Dr. Paul Weston
- Dr. Gina Toll: The truth is, despite everything, I really do think you're a good therapist. You tell me you're no help to your patients. But when you describe them, it's clear to me how carefully you listen. You have a great ear. You have a great sense of empathy.
- Dr. Paul Weston: Then, why am I failing them?
- Dr. Gina Toll: It's not about you, Paul. You know, they're human beings. They're struggling with profound problems. If only you could find courage to sit with the fact that what we do is hard, and sometimes it makes you feel like an idiot. It's a humbling profession. And if you lack *anything* as a therapist, it's humility. Somehow you have to learn to tolerate the fact that we don't save people. We can't.
- Dr. Paul Weston: Sometimes I feel like I'm this great tree giant Powerful and they're gonna Live their whole lives beneath my shade.
- Dr. Paul Weston: and then sometimes I feel like all my leaves have just fallen away and I can't do anything for them except block the view.
