Transcript:
Cathy: What should I do about Alex, Charlene? Charlene: Good question. If I encourage you to break up, I'll have to listen to you whine about trying to meet someone new again and...no offense...but, ho-hum! If I encourage you to make up, I'll be hurling myself into the second phase of the relationship, which is when all the icky stuff comes up and, frankly, will take too much of my time. How will what I tell you to do affect me?? How will it inconvenience me?? What's the upside for me, me, me??!! Cathy: Oh, for crying out loud! Charlene: No one has any compassion for the therapist.
