Catherine OHara plays Joels therapist in Jackson, Wyoming.
Showrunner Craig Mazinrecently told GamesRadar+, Wouldnt everyone need a therapist?
Yeah, therapy would be an incredibly valuable thing.
After decades living through the apocalypse people shouldn’t look this good.
The interesting thing about therapy is not everybody walks in there and tells the truth.
I think therapists know that better than anyone.
So what does he choose to say?
What, how does he define his problem?
A lot of people lie in therapy to their therapists, yes, but also to themselves.
You have to find those cognitive distortions so that fix them.
Joel has a very major one that decision he made on Ellies behalf.
We see it in the trailer, when he seemingly insists to his therapist that he saved her.
But even if it doesnt, this addition still has value.
