You never know, Mom might be a licensed therapist.
...yes I said that with a straight face, what of it?
Carl-E:
All moms are therapists, licensed or otherwise.
Well, they like to think they are.

Me, too. But she has a job now - the death of many a creative enterprise!

I lol'd :D
Every time I say "Jeph" (pbuh), I'll say pbuh afterwords. I might even say it in Arabic for added effect.

I'm not so sure of that, and although I do think Dora doesn't want to admit there's a problem, in this last strip she does seem to be giving up on that at least a tiny bit. Anyway, someone already mentioned that the minute Dora tries the "My friends made me" line, any therapist worth his/her certification is going to ask "And why do your friends think you need to be here?" I think this "it's not really a problem" response could be quickly countered by "Why did it ruin this relationship?" followed by, "And so you think there's someone out there who won't have something in his past that will bother you?" Basically, if Faye can take Dora down with aggression, then a calm, analytical person who's able to dissect each of these protests will be able to as well, and more thoroughly. At some point in this Dora will become angry and defensive, which is, of course, a manifestation of fear—we rarely become angry about what we're not afraid of, on some level, nor do we need to defend against that which does not frighten us.
So, while I'm certain Dora will manifest a variety of poses, at the root of all of it will be fear—at the root, what else are insecurities about? Personally, I hope she's not going to fight that hard, but past evidence does indicate that you're correct—she will. Sadly, it's the way these things work.

Certainly fear is at the root of pretty much all insecurities, but don't forget that the topic of this is the poll... and the poll is only about Dora's first day of therapy. I'm just more of the belief that it'll take more than a day to crack through her walls of denial and get to those fears... which would make the summation of her first day denial.
Is it cold in here?:
It will be interesting to see what Jeph does with the new character that will be introduced when Dora goes to therapy.
Also interesting to see if he'll make a therapy appointment funny. He managed it with Faye.
