The doctor adroitly helped JJ realize a couple of things about himself and his family. She expertly pushed his buttons and used just the right amount of sass and wit to make him appreciate it. I think she will be worth twice as much as the pill pusher.
The chapter is a building chapter and as revised, is very well done and an easy read. What's not easy is the emotions and problems the characters are dealing with and will have to continue to do so. Well done!
