Will frames this work of self-reflection as surrender, which maybe doesn’t seem that “empowering”, whatever that word has come to mean. But to someone who spends much of his life fighting things beyond his control, there can be power in surrender. To complement this – and maybe mirror something we saw earlier with Jane – his therapist reminds him that he IS in control of more than he knows. |
This is such a sweet moment!
Also, I really appreciate the kinder tone you're taking in your commentary now. I know that you have always spoken from a position of having grown through the feelings and situations you're showing, and with the language you're using now it's a lot clearer the care and empathy you have for people going through this stuff.
It's ability to recognize and gauge a situation, certainly. I've got a lot of sympathy for Will in this page, this is also something I struggle with.
Gee, BIlly, how come your shrink lets you have TWO lollipops?
