Fleabag Therapy: Grief and Impulsivity - Therapist Reaction “Episode 2”

[@the.truth.doctor]

We are BACK! I'm so excited to dive into this series again with you all. Let me know if you've seen Fleabag or are watching it along side me! ❤ If there is something missing from this episode that you'd like me to comment on let me know and I'll try and answer it in the comments or in next week's video. Thank you for being here! 👇

[@johntheX]

Be ready. It's one the best thing ever produced on TV. EVER. Second seasin is ever better.

[@user-sr1kc6jj2b-p1q]

I am so glad to see you got back to this series! Fleabag reminds me of someone I was in a long term relationship with so your analysis is really helpful for me. In the last episode that you analysed I was intrigued by you mentioning the biological mix of adreneline and cortisol that Fleabag seems to be pursuing with her promiscuity and I would love to hear more about how that works.

[@Isleofskye]

Hi. I'm a 68-year-old, lifelong, single Guy in London. I am enjoying your reactions, thus far, and your analysis of a wonderful 12 Part Series. Phoebe and the whole cast are exceptional though we will have to disagree on one thing. :) I am assuming the Father is in his 60s and on that doorstep scene that you highlighted,I believe he felt awkward and because he is aware of the personalities of his current Lady and Fleabag, he asked her not to go upstairs @2amknowing she was there.. The comment about that list of negative character traits that Fleabag listed led him to archetypal English dry humour, usually, executed with a wry smile or performed deadpan. He was defusing the awkwardness as many Men do with a joke (you get that from your Mother)..That does not, necessarily, mean that the Late Mother had some or any of those traits but he just made a joke to avoid giving a serious response, especially in that situation. I am pretty sure that if he lived alone then he would have been much more welcoming.. No spoilers but as the series progresses, it's fair to see we see the reason why more and more. See you in the next episode and I have Subscribed.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge on Fleabag: "Yeah, i think she’s using a certain type of honesty as a weapon of distraction. She talks very openly and honestly about sex so you feel like she’s being open with you when, actually, she’s completely hiding by doing that. She’s distracting you from a completely different side of her, which is the side that’s traumatized and in pain. I think in being honest to a ‘t’ about one aspect of your life, you can give the illusion that you are confiding in somebody. She’s using it to be dishonest in a different way, by hiding."

[@mediacritique1065]

YESSS FLEABAG IS BACK. I swear you’ll love this one. Season 2 is a bit better in my opinion though 😍

[@rickyricardo2280]

“His neck 😩”

[@iamanarianafan]

​@@rickyricardo2280"omg his beautiful neck"

[@joooker13]

Such a great thing, that youtube visualizes your professional background. We definitely need more of this

[@the.truth.doctor]

Thank you 😊 I agree!

[@itsjustgillian]

I love how you break things down. I'd love to see you break down something like Bojack Horseman, though that is a devastating show

[@kaydollar2490]

Totally! Exactly what I was thinking when I was watching this reaction, specially when she was talking about the self sabotage and self awareness-yet-no-actual-accountability that Fleabag shows. Bojack hits every jackpot and it would be very interesting to analyze another incredibly broken character.

[@conorkyle2175]

Given its psychological complexity, I would propose her next show should 100% be Succession - I would love to see her breakdown especially of some scenes in this most recent season. Anyone agree?

[@mina_en_suiza]

I can't imagine a better commentator to this series. Love to rewatch it with you and your lovely community.

[@serahne]

Yay more Fleabag ! Also don't worry, we all laugh at this show, it's made for it :) It's very dark humor, but it's humor nonetheless !

[@alianderson8976]

This show throughout both seasons displays mental health issues so well, at the same time is entertaining. Can’t wait to see you react to this!!

[@Kyss111]

I've waited 5 months for this 😭

[@andreak.5996]

same

[@leelawest5904]

loveee that you analysing fleabag please watch the end of the fucking world its a really interesting story between a 17 yr old sociopathic boy who plans on killing this explosive girl alyssa and they run away together as he looks for oppurtiunities but he begins to feel. pleaseeee watch it i think youd love it its so well written and the characters are so lovable but so hard to love sometimes also!!! :)

[@shamblepants1450]

Fantastic reaction/analysis. 'Fleabag' is an incredibly unusual show, it took my breath away.

