É comum a #tensão ou #ansiedade aparecerem na #primeira #sessão de #terapia com o #psicólogo ou a #psicóloga. É #normal ficar sem jeito, e é normal #falardemais ou de menos, é normal #chorar, #suar um pouco mais pela mão, ser do jeitinho que vc é. É normal fazer piada e o(a) psicólogo(a) não rir e anotar... 😂 é normal vc e o psi se conhecerem. Tudo é normal? Quase tudo. Não é normal sair de lá se sentindo pior do que quando entrou, não na primeira sessão ou não pelo menos, na maioria delas. Não é normal #profissional grosseiro (a). Não é normal psicólogo #preconceituoso. Não é normal o psicólogo não olhar na sua cara e não é normal psi #receitar alguma coisa. É bom que fique claro que não quer dizer que você vai sair #apaixonado(a) pelo psi na primeira sessão mas não quer dizer que você vá antipatizar com ele/ela. Se acontecer o #vínculo, um tanto melhor, mas #terapia não é miojo, rápida e instantânea, e nem filme romântico (ou de terror) onde há amor a primeira vista ou psico com cara amarrada a sessão toda... 😂 Pode até ser um psi sério, introspectivo que fale bem pouquinho... ou pode ser um psi mais acolhedor: são "estilos" diferentes. Você ñ precisa sentir medo do seu psicólogo, você não precisa achar que o psicólogo vai concordar com você em tudo que você falar, lembre-se o psicólogo ou a psicóloga que te recebe na primeira sessão é um profissional que vai te conhecer e você vai conhecer ele/ela/elu... Espero que na sua primeira sessão você encontre um psico para chamar de "meu psico", mas permita-se saber que a sessão de terapia é sobre você, seus problemas (ou demandas que não são necessariamente um problema), mas é sobre vc. Psicólogo não é médico. Psicólogo não é pai. Psicóloga não é mãe. Psicólogos não é amigo, mas podem ter vínculos de amizade (ou não) e desempenhar papéis. Psicólogos e psicólogas são profissionais que trabalham com você, para você e em você. Tá inseguro ou insegura? Preencha o formulário do https://psico.online e coloque nele tudo o que você sente, deseja ou quer. Aqui tentamos facilitar que você encontre o seu ou a sua psicóloga. Dando match. Criando vínculo. E, transformando sua saúde mental sessão a sessão. (em Sessão De Terapia - GNT) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoSJ30jrymk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Suar Appreciation Post

This is Suar Kritsanaphong.

He has been in the color-coded feast You'll Never Eat Alone,

the sports-themed You're My Sky,

and the soulmates-not-soulmates La Pluie.

That's it!

And yet I want him in so much more.

This man can create chemistry out of thin air.

He can cry like his favorite plant withered up without notice.

He can smile and brighten any moment in any situation.

Basically, I'll trust him in whatever he acts in next without question because he has proven that even if everything else is meh, he is awe!

He is a tiny pumpkin and needs to be appreciated.

[daouoffroads]

It's so beautiful!

It really is.

La Pluie Deserves a Standing Ovation

I hope y’all didn’t think I’d forgotten about this show after the finale. I was just traveling and have been too busy to write this final review.

La Pluie has been one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had as a viewer of TV ever. This show told us exactly what it was from the very opening scenes, and then spent the entire show paying that off. This show opened with an explanation about soulmates, and then immediately countered that with Tai’s parents’ divorce, the note that the pairing of people is ultra-rare, and a happy couple that wasn’t a soulmate pair in a café. Throughout the show it repeatedly stressed that love is about how we treat each other and not something you win via a lottery. It’s so rare these days that we get a show that trusts their audience this much to follow the thread and think about the big ideas along the way.

Doubt and Faith in Acts

One of my favorite things I observed in the show is that only Patts and Tien consistently make the kinds of choices that lead to long-term love without getting their asses handed to them. @shortpplfedup observed during her catch up that this story featured four different kinds of believers: an apostate, an agnostic, a believer, and an atheist. It’s notable that the apostate (Tai) and the atheist (Lomfon) are the ones causing the most harm to other people in the way they treat others.

