    One thing in an interview the lady who plays the therapist said that there was so much extemporaneous acting between Anthony Mackie and Sebastián Stan there was hours of footage they did not use in the couple therapy scene.

    One thing that really struck me with those scenes in the police station was the apparent conflicting priorities of the therapist. She's giving honest helpful advice to Bucky that "nobody gets hurt," which seems to be that he should avoid violent situations. Yet as far as the government are concerned, her mandate seems to be to get Bucky into a space where he can be functional to go back in the field. It does leave me wondering if they'll develop that further later on where she priorities what's best for him over what the people paying her bills want.

    Yes, it did appear from the couples therapy scene that the therapist did not have to work that hard, as both people seem to have enough of a bond that they weren't "cold," confrontational or throwing things at each other. If they were fighting more bitterly the meeting would have been much harder. So the film therapist should have been reinforcing the communication with "did you hear him?" comments. Bucky had already been through sessions for months, so it's not surprising that he opened up more readily.

    As a veteran I can relate to this friendship. I have some members I served with I consider brothers, and defiantly remember having words and rough times.

    What do you say about the red journal she‘s having? I know many therapists have their notebooks but especially with Bucky‘s history shouldn’t she be a little more careful with it? In the very first episode she gets it out and slams it on her thigh a little to aggressively which is a 100% trigger for Bucky‘s PTSD. In the past every time someone got out a red book he lost control over his life and was forced to kill.

  • @Bad_Wolf_Media
    @Bad_Wolf_Media 3 роки тому +25

    One thing - I believe - about the aggressiveness of the therapist (taking his phone and calling him out on the lack of friends, etc) in this show is that she's former military, dealing with other former military clients, likely dealing with PTSD. She's more gruff and belligerent because that's a type of communication that soldiers understand. It's a form of bonding, and it's not limited to "guy talk" or anything, either. It's just...a different form of relationship.
    Now, I don't know if this is accurate to reality, as far as how therapists work, even dealing with military members. But that is, again, I believe, the characterization they're shooting for with her scenes.

    • @dragonwings36

    I would love to see you react to the rest of this series. Having seen episode 4, there are at least two very poignant scenes to gain some therapy insights from you, but it would depend on what happens by the end of episode 6. I got this video recommended from watching a UA-cam channel Implicitly Pretentious who provides commentary that has a more philosophical approach to the type of discussions you create as a therapist. So if you don't plan on covering the rest of this series (which I still hope you do!), I would at least recommend that channel to you!

  • @richardbrown3055
    @richardbrown3055 3 роки тому +9

    For me, the premise of this show is not about the two becoming friends, these two became instant friends the moment they met, and have spent every moment since denying it as loudly as they can, this show is about the pair of them dealing with their respective issues, while even more loudly denying that they have reached best friend status.
    As for the Therapist calling out Bucky on his cellphone, I would assume her approach has some Adlerian influences, where pointing and confronting clients on the inconsistencies between what they do and say helps to maintain the authenticity of the established relationship. Personally I’ve found it especially effective with clients who have military backgrounds as they tend to distrust people they don’t feel are being forthright with them.
    One of the other pieces to consider is the character Sam is himself a trained counsellor, who used to work with veterans. It can also be said to be a good portrayal of how counsellors can struggle to heed the same advice they would give their clients, and so need people to fill that role in their lives.

    What has been overlooked so far is that Sam did try to talk to Bucky, but Bucky was ignoring him. There is no way he would not have discussed the shield with Bucky before giving it up, if they were on speaking terms. In my head canon, he spoke to Rhodey after Bucky wasn't responding. Rhodey too thinks Sam giving up the shield is a mistake, but that's ok. Sam needed communication, not validation.
    And when Walker is declared Cap, Bucky shows up angrily demanding answers. Some nerve! Don't get me wrong, I adore Bucky (even more than Sam) and his journey up to admitting his mistakes was beautiful to watch. But Sam is just more empathetic and patient to wait for Bucky to get to the place where he can accept help. All this while dealing with his own demons and saving the world.

    I'm not a therapist or psychologist, but I had a decent amount of therapy and I have worked as social service provider and I am really not vibing with the therapy. I know that they're play of earlier buddy cop work that featured no nonsense style therapists, but it a bit much. If spoke to my clients especially the ones known trauma I would be potential looking at ethics discussions or mandatory retraining depending on the circumstances. As funny as certain bits of the couples session where I was extremely uncomfortable how she basically guilted Sam into the session in an interrogation room after been profiled by the police. Group work in my experience is only productive if all party feel secure, willing, and ready and the set up for that session seems like none of those things especially for Sam. Also, I gone back over the scene several times now I am still not sure who the session was to be for, because she is Bucky's therapist, but she ropes Sam in and calls it a couples session, but her focus still be on Bucky and his needs, which also isn't a great set up for group work and making sure everyone feels heard.

I know the therapy is court mandated (which also isn't often quality care) and she is a veteran but I know several people that serviced or were with the VA and now do private practice with pro bono or sliding scale work with other veterans and other populations have issues access care (though one would hope Bucky got his backpay). Either way I think my broader points about her actions her actions ethical questionable still stand especially when comes to pulling Sam into that surprise session.

