I watched some plots intermittently and recorded some feelings:
1. The attacks and hostility encountered by the consultants are too great, and they really need professionalism. Laura's naked temptation to him, Alex's arrogance and unreasonableness at the first meeting, Sophie's incoordination, excitement, attack, Jake and army's endless quarrels and hostility. . . Encountering one is enough to digest. Paul seems to be used to it. He can always catch clues from the uncooperative and hostile conversations of the other party, and sincerely ask questions one by one, so that the visitors can see themselves better. Although this process is also full of many uncertainties, not everyone can have the courage to face their true self, there are many defenses and many struggles. But with each other's efforts, both sides gradually established a relationship of mutual trust. In the following plots, hostility, attack, and defense will be much less, replaced by trust and vulnerability.
2. I don’t know if the plot is deliberately exaggerated. From the audience’s point of view, the temptation of Laura can be clearly seen, Alex’s vulnerability hidden in a tough guy and a sense of superiority, Sophie’s loneliness after hysteria, stubbornness, jake The love under the mutual scolding with army. But as clients, this pattern is what they are accustomed to, and they find their own sense of security in this behavior pattern. Counselors are more likely to see from these daily interactions the part of the iceberg that everyone hides beneath the surface. Everyone lives with a mask and understands this. Will they be more compassionate and less hostile in their daily life?
3. Everyone in the play can see the shadow of themselves or the people around them. Some people are used to seducing men they like with their bodies, some people pursue perfection but hate themselves, some people are seeded athletes in Olympic sports but hate their attempts to commit suicide, some people are used to using the least amount of money with the closest person. Communicate in an intimate way. Duplicity is actually a normal state. We are always covering up something, we are always escaping something, and we are honest when we say no to our body.
