Mmm.SIEBERT:
For a littleover nine months.
She didn't just have the
she had the rug,
the home, the husband.
Her entire life, gone.
Even her health insurance. She
moved into the city to find work
and I never heard from her again.
I'm glad she's seeing a man this time.
I think that will help.
Why is that?
Never felt seen by her father.
Then her husband ends up in
jail and she's abandoned again.
I'd be happy to see her have a
different kind of experience.
She says you tried her on medication.
Oh, yes. Wellbutrin.
Prozac. Effexor.
Really struggled.
Mmm.
I remember she had problems with
sleep and nausea. Chills...
I'm putting her on Zoloft, see
if she can tolerate that.
Oh. Well, maybe she's a candidate

because he feels shitty
about everything.
Hey.
Look, if you don't feel up
to this, I can go by myself.
I understand if you don't
want to see those people.
All right?
But I got to get back out
there at some point.
EMILY:
If I just sit here bymyself, I'm just gonna feel worse.

She's doing well.
But going away is hard, and so

Honey, what's wrong?
I can't do this.
You know, I went through a
very bad time last year.
I found a lump.
I just fell apart.
I was so depressed,
and, uh, my doctor prescribed
something called Effexor.
It really helped.

Dr. Banks, I really
need to talk to you.

got your message.
I'm with my wife.
I went to your office, but you
weren't there. So I came here.
Could we just go talk?
If it's an emergency, I can admit you.
No. I just, um...
I was getting on the subway and...
And I was like when I was in the car.
I have to go to work.
I just need five minutes.
You're going to go to work after?
Okay, five minutes.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
Call me after the interview.
BANKS'. Emily,
I know this is hard.
But the hopelessness you're
feeling is a symptom.
We have to leave that in the past.

to construct a future. "
But you have a future.
