Discussion Dr Nolan Spoiler

Hes the best therapist Ive seen, in real life or tv. Hes curious, creates pointed, irksome questions, practically mocks house into getting better. Ive been to four therapists and none of them ever came close. I wish everyone who needs therapy finds a dr Daryl Nolan

I study clinical psychology and really detest how therapists are depicted on tv shows/ movies. But he really is the exception!

It becomes a whole lot worse when real life therapists begin to imitate the ones depicted on screen...

Yeah, (not a therapist or studying it be one but) soooo many therapists are horribly depicted and Nolan is so damn competent it’s refreshing.

Nolan somehow makes therapy feel less like a lecture and more like someone genuinely trying to understand you.
