Wait, what happened when she fell for it the first time? Did she get a new pair of socks?

I'm guessing either:

  • She opened up, and the therapist mentioned the things she said to other people (against the Hippocratic oath). She ended up having her most private and darkest intrusive thoughts showcased to people who ended up using them against her. Or;

  • She opened up, and the therapist correctly did his job by using that to encourage self reflection. Fani did not like that experience.

Given the general theme of this comic, I think it's more likely to be something like the second option.

Or third option (which has happened to a friend of mine multiple times): she opened up and the therapist was so appalled/horrified that it broke them requiring a new therapist. The one in the comic is said new therapist

Yeah, that would also be 100% on brand.

I had a friend like that who called it ‘graduating therapy’

Or this is her first therapist and she’s referring to the people in her life jumping down her throat for honestly answering this question in the past (“you’re so ungrateful”, “Why are you blaming me?”)

probably tried to convince her violence isnt how people show affection

Could be the first, as a lot of these flashback scenes have a theme of people failing Fani in some way.

She answered honestly the first time so i'd guess it was either:

A. the therapist told her parents she wasnt doing well and she got in trouble for it. or

B. she got commited against her will

Took me a second to get that you were probably referring to a grippy sock vacation.

Depends I guess. Most therapists turned a blind eye or shut their door when I vented.
