LOL
Alchemy is well respected ... only we call it now chemistry.
And psychology is about the most complex item we know about, the human mind.
Just because you cant press it into formulas doesnt mean its not very serious.

Well, my point is that (to me) psych is still an immature science, which is at about the same level of maturity as alchemy wrt chemistry. But like I said, I've never had any experience of any kind of 'therapy', short of novels, film/TV and now comics.

You have to tell Dora she's the prettiest.

I'd disagree on that point. I don't think that Dora has a high need to be considered the prettiest or be the centre of attention.
I do think that her closest relationship with a man (Sven) has coloured her approach to relationships and to accept behaviour from her partners that she see's him giving to his. I suspect that this has now led her to expect poor treatment and now cannot seek emotional security within a relationship. Such are the dangers of looking up to someone who is both a poor role model and unaware of their impact on you.
Quite a well written parallel here that at the same time Dora is effectively sabotaging a good thing, Sven is showing remorse for the sort of behaviour that has caused that. My advise to Marten is to kick Sven in the nads and then get him to wingman him into a good relationship.
At this point I'm now going to headdesk myself for analysing fictional characters with a side order of facepalm for even considering offering them advice.

And Dora doesn't get it, of course.

Well, George was no slouch either.
Arancaytar:
I can see why Dora isn't visiting Dr. Corinne as well, but come on, that would have been hilarious.
iduguphergrave:
I'm glad Dora's finally seeing a therapist but I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel a little cheated we didn't get to see it. :-( Then again, there'll definitely be more.
Also, I've never heard of someone having a counselor of the opposite gender. None of mine have been. I'd feel a little self-conscious if a man was my therapist; I'd feel like I was talking to my dad.