[@shannonstonnell7484]

Hi Dr. Courtney! Just wondering if you have any plans to react to Yellowjackets? Soooo much to do with trauma and mental health that I'd love to hear your take/opinions on. Love your videos 😊

[@pulpficti]

Fleabag is such a good show

[@OurWorldAhead]

I hope you'll keep making reacting videos to this show. I love hearing your thoughts on it, and I actually only started watching this show because I saw you'd reacted to it, and now I really enjoy it as well, so thanks for that :)

[@SaikolaM]

Love that you’re making this a series! Fleabag is the kind of show where you notice something new with every rewatch.

[@Joeylovedovey]

I’m screaming been wanting u to break this down

[@ReesesMonkeyXP]

I hope you continue with this show! I started down the rabbit hole of this show so now I'm ahead of you on these

[@carolinacantu835]

OMG Season 2 of Fleabag is soooooo good 💓💓 also, please do YellowJackets it’s WILD. It touches so many interesting topics about coping with trauma, grief, faith, friendship 🔥

[@mariaah3073]

YES! I've just found your channel and your first Fleabag video, I'm SO happy that you're further deeper into this show!! I think this is the first channel I've seen that caught the "it won't work *this time*" Harry throws at Fleabag in the first episode. Your perspective on these characters is so great, can't wait to see more of it! Oh, if you're open to suggestions, I'd love to see some of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend in here. It's a longer show, but mental health is such an important topic there that I think it would be nice to see a professional like you react to it.

[@j.f.l.bousquet1998]

I'm glad you are reacting to this show again. One of the best TV shows ever, and season 2 is even better. I'm very interested on your comments on the behaviour of all the characters, they are brilliantly written and there's a lot to discuss.

[@yuvalpick7568]

Hi I love your videos so much learning about psychology has never been more intersting!💗 Could you PLEASE play 'Life is strange'? It's a beautiful game that deals with the butterfly effect phychopathic beahviors etc. it kinda reminds me of Arcane which i love. and has SO much to digest as a thearpist!!!! I would ADORE seeing you play and reacte to it. xoxo

[@YCRhinoReactions]

Please react to Swarm. I would love to hear your take on the mental health of the main character.

[@beezyqueen]

YAY! so glad ur back with this

[@karinseregni221]

Oooh yes! Fleabag's analysis is baaack 🥲😍 I'm gonna sound like a broken record but man, this show is just something else! I really cannot wait to hear what you think of the Priest (s.2)!

[@cynthiapucheanu34]

I love your commentary, it's so good! ❤️

[@daniellet702]

SOOO happy you are doing these again!!! 🔥🔥 Amazing show and channel. I forgot about your "I'm happy you exist" end message and really needed that today. Thanks for the warmth.

[@boniswaisaacs]

Please watch Yellowjackets!!! How each character deals with trauma is fascinating!!!

[@Milhomens23]

HEEEEEEEEE 🎉🎉 I was waiting for this! The first ep was so insightful. Seen one of my fav shows through your professional and personal perception is so interesting. Thank u!

[@weslleyoliveira9168]

I was so happy with this video that I went back and rewatched ur reaction to episode 1 lol😅 keep up the good work I love ur analysis

[@medicenv2359]

I've never heard of this show, but every Thursday is for The Truth Doctor, so I'm watching it with you.

[@DeadMusic081]

I am soooo loving this. I saw that your first episode reaction was 5 months ago and i lost hope. I loooove this.

[@XtraTori]

Yes! 🥳🎉 more Fleabag 🙏

[@movieaddict001]

So glad you're reacting to Fleabag, it's a great show, love Phoebe Waller Bridge, and after this maybe you can react to Killing Eve, it deals with lots of emotions and relationships. Phoebe created the 1st season (the best one), tho s4 is not great, but S1-3 is really worth watching. Just mind boggling to me still how I was (so a lot of other ppl) so rooting for a cold blooded killer :), so would looove to see your intake on it.

[@Haunt1013]

Not sure where else to bring this up, but my wife and I would LOVE to hear you take on #Succession!

[@Darth_Blink]

I ❤ everything about this vid. You are in for an amazing ride with Fleabag 😊 Thanks for this 😁

[@april4524]

id love you to start ginny and georgia!!!! i would really love to hear your takes

[@jesspersephone]

So excited that this is back

[@jurinaissance]

always love learning new insights i have never thought of before when watching your videos 🙌😔

[@shakirasmylie6178]

Courtney is so awesome

[@sebastianortiz3764]

I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH

[@spunk0ransom0love]

As a sex-neutral Aro-Ace I can't really relate to Fleabag, but I still love hearing your thoughts on the character. Would love to see a quick reaction to Marvel's Moon Knight. It's pretty short and the main character has DID.

