the physiotherapist. If psychological counseling or physical therapists open their own clinics, they naturally hope that customers can become a long-term and stable source of customers. Of course, out of professionalism, I believe that the vast majority of physiotherapists will not use other people's pain and information obtained during treatment to improve their own financial or other related interests. However, counselors and physical therapists are also human beings. Although they have more professional knowledge, they will also have their own interests and needs.
5. Ultimately, you must rely on yourself to help yourself, although some patients may need to rely on medication or the assistance of a physical therapist. But if you don't have the will, belief and motivation to save yourself, how can you finally get out of the pain?
Recently, when I write drama reviews, I prefer to combine reality. The purpose is to alert everyone. A good film and television work should not only be appreciated and entertained by the audience; the material of the work itself, the message the production team wants to convey, the different interpretation methods of each of us audiences, and what we have learned from the drama, in my opinion Equally or even more important.
Regarding girls missing, kidnapped, held captive, traded, slaved, sold, raped, murdered, etc., there are many closed cases, cold cases, solved and unresolved cases in reality. Among them, very few rely on their own wisdom and will to insist Survival escape story. From those survivor stories, I learned the following:
1. Never actively put yourself in a dangerous situation. For example, don’t go out alone in the middle of the night, don’t wear headphones and look at your phone when you’re alone, don’t be alert, go to unfamiliar places, it’s better to have someone with you or inform others in advance, if you’re going on a first date with someone you don’t know, be cautious and don’t wear Exposed clothing (I fully agree that how to dress is everyone's own freedom and choice, but only if you have enough ability to protect yourself), etc.
2. Trust your intuition, stay alert, watch, and think. Be bold but also be observant. Be curious but also be viligant. Be trusting/hopeful but also be prepared.
3. No matter how desperate and adversity you are in, don't give up your will to survive easily. If you sometimes have to give up something you cherish, don't give up on yourself first.
4. Do more exercises to enhance physical strength and self-defense skills.

I feel like I underestimated this drama. From the beginning to the middle of the show, it's not that special. A girl in a small town is kidnapped and killed, a deja vu plot. At the beginning, the feeling of this drama was just dull, and I even fell asleep watching it. But the series of reversals in the second half made me suddenly feel that many seemingly irrelevant threads and details were ignored before, and the main idea of this drama was also reflected very warmly in the last episode "We are born to love".
The wonderful thing about this drama is that even if you watch it from beginning to end, even if you already know the final ending, you still want to watch it again from beginning to end, rehearse the plot again, and think about the clues again. Those seemingly unintentional and almost negligible conversations are one after another ingenious foreshadowing.
Kate Winslet has indeed created a very full-bodied Mare (Marianne), her deep pain, she has undertaken the pain from many sides in the most selfless and generous way, her mother was unable to change her husband when she was growing up Passed on to her; misunderstanding, mistrust and hostility of the girl's mother and the townspeople before she rescued the missing girl; the son's harsh words towards her because of the side effects of the drugs; the daughter because she couldn't bear to witness her brother's death Therefore, the resentment and hatred transferred to her; the friend lost her son and husband because of her selflessness and sense of justice, and the resentment after the family was broken. These characters have experienced ups and downs and pains in their lives. At the same time, they do not know how to deal with their own pain rationally; they threw and vent their pain on Mare, either intentionally or unintentionally, and Mare responded with restrained silence. The viciousness and hatred imposed on her by the people closest to her in the world because of their selfishness, cowardice, and powerlessness. She endured all negative abilities in silence and forbearance. Why didn't she fight back? She has, but very weakly. She is more silent. Because she can understand the pain of loss and irreparability, she uses silence to face those harsh words, and uses actions to make the most rational and effective answer.
She procrastinated and resisted facing her pain by burying herself in her work. She deals with her own pain negatively by actively helping others. She uses the scouting method she is best at to divert her inner self, which she is least good at dealing with.
Maybe we sometimes ask this question: Why is God sometimes so cruel, to let ourselves go through so much pain and suffering? I think the sufferings we experience in our life, big and small, must have their own specific meaning. These sufferings are not meant to make us bitter and bitter, they are meant to make us kinder and kinder, more loving and compassionate people, just because we, too, have been through those painful experiences. Perhaps it is difficult for us to escape easily and look at it with relief at the moment of suffering, but I believe that on the eve of the end of our life, we will definitely have a clear and enlightened answer to the thousand sails we have experienced in this life. I believe that each of us came into this world not to bring more pain to others, although it may be inevitable at times, but more must be to heal and support each other, and to do good to each other.
