Consultant Hauser, portrayed by
Laney Grey, greets
Natalia Nix as she enters the office. Natalia appears taken aback by how young Dr. Hauser looks, her eyes widening in surprise.
Upon realization, Natalia quickly apologizes for staring. Dr. Hauser embraces the moment with a chuckle, mentioning that she's accustomed to such reactions due to her remarkably youthful appearance, especially for a therapist.
As the conversation between them unfolds, Natalia mentions her age - 19 - and the fact that Dr. Hauser seems even younger. Surprisingly, Dr.
Hauser reveals that she is also just 19 years old. Amidst discussion on how someone so young could pursue therapy as a profession, Dr. Hauser reveals herself as somewhat of a prodigy in the field.
Natalia isn't quite sure how to feel, rattled by Dr. Hauser's age but still willing to engage in the session. Natalia is seeking guidance on her fear of commitment based on past experiences with relationships.
Throughout the session, signals of Dr. Hauser's age show subtly. Eventually, in a moment of frustration, Natalia questions Dr.
Hauser's ability to adequately counsel her owing to her young age. However, when Dr. Hauser provides a perceptive insight, Natalia's skepticism begins to fade.
As Natalia starts to trust Dr. Hauser, the therapist sifts through the layers and suggests that Natalia's commitment issues may stem from not being attracted to men. At first, Natalia denies such a diagnosis from Dr.
Hauser, but as the discussion progresses, she acknowledges the truth behind it. Dr. Hauser assures Natalia that she can support her in embracing her true self by positioning her hand provocatively on Natalia's leg.
Dr. Hauser definitely has a tactile approach when it comes to therapy!.