[@GioBorsel]

I can't wait for the next episode! I just discovered your show and I'm *loving* it!

[@hunwhatever]

Love this serie and your reactions/analysis !

[@whythough951]

yayyyyy! new fleabag!

[@andytaylor3443]

Have you ever broke down a film called ‘man on fire’ it’d be really interesting to hear your thoughts

[@the.truth.doctor]

I have not! I will look into this one, thank you! 😊

[@yagobarbosafarias6079]

Love It so MUCH!! ❤

[@bigj5880]

Wait a minute this isn't the last of us 😑🤔😂 jk jk all good things must come to an end but looking forward to more of your content, if I may make a suggestion of what you could dissect mental health wise is the sopranos! Maybe not every episode of every season but some clips here and there, it's universally agreed that it's one of the best tv series ever made, just a friendly recommendation 😊

[@the.truth.doctor]

I know! I will miss The Last of Us but I’ll be back for season 2 😉 That’s a great suggestion, thank you! ❤️

[@bigj5880]

@@the.truth.doctor 🙏🌹❤️ you're amazing!

[@willgenre]

I'm very interested in your opinion on this because I hear so many people make excuses for this character, which ok, but they rarely hold her accountable down the road.

[@gagerouane7422]

Please react to "Succession" it's an entire series about broken people. Roman in particular, stunted man child. Could be fun! And it's a funny show.

[@michaelmurphy5213]

You should analyze Carnival Row 😁

[@stefaniacalabrese2400]

do you believe flea's match an avoidant profile? would you go more in depth on the topic of avoidant parents?

[@raptor0000001]

You should react to "Ender's game" I realy like to know your thoughts on that one :)

[@brookylnvicent9054]

Does anyone know why she hasn't uploaded videos anymore?

[@the.truth.doctor]

Hi! I explain more in my recent video but I was opening up my newest treatment center while also doing IVF. Quite a heavy combo. Thank you so much for asking. ❤️🫶

[@alyssahagel776]

You should react to and analyze the new show Daisy Jones and the Six.

[@anon8079]

You should react to Shrinking.

[@noahverstraeten7136]

you should react to WandaVision it's a marvel series about a witch dealing with her grief

[@noahverstraeten7136]

every episode represents a different stage of grief

[@thefabfabs]

the second season when u understand uuuuuuughhh mm

[@bLuGhOsT_]

It'd be cool if you watched Ted Lasso if you haven't already seen it!! Think it would be very suitable for this channel!!

[@heatherhaven1268]

I’m concerned that my friends all think I’m like Fleabag now…😮

[@yamatoofredania9829]

I'd recommend watching "Chainsaw Man" the anime! It has a lot of dark psychological aspects to it that I think you'd like reacting to!

[@sebastianortiz3764]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I LOVE YOUUUUUUUU

[@LittleMan27]

I was hoping you’d react to Avatar and especially Avatar: The Way of Water

[@darrenwall8720]

Hi Truth doctor I love watching your reactions..If you are open for reaction suggestions.. There is a show called KILLING EVE it is an amazing show about a psychopathic assassin.

[@brunocosta3935]

Please, react to Yellowjackets!!!

[@sebastianortiz3764]

GREEATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[@EShelby2127]

Dancing.

[@moonlily1]

I think she meant that it was disappointing that he wasn't watching gang bangs because she has nothing to hold over him.

[@josephkim1454]

React to Beef

[@englishmidnight]

Disponulant reaction Doctor, you really need to start reacting to Sherlock, that series, is three episodes a season, but wow, Sherlock Holmes is a sociopath, Doctor Watson is a medical Doctor, trust me get on it.

[@Nothing_Israel]

Uhhh… you alive? Thursday come and passed

[@reactionfan6098]

OMG PLS WATCH NARUTO

[@Ghoulstille]

Fleabag reminds me too much of the women I went on a dates with and who pretty much killed my interest in dating.

[@lilmilontiktok]

Please watch succession. Season 4 episode 3 especially

[@jurinaissance]

funny how i just realized most of the audience of this show love fleabag because they can relate to her in some ways... but then one thing they- myself included🥲- have in common with her is they both are looking for someone to relate to lol.