To paraphrase the review I wrote for "I am ALL GIRLS": If the human heart is so vicious, then I believe in how good the human heart can be. I think, besides hope, what saves people's hearts is kindness and kindness. Kindness and kindness are not powerless, they are beautiful, selfless, and just. Kindness may be that I have nothing to do with you, but when you are in trouble and can't ask for help, I take the initiative to protect you and help you quietly. Kindness may be the ultimate tolerance. Even if you and I have different positions, I respect your views, and even try to understand the reasons for your words and actions from the beginning of understanding your background. Kindness may be that you have encountered a lot of misfortunes yourself, but you still use your meager strength to export the kindness you can to the world. Kindness may be when others say bad things to you, and you reciprocate them with kind words and good deeds.

The following is excerpted from WebMD (written in April 2019) for reference:
“Psychiatry and psychology are overlapping professions. Practitioners in both -- psychiatrists and psychologists -- are mental health professionals. Their area of expertise is the mind -- and the way it affects behavior and well-being. They often work together to prevent, diagnose, and treat mental illness. And both are committed to helping people stay mentally well.
But there are differences between psychiatry and psychology. And people sometimes find those differences confusing, especially when they are looking for help. To make matters even more confusing, psychiatrists and psychologists aren't the only mental health professionals you can choose from. There are mental health counselors, social workers, nurses and nurse practitioners, and others who deal with issues of mental health. And if you consider the multiple approaches to treatment, ranging from counseling to various forms of psychotherapy , the whole mental health system begins to look like a maze that's nearly impossible to navigate.
But here's a guide you can use to help you make your way through that maze.
Where to Start
Issues with mental health, especially if they're chronic (persistent or recurring often), can be debilitating. Your body can respond physically to depression or anxiety much like it does to physical illness. And sometimes, mental problems can actually be caused by a physical condition. So the first person to see if you think you are having a mental problem is your primary care doctor .
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms, how long you've been having them, and whether they're constant or come and go. Your doctor will check for physical problems that could be causing your symptoms and help you decide what type of mental health professional and what kind of therapy might be best for you.
Types of Mental Health Professionals
Your doctor might refer you to any of the following mental health professionals:
Psychiatrist. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MD or DO) who specializes in preventing, diagnosing, and treating mental illness. A psychiatrist's training starts with four years of medical school and is followed by a one-year internship and at least three years of specialized training as a psychiatric resident. A psychiatrist is trained to differentiate mental health problems from other underlying medical conditions that could present with psychiatric symptoms. They also monitor the effects of mental illness on other physical conditions (such as problems with the heart or high blood pressure ), and the effects of medicines on the body (such as weight , blood sugar, blood pressure , sleep, and kidneyor liver functioning).
As a doctor, a psychiatrist is licensed to write prescriptions . Many mental disorders -- such as depression , anxiety , ADHD , or bipolar disorder -- can be treated effectively with specific drugs. If you are working with a psychiatrist, a lot of the treatment may be focused on medication management. Sometimes medication alone is enough to treat the mental illness. Sometimes a combination of medication and psychotherapy or counseling is needed. If that is the case, the psychiatrist may provide the psychotherapy, or the psychiatrist may refer you to a counselor or other type of mental health professional.
Psychologist. A psychologist has a doctoral degree (PhD, PsyD, or EdD) in psychology, which is the study of the mind and behaviors. Graduate school provides a psychologist an education in evaluating and treating mental and emotional disorders. After completing graduate school, a clinical psychologist completes an internship that lasts two to three years and provides further training in treatment methods, psychological theory, and behavioral therapy.
Licensed psychologists are qualified to do counseling and psychotherapy, perform psychological testing, and provide treatment for mental disorders. They are not, though, medical doctors. That means that, with the exception of a few states, psychologists cannot write prescriptions or perform medical procedures . Often a psychologist will work in association with a psychiatrist or other medical doctor who provides the medical treatment for mental illness while the psychologist provides the psychotherapy.
Licensed Mental Health Counselor. A psychological counselor is a mental health professional who has a master's degree (MA) in psychology, counseling, or a related field. In order to be licensed, the professional counselor also needs two additional years' experience working with a qualified mental health professional after graduate school. A mental health counselor is qualified to evaluate and treat mental problems by providing counseling or psychotherapy.
