Quotes 

• Paula Gyson : Actually, I was struck by the fact that this dream is what you wanted to discuss today. You want me to know that my opinion matters, but now who's asking questions that he knows the answers to?... Instead of discussing what happened at the end of last session? A week ago, you were furious. You walked out. And today, I'm... I'm not sure what's on your mind or... or even why you came back.

  Robert Goren : It's on my mind. No matter... what was going on from your side, you know. I'm sorry for losing my temper. I wanted to apologize for that.

  Paula Gyson : Thank you. It's fine to apologize, but I think we should talk about, try to reconstruct what happened between us.

  Robert Goren : I told you, I think I overreacted.

  Paula Gyson : Yes, and I am suggesting because something powerful came up, something important. Why do you think you turned so quickly?

  Robert Goren : Yeah, we got our wires crossed.

  Paula Gyson : Has that happened to you before?

  Robert Goren : What? Come on. You're telling me that that's never happened to you?

  Paula Gyson : You became enraged because you thought I suggested you might be hitting on me.

  Robert Goren : [impatient]  Look, I don't know what your angle is with me. I don't know if you're trying to get me to fail... To fall for you. I don't know if you're trying to get me to... behave crazy, so you can call the N.Y.P.D...

  Paula Gyson : So you don't know what the rules of engagement are here. So let's talk about that...

  Robert Goren : [angry]  You want to know what I feel? I feel anger.

  Paula Gyson : And last week, you were flooded with it. Fight or flight. What's underneath the anger?

  Robert Goren : More anger.

  Paula Gyson : And underneath that, fear... fear that I'm gonna betray you, fear that I'm gonna humiliate you, that I must be up to something more than to get you to know your own mind. And that's why you run. Deep down, if we do this work, you're justifiably terrified of what we might discover.