    I wish Bucky would listen to Sam. To me, as much as I love Bucky as a character (he's defenitely one of my favourites and one of the most interesting in the MCU), he was a little bit selfish in the therapy session and I think he's trying to measure his self-worthiness on Sam when he says that if Steve was wrong about Sam then he was wrong about him too. It's not fair to Sam that he's doing so, his healing journey and his self esteem should not depend on Sam. Sam has plenty of reasons to not want that shield (first of all, Steve didn't even ask Sam if he wanted it, he just kinda dumped it on Sam without considering what it could mean for him) and not wanting that shield doesn't make him less of a good person. I understand that Bucky has gone through a lot, that he's alone and that the shield is the only thing he has left of Steve, but he didn't even try to listen to Sam and I hope that as the show goes on he learns to listen as they become friends. Overall, I agree, their dynamic is so adorable, I love the banter! (I apologise if my English isn't perfect)

      I mean that's probably also due to the fact that pretty much everyone thought Bucky was past saving too. Perhaps he saw a bit of himself in her. Although there's no real parallels. Karli is an incredibly selfish individual who willingly kills because she narcissistically believes her cause is right. Bucky was a conscripted soldier who killed to protect his friends in the war, and later was forced into it against his will.

The one thing that gives him hope is that Steve never gave up on him and always saw the good in him. So he fears that - if Steve was wrong about deeming Sam worthy of being the next Captain America - Steve may also have been wrong with believing in Bucky to be a good man.

    Wow I am so glad I stumbled upon this, I find your analysis as a therapist fascinating. I have been a professional tarot card reader for 20 years and deal with a lot of various trauma and personal issues. I certainly am not as skilled as you but over the years have become a pretty solid armchair psychologist. Thus watching those trained in such as yourself is helpful when trying to steer my clients in the right direction. Many times I try to encourage them to seek out help from people like you. So very insightful, keep up the amazing work!

    I feel like at the end of the couples therapy scene, when Bucky asks "What was rule number 2 again?" And she says "No one gets hurt." And he just has this sad look on his face before he leaves, it's like he's saying "So why did i have to get hurt emotionally." I think Bucky really wanted to be friends with Sam, he just has no clue how to approach it, so Sam saying "We'll never see each other again" really hurt him.
    Would love to see your take on the scene of them talking while throwing the shield back and forth, as well as that whole arc of Bucky coming to help with the boat.

    I would disagree the Bucky understands Sam’s apprehension as much as you think. If he did I don’t think he would keep asking about the shield and also not just tell him to give his ID. Maybe he/s close tho and I’m sure the writers will get him there by end of season

      I feel like Bucky was thinking about the situation pragmatically. Sam did nothing wrong, but in a situation like that, refusing to cooperate with the cops would have just led to more trouble. If Sam had not been who he was, refusing to turn over his ID was about to make the situation even uglier.

    @ShadowRaccoon54 2 роки тому +1

    I know this is an older video, but I would love to see a breakdown of John Walker and how his mental state changed throughout the show. It's clear the pressure of being Captain America is weighing heavily on his shoulders and he wants to do good by his country and its people, but failure after failure starts getting to him, especially when he lost that fight to the Dora Milaje. He said "they don't even have powers" or something along those lines and I could tell his confidence was crushed. He could take losing to a group of people with super strength, but not to a non-powered person. Not to mention it was a non-powered woman he lost to and John grew up in a society that only saw women as weak. (This is just my speculation.)
    He became increasingly unhinged after that. Killing the member of the Flag Smashers in broad daylight, not mentally handling his dishonorable discharge very well, and then his outright turn to crazy mode when he ignored the court when they told him to return the shield, continued to use it and the suit, and kept yelling "I am Captain America! I am Captain America!"
    The shift of John's psyche from "I just want to help my country" to "I have to be the best" is worth exploring in my opinion.

    They both have a ways to go, and I don't think it will be all neatly wrapped up in a bow by the end of the show like people expect, just like people over expected what was to happen by the end of Wandavision.
    BUT what I DO expect is for them to both grow together and learn to deal with whatever shit they are dealing with both apart and together, and for it to set up them taking over Captain America and White Wolf instead of Falcon and Winter Soldier.
    And maybe, in growing together, they will decide that they are a team (even if they don't call it that) and they will hold the legacy of Cap together, even if Sam 'officially' takes the title. It would be a neat way for them to work in the idea of them both being Cap as they were in the comics, to have them working together as a Cap team rather then separate Caps at separate times.

    I watched this series and from the very beginning I did not like this therapist. She seemed to be very directive to me, dominating and roasting Bucky about his phone. At times she mentioned his negative things, e.g. he has no friends, no family, he is 100 years old. Even her tone of voice was not friendly and respectful at all. What do you think about it?
    Maybe it was her unusual method of motivating Bucky to pull himself together and move forward but I didn't receive any warm emotions from her. She seemed to be tired of Bucky's "stupid" or "childish" problems, as youcan hear at 6:44 when she put a lot of strong stress at "DON'T". Maybe she had just a occupational burnout.

    I think we can cut the therapist some slack, because what we see aren't complete sessions. They are edited not only for time, but for narrative reasons. And by edited I not only mean in post, but even in the writing phase. It would drag on a lot if we heard her jumping in and controlling the situation every time, so I think we can assume she did it and that's why Sam and Bucky know what to do, we just didn't see it.
