    This is probably the first time THE Rick Sanchez was given a reality check. And what makes this scene even better was that it wasn’t given by some powerful god or anything of that sort, but by a normal individual; an “agent of averageness” if you will.

      This is why Pickle Rick will remain the high-water mark of the series. Many complex storylines will be developed. Myriad characters will be introduced and explored. But in a brief therapy visit, Rick Sanchez will get a gut-check so big that all he can do is walk away from it.

      So the Therapists speech addresses a few things.
      1. First she points out that Ricks inability to connect with his family is well within his control. Him and his family pass it off as some curse that forces him to be like this when in reality he can change that at any moment. However to do so would make Rick vulnerable which he doesn't want to be and so he can't openly accept he causes the problems in his family.
      2. She then acknowledges that he is smart, stupidly smart. That because he's so smart he finds mundane things like therapy unbearably boring because it doesn't have thrills he normally experiences on a day to day basis.
      3. She then let's him know that the type of maintenance he needs to perform through therapy will never be exciting for him. That therapy is work and effort but not the type of excitement he wants to have.

      Except that intelligence is statistically correlated with depression and it makes sense. The capacity for understanding gives a person more options in terms of worldview. It’s just statistics.

      A pretty clear example of this is how people view optimism and cynicism. People automatically think optimistic is childish, it's naive and stupid positivity but cynicism is real, it's what's life is actually life and people who believe in it are smarter because they aren't bold back and binded by childish thoughts of goodness and altruism, they're a special breed of wise and Woke to the world. Of course the thing is that instead they're just blinded by nihilism and mistrust and when it comes to depression, human beings as a whole are irredeemable and selfish beings because that's what people subconsciously believe about themselves, that deep down they're irredeemable and selfish and unworthy for whatever reason.

    The fact that Rick continues to see Dr. Wong after this speaks volumes. She sees right through his nihilistic facade and offers her insight in trying to understand him. No one else has attempted that; she not only achieved to placate Rick’s place in his wild antics, but she also showed warmth towards him in a constructive way that helps him overcome his own self-hatred. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have saved her during Tammy’s ambush.

    I feel like the therapist is saying that Rick could have just said No to coming to family therapy, yet he chose to lie and turn himself into a pickle. Forcing himself into a dangerous situation for his "need for adventure." Yes therapy would be boring to him but like the therapist said "It's just work... some people are fine with going to work everyday and some people would rather die." Rick didn't say no to coming to therapy because he doesn't want to die, he lied because he was afraid to admit to his family that he isn't thrilled in sustaining or maintaining a relationship with them.

      I have difficulty grasping it in my own words, but I think it canbe best explained that Rick, despite all his power, is unhappy. This unhappiness isn't caused by being intelligent, but rather because of bad habits, toxic toxic thinking processes, etc. A happy person can be both intelligent and happy, but Rick views happy people as lower than him. This superiority complex doesn't help with feeling loved either; after all, you think you're above everyone & no one relates to you. There's probably more to this, but that's the best explanation I can give.

    One thing that interested me was that Rick could most certainly be petty and say something back just to belittle this "agent of averageness", yet he takes it. I'm sure he could use all his intelligence to form a counterargument, yet he just sits there and takes it, more than likely because he knows it's true and doesn't have to heart to refute what he has always known when it has been so explicitly shown to him.

      From season one, Rick is aware of a lot of his faults. In what he thought was his dying moment he even tells Morty "don't be like me".
      But a version of Rick also killed his wife - he knows that part of him did that - so he is self abusive. And self abusive people also lash out at the world.

    I love the small touch that Rick doesn't try to argue with her because a major part of his character is accepting the ugly truths other people ignore because it is scary or hurtful. He can't deny she's right honestly and rather than fruitlessly argue with her just because he's in pain from what she said he just has to sit there and take it until he gets out of the situation and can mock her later for things other than what she said.

    She points out that you don't wipe your butt or brush your teeth because you enjoy it, you do it as personal maintenance and this Therapy is no different for someone like Rick.
    (At the time I watched it, I was actually impressed with that speech. Everyone always acted like the second you came out of a session, you should be dancing on clouds afterwards and the work you did at the session should be permanent. It's not. It's hard, gradual work and it's as dull as personal maintenance. Wish I knew this before I went in with lofty expectations.)

Any normal person or any bad therapist would just consider their story to be made up or a metaphor and not take them seriously. But what I like best about her is that she's so good at her job that she was completely open minded to the possibilities that what they were saying could be either 100% true or 100% false. Or 50/50. And it turned out to be true, and she had prepared herself for that, so she didn't freak out and got straight to business again.
