How's Your Head?

Dr. Hauser (Laney Grey) welcomes Natalia Nix to her office. Natalia's eyes are widening with shock at Dr. Hauser’s young appearance. Immediately, Natalia shakes her head and apologizes for staring. Natalia laughs off Dr. Hauser's comments, telling her that it is nothing new for Natalia, who is well aware of the fact that she appears to be very young for a therapist. Natalia says that she was a little surprised. She's 19 and Dr. Hauser looks even YOUNGER than her. Dr. Hauser says that she's ALSO 19. They chat briefly about how a person as young as 19 could possibly become a therapist. Dr. Hauser says that she was somewhat of a prodigy. Natalia is a bit confused by the age of Dr. Hauser when Dr. Hauser proposes that they begin their session. Natalia needs to talk about her commitment problems. As she talks about only having been in one committed relationship before, hints of Dr. Hauser's age begin to show. Finally, Natalia grows exasperated and confronts Dr. Hauser about being too young to be an effective therapist. Natalia finally begins to understand Dr. Hauser's words when she makes an insightful observation. Natalia starts to believe Dr. Hauser as she begins to gain her trust. The doctor then speculates Natalia's difficulty in committing is because of the fact that she doesn't like men. Natalia denies the diagnosis of Dr. Hauser at first, but finally admits she is right. Natalia is told by Dr. Hauser that there are ways she can help Natalia accept who she truly IS. She does this by placing a suggestive hand on Natalia’s leg. Dr. Hauser is certainly a hands-on therapist!
