Barmymoo:
Tai is not, and should not have to be, Dora's therapist. What she did was carefully deflect something she probably recognised as a potential serious problem so that the conversation could be defused and continue without drama. It wasn't exactly the time or the place to have a deep in-depth conversation about Dora's insecurities, really.
Mlle Germain:
Yeah, that is more or less what I meant as well, but better worded!
Kugai:
I think Tai is going to surprise us in regards to this.

No she is a friend, and a lover. THIS IS WHAT FRIENDS DO.
Difference between a true friend and a therapist is a true friend doesn't charge you. At least that's what I've found over the years.
Barmymoo:
Friends are supportive and caring but they aren't required to sit down and talk out every single issue every time it comes up. A therapist's sole job is to help someone talk though the things which are problems for them, and be an uninvolved sounding board. Tai's role is much more complicated and she's got legitimate self-interest. And really, is it a bad thing that she's navigated the conversation into a place where Dora can feel confident in Tai's feelings for her, and where the mood is light and positive, instead of dwelling on negatives and possibly getting into an argument which would make Dora's issues worse?
I've been put in the position of trying to be a therapist for a friend who would, in other circumstances, have been a lover, and it destroyed our relationship.
