Make a note of the American drama, some lines are excerpted. Count as my drama notes.
In the last episode of the first season, Gina tried to persuade Paul to give up Laura for several months, but it still didn't work. The patient could only make his own life decision, and Paul's decision was to find Laura.
But even so, he and Laura couldn't get any closer, he had a last-minute anxiety attack, and Laura realized at the last minute that she had been using sex as a surrogate for escaping true feelings, while Paul was using her as an escape Alternatives to Midlife Crisis.
Paul went to Gina, and Gina affirmed Paul's anxiety attack. In the end, his conscious still made his own choice. So, even when an anxiety attack doesn't seem to go according to plan, our subconscious mind has actually made a choice for us, give yourself some credit.
The season ends when Paul says with deep suspicion, Whats left me for me now Gina.
This may be the beginning of his official realization of his midlife crisis.
We have to talk about that. Gina answered.
It's a really good show. HBO stopped after 3 films, alas, it's considered a good show.

I'm sorry for bargining in like this
I was through with driving us both crazy.
anxiety attack
classic textbook panic attack
you see this as betrayal as though you sabotaged yourself, I dont see it that way.
that anxiety attack was yours, it wasn't extenal , it was you ,what restrained you was the very best of your deepest standards ,personal ,and professional and moral .
moral decisions dont come from the own concious ,Im not gonna let myself out the hook that easily.
paul ,you steered yourself away from doing something that you knew you would regret ,you saved yourself from being hurt ,and from hurting a woman that you cared about.
Do you think that moral decisions are always made in the absence of temptation?that they are made easily ?that they are made gracefully?
Give yourself some credit.If you were able to make this decision easily it would be a sign that you didnt want her that badly,but you did ,you wanted her so very badly,so badly that you had an anxiety attack in order to stop yourself,so in the end you won ,you prevailed.
thank you for trying to console me.
I'm not consoling you,I just want you to take the credit and the resposibility ,for what you did ,
you know what she said , she said that she's come to understand what she is being doing ,using sexual relationships to free yourself from emotional entanglements that she does not want to do it anymore .
She said that what I was doing that I was using her to bail myself out of my life that actually I was having a midlife crisis.
