Sophie - the prickly girl who longs for love

Lavonne 2022-03-24 08:01:04

Sophie, a 16-year-old girl and gymnast, broke both arms on the eve of the Olympic selections and was unable to enter the training camp. She may also face the trouble of subsequent disqualification or prosecution, and was required to participate in a psychiatric evaluation for suicide.

When she was initially evaluated by the social worker, she conflicted with her, believing that the social worker, like her mother, was reluctant to listen to her and pretended to know herself. So I was recommended by my mother to come to Paul's clinic.

Sophie showed a strong sense of contradiction. His arm was injured and he couldn't open the door, but he refused Paul's help. On the surface, the angry mother called Paul and said that she did not understand her words, but in fact, she was angry to find out if her mother had called. A girl covered in thorns, refusing to be approached by others, lonely and desperate.

Sophie began to learn gymnastics at the age of 6 and a half, and won the national championship at the age of 12. Her parents were divorced and their relationship was bad. She was unwilling to sit together to watch her competition. My father was busy with his exhibition photography and moved from place to place, so he didn't have time to take care of her, but he could listen to her occasionally. The mother is unwilling to understand her and understand her, treat her like a child and not allow her to make decisions. She also has a bad relationship with the girls on the gymnastics team, high-intensity competition, laughing at each other and jealous. The only person who makes her feel cared is the coach Cy, but Cy takes advantage of Sophie's desire for love, exploits her, and may have an incestuous relationship with her.

Sophie is terrified as she swings on a perilous boat, unsupported and precarious. She worries that she won't be selected for the Olympiad, which appears to be her only crown. She hoped that her parents would care about her and listen to her talk about her feelings and thoughts, but that was impossible, so she had a car accident. She still couldn't get what she wanted. She was injured and lay in an ambulance and was reluctant to give her parents' phone numbers.

This experience of wanting to care and being repeatedly rejected has led Sophie to develop conflicting relationships. She yearns for love and refuses to be approached by others. Maybe she is afraid of not getting it, maybe she feels unworthy, or maybe she is afraid of being used.

Let's see how Paul avoids the rose thorn step by step, connects with Sophie, and opens her package.

1. The first attempt to approach

sophie said a lot of annoying people and things. In short, he refused to admit that he was suicidal, and he was unwilling to talk about life, let alone parents. I just want to get Paul's assessment report as soon as possible, and I can leave if I find myself mentally normal.

The turning point was when Sophie said that since Paul could not give professional advice, he should go on his own. Paul did not express any objection. Maybe this was different from what Sophie's mother did. Sophie was willing to open a small window. Paul didn't read her report, sophie was sad and felt that Paul wasn't interested in her either. Paul assured her that he would love to know her and care about her. She insisted that he should read the report, paul read the report honestly, and sophie started to talk about herself through books (whether she really likes it or pretends, those books that don't look at the top are really pitiful), once it touches her own thoughts, she Indented into the shell again.

Sophie, who is sensitive and empathetic, found out that the counselor had asthma and threw the medicine bottle at him. The consultant said that he had searched for a long time and could not find it, but found it today. She became willing to talk about death, but was still reluctant to talk about her own problems. She was anxious and wanted to drink water. Sophie was delighted when the counselor inserted a straw and told her it was for small patients. Paul asked her what was the saddest thing, and Sophie said being treated like a child.

Sophie wants to enjoy caring and have her own autonomy. Her mother doesn't understand her, but cares about the glory of gymnastics. In the face of pressure, she hopes that someone can care about her and encourage her, and can tell her that she is okay. Paul mirrors this part, sophie develops a maternal empathy, and she hopes to have the treatment of Paul's daughter.

At the end Paul gave her an assignment to write an assessment report of herself with her father or mother.

2. Twice the surface texture of the second time

The second time, Paul overheard Sophie's conversation with Cy in the car. Sophie came in wet and asked Paul if she could change her clothes. Paul refused and called his wife Kate to help. Kate's tenderness and concern softened a lot of sophie's thorns, and sophie had begun to trust him. She asked paul "are you a quack doctor", instead of directly classifying paul as a hateful person like her parents. The relationship between Paul's face and the phone call, which was finally established, has dropped to a freezing point, and Sophie has withdrawn again.

Later Sophie talks about the bad relationship with the gym girl, Paul guesses the word and person for anorexia and bulimia, and the relationship eases a bit. Then Paul read the unfinished report, sophie started to cry, she should not have thought that she was so beautiful in Paul's eyes, so the relationship with her parents began to appear in the topic.

Paul also said that he tried Sophie's brushing posture, which reflected the helpless and useless feeling that Sophie was unwilling to face, and the counseling relationship further deepened. Paul gave a second face. Paul's interpretation of Sophie's attempt to seduce him is that in Sophie's life, someone broke the rules and took advantage of her, and she wanted to test whether it would be the same here to confirm safety.

The second facelift was a success.

Sophie talked about the car accident and the death. She expected her parents to take care of her when she was injured, but she still didn't get it, and she injured two arms. She sat in the ambulance, imagining someone looking in with concern, but there was nothing but herself. Sophie is so desperate and lonely, no wonder she always hopes to follow her teammates to training camp in California, even if she can't participate in training.

Her relationship with Cy is still a taboo, and she's waiting for an opportunity to open it up.
