      It's good to listen to them and follow the patient's thinking.

      Patient 1: I'm a black belt in Taekwondo and these things can't happen to me. Counselor: Fears, anxiety, compulsions can happen to anyone; Patient: When I was in school, they tested me and it was obvious that I was a genius. Consultant: Does the label of genius put a lot of pressure on you? Patient: Describe the label, I don't know how to feel safe. Counselor: Do you know why you feel this way? Patient: What? That's why I came to you.

      Patient 2: Do you think I'm a sex addict?...

      Shrink

      Just finished watching L.A. Confidential and Usual Suspects starring Kevin Spacey last week, so you can imagine how much I'm looking forward to this movie. Kevin Spacey is still very good in the film, and I was impressed by the multiple clues in the opening part, but beyond that I can't find much.
          In my understanding, the director's intention is to let people in distress know how to save themselves and take the first step bravely. The main characters in the film do it, but these...

      Live, can you not deceive yourself?

      A few days ago, when I was bored and bored, I opened Fengxing. Among the recommendations, I saw Kevin Spacey. The name of the movie is ordinary: Psychiatrist. Because I like "American Beauty" starring him, I ordered it on demand. When I first saw it, it was nothing, I felt that the colors were a little thicker, the rhythm was a little faster, and the details could be further explored. I didn't watch the bright tail as soon as it was exposed. It was a good feature film. At the time, I thought it...

      "Psychiatrist", "Tower of Babel" and "Crash"--Several Existential Movies


      The basic propositions of existential philosophy
       
      1. Existence precedes essence
             Existentialism believes that essence precedes existence is not an absolute and universal rule, it only applies to things, but not to people. 1. It refers to the existence of people, not the existence of things. "Things" can only "have", but not "exist". 2. It does not refer to the existence of ordinary people or human beings, but to the existence of specific, individual people. 3. It does...

      those things will pass

      It is another movie with many small stories worn together. Unfortunately, it lacks bright spots from beginning to end, and it is generally boring. This is the second time I have given a 2 star to Spacey's film after "21", because I always feel that his film should be better, not to mention that there is Robin in this one. But the actual situation once again proves that Hollywood screenwriters are really helpless, even the best acting school can't save them. No wonder more and more people have...

      How come I forgot to comment after watching it for so long... It's not an escape personality, it's a marijuana personality, a Spacey who smokes marijuana can kill a hundred hypocritical middle-class people, invincible, I love the theme of mid-life crisis, catch...

    Henry Carter, a well-known Los Angeles-based psychiatrist who can be called a "booming business"—has grown in number of senior patients in need of help in his work schedule: including an outdated Hollywood actress, a hilarious An agent with severe signs of OCD, and a best-selling thriller writer for insecurities. At the same time, Henry is also hosting one of the most popular psychological counseling radio programs as a well-known...

    Evaluation action

    Shrink is pure. The fledgling Thomas Moffett still lacks the necessary courage and means compared to a screenwriter of Fatih Akin 's level. In "On the Other Side of Life", Fatih Akin is forbearance, resolute, and full of restrained warmth to the characters who are also experiencing life changes; while Thomas Moffett makes all the sick characters in "Shrink" at the same time They all found an exit, as if they collectively opened their...
