Oh, I think if you told Amber that a lot of proper famous actresses are in therapy, she'd sign up with Cool Bald Guy like a shot. And Ruby may be introverted, but she's also a nerdy rationalist; if she accepted that she had an emotional problem, she'd treat psychotherapy like going to the dentist - an unfortunate, painful necessity.themacnut wrote:Quite frankly though, by this point I think Amber's broken that rule so many times with Ruby that nothing less than several sessions with a therapist or something like that can work out the problems between them. Which of course is not Amber's style, and Ruby won't be comfortable talking about her problems and feelings in front of a stranger either. Heck, she doesn't even want to talk about them with her sister.
I'm not saying that we're terribly likely to see either of them going, though. Therapy in this setting, is usually for big, comedy problems with big, clear symptoms (psychotic fugue states, hallucinations, radical anorgasmia). Mundane routine unhappiness and bollixed-up family interactions are too much like hard work to show being fixed that way.
And anyway, I've said before that Ruby would only really need one session. ("Yes, you have a libido. It's up to you what you do with it. And yes, your sister is an inconsiderate idiot. That's up to her to fix. Next patient.") Amber, on the other hand, would need to be coached through things like telling her parents about her porn career, which are more likely to get dealt with the comedy way.
Putting them in therapy together might be constructive, but that'd just be another of those big talky scenes that this comic doesn't do.
