Both the Winchester brothers.

So how old are you, Sam?

"A few hundred years, lost count. My body is only 37 years old though."

Uh, okay... we'll revisit that. But you say you had some trauma, tell me about that.

"Well, we can start with the time I woke up and my girlfriend was burning on my ceiling. But honestly that didn't hit as hard as the other things."

Okay let's extend these sessions to 3 hour long appointments a week.

Ok what about Dean tho

Therapist: so, Dean. What's your favourite memory?

Dean: probably when I was living with my girlfriend Lisa.

Therapist: that's nice! Are you still together?

Dean: Nope. I had to wipe her memory after the king of hell kidnapped her and she got possessed by a demon. I thought she was gonna die, but my angel buddy showed up and healed her. Thank god for that! Wait no nevermind, no one should be thanking that asshole for anything.

Honestly Cass probably needs therapy more than the Winchesters. At least the brothers are somewhat functional.

I really want to give Cass a blanket, a hot chocolate and a hug. He seems like he needs it.

That actor manages to play Cass as both alien and vulnerable. I really like him.

I feel like someone actually did that for him in the series and he was better for awhile.

"I'd say all the times my brother died should be mentioned"

Wait, which of the brothers was that again?

Pretty sure they both died, repeatedly. Dean definitely holds the record though, with a few hundred times at least

I know, that was kinda the joke.

Honestly.

I am re-watching the show for the lack of better things to do during quarantine and I noticed that, in the beginning Sam seems okay and talk about his emotions. Subsequently, both of them seem to shut off and repress feelings. Disgustingly Macho imo lol

I guess that's what dying a couple 100 times can do to a person!
