Here's another way to express what's disturbing me about Evie and raising uncertainties which may or may not get comforting answers.
Evie is asking questions which she, of all people, should know are the type of questions that lead to insights and revelations.
The Pugnacious Peach has not given permission to be made self-aware.
Isn't that part of the social contract though? If you have a conversation, you may learn something. It may be something you didn't want to know, although chances are it'll just be finding out that the other person agrees with you that weather's awful. I don't expect to have to give consent to have my mind changed.
You seem to be saying that because Evie can be assumed to have the skills to drive a conversation in a certain way, she needs to make sure the other person is okay with her doing so. But I think that is placing far to much emphasis on the effectiveness of her training. Being a psychiatrist doesn't make you suddenly able to induce revelations in others with a few words- it would be amazing if it did, and scary. But in truth, analysis takes months, sometimes years, and doesn't just happen over coke and a burger. Evie isn't going to make Faye do anything or think anything as a result of asking leading questions. Worst case scenario she gets it entirely wrong, get's her foot wedged in her mouth and Faye chews her out.
Because Faye is not powerless, is not a shrinking violet, and has demonstrated that she is quite happy to tell people where to get off if they are out of line. But she hasn't. They're just talking. Faye has every right to say stop if she feels pressured or insulted, but she hasn't.
As to the idea that Evie is somehow practicing without a licence- just no. She and Faye are not in a proffesional relationship, Faye cannot be construed to be or have thought herself Evie's client, Evie has not charged for her services or even presented what she is saying as an expert opinion. What she and Faye discuss is not covered by patient/doctor priviledge, and only confidential insofar as any private conversation being held in a public place might be.
Seriously guys they are Just. Talking. Whether it is rude, impolite, personal, tmi- these are all things that Faye can feel, but it would be on her to say that. The reason Evie was being obnoxious before was because Bubbles *did* clearly say she was uncomfortable, many times and Evie ignored her. Faye has not said anything to indicate that Evie is out of line.
