He’s such a good dude. I can see why his wife is so crazy about him. Not only is he patient, he actually validates people’s feelings and opinions and their most vulnerable and negatives sides. That’s something we don’t see a lot with traditional doctors at all. They are very dismissive of patients because “I know anatomy better!” but every single physical condition is connected with the mind and the introduction of mental health in this way is great. This is truly what mental health care SHOULD look like. It doesn’t always because again, doctors and their egos but this is the platinum standard. I will say him relating to her, the patient, and talking about himself and his struggles with the same sort of issues is also just perfection. I’ve had a lot of therapy in my life and the only therapist I ever cared about and ever trusted (and still remember the name of) is a woman who on our first introduction talked about herself for 30 of the 60 minute session. She described her relationship to her job, her internal struggles with her relationships, how she was trying a new coffee and how she had a daughter my age. I learnt so much about her and in that moment, she was a human who wanted to help and support me rather than a doctor who wanted me in and out to pad their statistics. This dude Ethan does exactly the same thing and honestly I was shocked it was included but my gods does it make a difference! It’s been a decade since Natasha moved but I hope we see more of Natasha and Ethan in media and in real life. They truly are the light at the end of the dark tunnel! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
On that note: you are loved, worthy of love and kindness and worthy of happiness and joy just by your existence in this world. If no one has asked today: how are you? Really? I hope you’re okay! And if no one has said it today: thank you for existing. Thank you for doing your best every day. I love you. I care for you. You are amazing. I’m so very proud of you! Please drink some water! Please eat some food! Your ass looks great lol! Have a great day!!
