I'm currently reading "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men," so I'm really responding to the format of this fic. Well done! Keep 'em coming!

Loving the style of this story. Its very powerful only hearing Jim's side of the conversation. Like you are trapped inside his head or something.

I'm really, really liking this. It's so bare, but your characterization of Jim, his particular way of speaking, is so down that it's very easy to visualize him saying the lines. This is bleak and beautiful. Like the line from the infamous Garden State Frou Frou song - there's beauty in the breakdown.

this is just making my heart ache for jim. i think it's a really interesting (and horribly sad) take on what jim could be like outside of work and away from the cameras.
you convey so much emotion through jim's dailogue that it's really painful to read, which just means that you're an amazing writer :)

I love the premise. Now you've got me wanting to go read BIwHM. Can't wait for more chapters.

Wow, this is really well done. I feel so sad for Jim. I like the shout-out to BIWHM!

Love this story - especially this line - “Oh, so she told about that incident, too? Wow. Maybe she should come in here and do the session for me.” I can just imagine him saying this. Great concept.

I don't think I could have imagined Jim needing therapy, but it does make a weird kind of sense. I love the way you've written it "the answers without questions"...it makes it interesting and all about him. I definitely think you should continue this. I have a feeling the Booze Cruise session is going to be something else.

Oh, poor Jim. You capture the melancholy darkness so well, and it really sounds like his voice.

I'm not sure what to say except that it was extremely poignant and really resonated with me.
Author's Response: Thanks so much. :)

The drinking 'incident' made me cry. Really. Is there any possibility of a happy ending? Maybe? God, reading this just rips me apart. In a good way - sort of. You write too well, and it just feels real. It hurts, but continue.
Author's Response: Thanks for reading. Oh, I'm sure there will be a happy ending. Or at least a hopeful ending.

What an interesting set-up! Yes, I hope you continue it through the season!
Author's Response: Thanks! Hopefully I'll be able to stick with this until the end of the season.

Unfold, this is so good. I love how you give us just enough to deduce the therapist's questions. Terrific. And Jim's incidents are heartbreaking.
Author's Response: Thanks for reading, nomadshan! I'm glad you liked it.

Firstly - you are amazing.
OK. So. I've totally been there. Thinking you're not fooling anybody but your issues are plain for the world to see. Jim could use some insight and the tone felt completely realistic.
So feel not anxious and quit worrying. :)
Author's Response: Thanks so much for reading. My anxiety has been put to rest for the time being.
