@sugoi-chan is correct. The group therapy sessions are divided up and you could end up with anyone in them. No one is told the other clients/patients issues other than they're all there for a specific purpose. (For Nick's I assume it was a social group since they did go on outings. Those tend to have clients/patients from all different groups mixed together)Cool your jets, DudeofTeenage. Context is important.
We're not talking about all the average joe q neurotic-level therapy sessions attended by average joe q neurotics here....were talking about whatever ninth-circle-of-hell group therapy would be peopled by people as fucked up as Sick Nick.
I seriously doubt that "slightly glum guy with a sad but treatable issue" would be in the same group as "deranged, shit-smeared orangutan who wants to rape his sister"; I doubt either would benefit from being in the same group. For the same reason "girl with bulemia" and "Hannibal Lector" would be in different groups.
I'm not saying that anyone dealing with grief, addiction and stress are bad people. Far from it. But I am saying there are different groups, and Sick Nick is not in THOSE therapy sessions.....he's in the hardcore intense one down the hall for scatmunchers and pedorapists, where the door is locked and everyone is wearing tracker bracelets on their ankles.
I'm saying that if YOU -- through some bizarre fluke of fate -- were at a group therapy session for people as messed up as Sick Nick, I really would think twice about dating that Amanda Plummer-esque girl who keeps twitching and eating her hair.
Are we on the same wavelength now?