Throughout the show, both Tai and Lomfon keep making standoffish choices. Tai has cut off his mom and avoids his coworkers. Lomfon is rude and standoffish. Neither of them is able to hold on to their loves because they are incapable of letting go of their own bullshit.

Conversely, Tien goes out of his way to take care of his brother, his family, and eventually Lomfon. I actually liked that Tai and Lomfon had to make opposite choices in the finale. Lomfon needed to show in his actions that he was serious about Tien, whereas Tai needed to show in his words that he was actually listening to what Patts had been asking for.

For Patts, he doesn’t believe that he and Saengtai are meant to be together because they’re connected by the rain. He does the work of caring for Tai because he is kind. He loves Tai because he’s Tai and not because he’s his soulmate. Patts stays present for Tai. He respects his boundaries. He tries to help Tai deal with his problems. He trusts him.

The Ambiguity

As a lapsed Catholic, I gotta say that I really love the way this show ended without fixing all of the soulmate stuff and giving concrete answers. I like that the show holds firm to its conviction that love is not ordained by the narrative; it is something built by people doing the work to be together. I love how this show challenged the notion of the narrative itself mandating the characters be together and instead reminded them (and us) to be present for our loved ones and to listen to their needs.

I think this show would have been weaker if Tai and Patts had restored their rain connection at the end. Besides, I think it gives them room to play with that idea if they get a second season. I also liked that Tien started hearing someone at the end of the season. He is a believer in soulmates, and I think it’ll be interesting to see someone as earnest as him face that challenge.

Releasing the Tension

Before I get to wrapping up, I want to reiterate again that this show has two plot-relevant blowjobs in it. So often these shows tease us and then don’t release the tension. Worse, when they do release the tension it doesn’t always feel like it’s something the characters lean into with their new dynamic.

After episode 5 ended, @ginnymoonbeam teased me for having a moment of panic that maybe I was misreading the show and that somehow Patts wasn’t into Saengtai because of how often I’ve been tricked or teased. Instead, these two end up making out on the floor and Patts was going to blow that man. Then, we don’t cut away from them. We watch them talk about what happened and why Tai is holding back.

Going further, they let Patts and Tai find peace and closure with Nara. Moreover, they treat Nara’s heartbreak seriously. She isn’t ejected from the group, and is allowed to be disappointed and sad about the loss. At the end of the show, they also confirm our suspicions about her and Dream.

It’s just incredible to have watched a show that didn’t rely on teasing us and instead treated the sex and intimacy seriously.

Thank You To Everyone Who Watched La Pluie

I cannot overstate how much joy I got from watching this show along with all of you. When @lurkingshan and I began writing earnestly around episode 4 in the hopes that more people would join us on this show, I did not expect so many of you to actually give it a try.

I think, if you have held off on watching this show because you’ve been waiting for confirmation about one plot point or another, just watch it if you’re still on the fence. When you do watch it, try to let go of what you think is supposed to happen or what you want to happen, and instead respond to what the show is giving you. This has been the most legible show at this caliber I’ve experienced since I Told Sunset About You (2020).

At no point did this show try to trick us about anything, and it trusts us to keep up and engage. This show is better when you lean in. It’s better when you discuss it with others. For a show so much about questioning belief, it is amazing how much this show rewards you for believing in it. I don’t know a better show this year.

I have a lot of folks I want to acknowledge here at the end, including but not limited to:

I want to thank @wanderlust-in-my-soul, @pharawee, and @liyazaki for letting me use their gifs in my posts.

I want to thank @lurkingshan and @ginnymoonbeam for being first through the door with me and committing to getting more folks to watch this show.

I want to thank @respectthepetty and @absolutebl for regularly sticking it out for shows and giving them an earnest watch through their lenses.

I want thank everyone else who contributed incredibly thoughtful writing to this experience, including @shortpplfedup, @syrena-del-mar, @neuroticbookworm, @wen-kexing-apologist, @chickenstrangers, @recentadultburnout, @williamrikers, @heretherebedork, @shouldiusemyname, @sunshinechay, @fadelikeclouds, @slayerkitty, @chinzhilla, @indigostarfire, @iguessitsjustme and @rocketturtle4

See you all in the next show!
