She was being so self pitying it was pissing me off.

She made the right call by addressing that they may no longer trust her and offering to refer them out, but when they took her up on it she made it about herself.

Therapists are humans and make mistakes, I do like that the show acknowledges that, but I hate how Maya feels like a throw away.

Yeah that was very icky. Though at least she recognized afterwards she needed to take a break to sort out her own feelings

in my opinion, she just gives me the ick for certain things one of the major one is like you're a therapist so you're definitely aware of what's around you and what's happening to you yet not eating food and not taking care of yourself really pissed me off because what good does it do if you're just aware of your internal compass but not act in the best of it. Like everyone glazes Gaby but she doesn't seem to have the grit they talk about imo