Clinical Social Worker. A clinical social worker has at least a master's degree in social work and training to be able to evaluate and treat mental illnesses. In addition to psychotherapy, social workers can provide case management and hospital discharge planning as well as work as an advocate for patients and their families.
Psychiatric or Mental Health Nurse. Some nurses have had special training in providing mental health services. Depending on their level of training and certification, they can evaluate patients for mental illness and provide treatment in the form of psychotherapy. In some states, they are also licensed to prescribe and monitor medications, sometimes independently and sometimes under the supervision of a medical doctor. Nurses also provide case-management services and serve as patient advocates.
The Difference Between Counseling and Psychotherapy
Although the terms counseling and therapy are often used interchangeably, there is a difference between psychotherapy and psychological counseling. Counseling focuses on specific issues and is designed to help a person address a particular problem, such as addiction or stress management. The focus may be on problem solving or on learning specific techniques for coping with or avoiding problem areas. Counseling is also usually more short-term than therapy.
Psychotherapy is more long-term than counseling and focuses on a broader range of issues. The underlying principle is that a person's patterns of thinking and behavior affect the way that person interacts with the world. Depending on the specific type of psychotherapy that is being used , the goal is to help people feel better equipped to manage stresses, understand patterns in their behavior that may interfere with reaching personal goals, have more satisfying relationships, and better regulate their thinking and emotional responses to stressful situations. If someone has a form of mental illness such as depression , bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or an anxiety disorder, psychotherapy also addresses ways in which the illnesses affects their daily life, focusing on how to best understand the illness and manage its symptoms and follow medical recommendations.
Types of Psychotherapy
There are numerous approaches to psychotherapy, also called talk therapy, from which mental health professionals draw their treatment practices. Different types of psychotherapies are often better-suited to specific types of problems. For example, some psychotherapies are designed mainly to treat disorders like depression or anxiety, while others focus more on helping people overcome problems with relationships or obstacles to greater life satisfaction. Some forms of psychotherapy are one-on-one with a therapist, while others are group-based or family-based. According to the American Psychological Association, those approaches fall into five broad categories.
Psychoanalytic or psychodynamic therapies. The idea behind this kind of therapy is that people's lives are affected by unconscious issues and conflicts. The goal of the therapist is to help the person bring those issues to a conscious level where they can be understood and dealt with. This may involve analyzing dreams or exploring a person's personal history.
Behavioral Therapy. This approach to therapy focuses on learning and behavior in an effort to change unhealthy behavioral patterns. Some therapists try to help patients learn new associations by using a system of reward and punishment to bring about certain behavioral changes. Another approach might involve a controlled series of exposures to a phobia trigger to desensitize a person to an unreasonable fear.
Cognitive Therapy. The emphasis in cognitive therapy is on a person's thoughts. The idea is that dysfunctional thinking is what leads to dysfunctional emotions or behaviors. The goal is to help the person recognize unhealthy thinking patterns and to recognize and change inaccurate beliefs.
Humanistic Therapy. This approach to therapy is based on the idea that people are capable of making rational choices and developing their maximum potential. This approach to therapy is often client centered, with the client being seen as the authority on what is going on inside.
Integrative or Holistic Therapy. This approach relies on integrating multiple approaches to therapy based on the client's individual needs. For instance, cognitive behavioral therapy is a combination of the two individual therapies and focuses on both thought and behavior.
Getting Started With a Mental Health Professional
Finding the right mental health professional and the right approach to therapy is as important as finding the right medical doctor. Whether you are planning to see a psychologist or a psychiatrist or another type of mental health professional, you should start with a phone call to the professional. Ask about the professional's approach to dealing with mental issues and how they generally work with clients. Ask about whether or not they accept insurance and how payments are handled. You might describe your reason for wanting to make an appointment and ask if they are experienced in dealing with such issues. If you are comfortable talking with them, the next step is to make an appointment.
At your first office visit, the mental health professional will want to talk with you about why you think you need to come to therapy. They will want to know about what your symptoms are, how long you've had them and what, if anything , you've done about them in the past. They will probably ask you about your family and your work as well as what you do to relax. This initial conversation is important in developing the appropriate approach to treatment. Before you leave the office, the mental health professional should describe to you the plan for treatment and give you an opportunity to ask any questions you might have.
It will likely take several weeks before you become fully comfortable with your therapy. If you still aren't feeling comfortable after two or three visits, let the mental health professional know and explain why you feel that way. The two of you need to work together as a team in order to get the most out of your treatment.
