What shows have extended therapy arcs?

That is, which shows heavily involve therapy and sitting in and getting to watch characters recieve therapy in a therapists office/room. Maybe on a divan but not necessary.

Please post an outlet where it can be usually streamed (Streaming service)

I just discovered

Billions (Showtime)

The Sopranos (HBO)

Iamsqueegee,

Hannibal

i_am_a_cardboard_box,

The patient, with Steve Carell, amazing show, just one season though.

cheese_greater,

Thanks the hell for that :)

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks,

House, MD (Prime) had a season that focused on it.

Hannibal (Prime) is cat and mouse between an FBI profiler and his therapist.

ImmortanStalin,

Like 90% of “The Patient” is psychotherapy. The rest is plotting to escape a serial killer.

Hyacin,

Anger Management

Charliee Sheen?

Hyperdinobeast,

Stutz on Netflix is a great watch

cheese_greater,

Amazing, redeemeed himself from SuperBad (which was great in its ownway)

FrickAndMortar,

“Michael Tuesdays and Thursdays” was funny, but also had some layers to it; a very complicated patient and his therapist, who is writing a book about his care - so not always totally objective, as he has something to gain. And then that therapist also sees a therapist (played by the late, great Ed Asner) who seems to be going senile.

It’s funny, sometimes sad, sometimes very sweet, with a good cast.

Gonna go out on a limb and suggest you might want to just find yourself an actual therapist because this is a massively unhinged request regardless of what you’re trying to accomplish.

tiramichu,

A sweeping statement to make when you don’t know why OP is asking this.

Maybe they really enjoy watching the subtle conversational interplay of those therapy segments in shows, same way people might enjoy shows about the legal profession or politics.

Maybe they are writing a book and want to get some inspiration for how to structure their scenes.

Nothing unhinged about any of that.

cheese_greater,

Thanks for the hand 😇And don’t worry schizo top-level commenter, I have access to all the paid/private therapy I can eat 😉 Chomp!

Star Trek: Discovery has some, it’s not usually a major plot point, but it’s present.

Edit: How to watch: Borrow DVDs from the library. Free, ad free, and legal.

The Bright Sessions is a podcast, not a show, but it was super interesting, told from a fictional therapist’s point of view. The therapist helps people with superhuman abilities/curses (and depression, anxiety, etc.) learn how to manage their atypical lives. There’s more drama and time travel too but I forgot.

I listened on Google Podcasts.

Try not to use like Apple/Google podcasts, consider PocketCasts or some FOSS podcast app thats portable

Yeah, I’ve deleted it now in favor of AntennaPod, but I’ve also stopped listening to podcasts (no particular reason), so I haven’t actually used AntennaPod much.

cheese_greater,

Just save em for when you’re out walking or driving. I like having them for travel but I rarely can focus unless im on the go. Thats how ive always been with them

cheese_greater,

Try PocketCasts tho

Aiyeeee, its horror. I try to tay away from the genre but hopefully its of someinterest to someone here

JWBananas,
@JWBananas@startrek.website avatar

They call it horror. But it’s so much more than that.

cheese_greater,

The worst I can handle is Ring lol

JWBananas,
@JWBananas@startrek.website avatar

If you can handle Ring, you can handle Evil. It’s more of a surreal thriller. You might be pleasantly surprised! There are some horror aspects from time to time, but it isn’t about that. It’s basically “What if X-Files, but Catholics instead of aliens?”

cheese_greater,

Handle is even putting it over-generously lol

BennyInc,

After Life with Rick Gervais. But the therapist isn’t a good one 🤓

Pratai,

Shrinking. On Apple TV. Done by the same people that made Ted Lasso.

cheese_greater,

Will check out :)

MonsieurArchi,

This show is pretty good. I really loved it!

dylanmorgan,

In treatment with Gabriel Byrne is literally about a therapist and the patients he treats.

cheese_greater,

Where stream?

dylanmorgan,

HBO

cheese_greater,

Amazing stuff bro, thank you.

puppy,

Ted Lasso on Apple TV

cheese_greater,

Like, the couple’s therapy or is there something else?

TheRealKuni,

The second season has a very good therapy arc. Extends into the third season, somewhat. Though there are some…frustrating components in the third season. But overall it’s very good and worth it.

cheese_greater,

For who, singular or plural and who gets therapy?

TheRealKuni,

Originally one of the players gets therapy for the yips, but over to course of the second season many other players, and Ted Lasso himself, get therapy. It’s really well handled (considering the show isn’t primarily about therapy).

If you’ve seen the first season, you know Ted struggles with anxiety and panic attacks. Season 3 shows him continuing to work on these issues using tools he learned in season 2.
