at 2:00 billy is explaining how he has no hard feelings towards his mother yet pam is trying conjure up hard feeling in him, it just shows that shrinks know sweet fa

[paddythetinker]

what i cant understand is that she supposed to help him overcome his anger etc, but he seems to have done that and she seems to want him to be angry about the situation

[amagad1989]

that woman seems to annoy billy, not in an obvious way, but you can tell.

It is annoying though, when a shrink tries to tell you how you're feeling, and 'diagnoses' you.

[paddythetinker]

yes it is annoying

[ahmadeyad]

Pamela is trying to put words in Billy Connolly's mouth .

[paddythetinker]

typical shrink, they think they have magic abilities to understand ones mind because they studied other peoples findings and took it for granted that it was gospel

[psfanatic]

Funny part is "that woman" is his wife, heh

[JoshTurner11]

I don't think i've ever disagreed with anything Billy's said. If i caught him bed with my girlfriend i'd still shake his hand.

I love the man.

[MrKorto23]

does this fear that he has about being on stage means that he does not write his comedy and that all of it is an improvisation?

[SiliconBong]

True enough, psfanatic, i'm sick of people trying to villify 'this women' without realising that maybe she knows what she's taling about.

@amagad1989 I think if anyone is qualified, it's her. Apart from himself, she knows him best of all. How long have they been married now?

[keenwilk]

If you don't think of Pamela as a shrink but just as an interviewer then she is doing a great job. What may seem a stupid question to some brings out in Billy an interesting response. Good for her.

I love how people are so annoyed with Pamela just because she is a shrink. I don't think it is that she doesn't understand him, but that she can't articulate what she DOES understand. When she says that he intellectualized the problem, and understands what happened as an adult, I think she is saying that he is wise enough, and old enough, to be in his mother's shoes.

He DID have a bad childhood, and it had to have come from somewhere. She assumed being abandoned contributed to SOMETHING.

[TheGzeus]

@paddythetinker heheh.

She's also his spouse. Double-whammy!

[jimdoire]

@paddythetinker I totally agree with you, she's not a lot of help. Maybe (and I'm saying "maybe") she's not being the shrink but being a wife who happens to be a shrink. I don't know. But 100%, as a shrink, she's not giving him too much relief or is the conversation heading in a positive way. There would be no way she could take a neutral stance considering she's married to him.

@JoshTurner11

hell he might even give you a turn when he needs a break.

[V0nAnglesmith]

@amagad1989

@paddythetinker

I think Pamela is not hearing what she expects to-that is, what she has learned are the effects of particular behaviour by adults towards a child, so she is prompting him, trying to get him to say what she wants to hear. She is also not listening to him. One of the best things anyone can do for a troubled person is listen. He is far smarter than she is and understands himself far better than she does.
