"Big Little Lies" and domestic violence counseling

[Fast Walker 52]

12. honestly, I'm not exactly sure. I'm just copying her words.

In the show, the female character does hit back a little bit and so makes excuses for his behavior.

I guess in part the counselor didn't handle that issue properly.

"Or do you mean that we shouldn't characterize the woman's story as "all in her head" or similarly dismissive bullshit? The way women's health concerns are often dismissed? "

Certainly we shouldn't do that, but this wasn't really the situation in the show.

Btw, this friend is a nationally recognized advocate for survivors of domestic violence, so I think we may be hearing more about this in the future.
