Why does Dora need therapy?
Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: Dora ---I've TRIED to get over it, but I just can't.

If she can't get over something on her own despite having tried then it's time for her to escalate.

Germany. What you know as counsel(l)ing basically doesn't exist here, it's sometimes offered by social workers or independent "freelance" psychologists (medics of any kind are usually paid and regulated by our health insurances) and it doesn't count as medical treatment.
"Therapy" mostly includes mental homes, too many psychotropic drugs and people never again taking you serious.
And while the latter is not what Dora is aiming for, the idea of "psychological treatment" might leave a certain negative impression to some. Just thought I could mention it, in case that's part of stoutfiles' irritation about Dora needing/wanting therapy.

Oh, wow, that is sad. Freud, Jung and Adler are probably rolling in their graves to hear that counseling doesn't exist in their native land/lands.

Like Dragontart in Germany, you won't find many therapists or the such here, in fact you'd most likely only find one through a GP's referral. That said, when I was in secondary school my class teacher was the school's religion teacher, who was also a trained psychologist and who had a practise up in the North. According to him, the job of any therapist is to just listen to someone, to hear their problems and to offer a new, impartial perspective to a person. Thats their main purpose, to listen, its also the key to a good therapist.
Put it this way, if you have a bad tooth, you go to the dentist to have it removed or it gets infected. If you break your leg, you go to the hospital to have it fixed and placed in plaster or the bone or leg might not heal properly. If you have a problem or issues with trust, why shouldn't you talk to a trained professional about them? If you have a problem of trust that causes you to ruin a loving relationship, why shouldn't you talk about it with someone who wants to help you? Its the same principle.

Exactly! Just like you wouldn't fix your tooth yourself because you don't really have a clue about it... Dora in the same situation, she doesn't know how to get over it.
