"Fix You" Recap: Feelings Are An Important Part in Understanding Others

Shi Joo got worried that Woo Joo had mistakenly thought of something after he gave the bracelet. Woo Joo felt happy and inspired as she told everyone about it.

Shi Joo thinks that Woo Joo has a "transference" feeling towards him, although Young Won assures him that maybe he overthinks about his past and connects it with Woo Joo.

Transference - a person in therapy apply certain feelings or emotions toward the therapist

The psychiatric department has a new VIP patient, an assemblyman for the minister of laborers. Mr. Ko is experiencing a tic disorder and he needs to be treated before the upcoming hearing. His tic symptoms cause him to keep twisting his face to the right without control.

Tic disorder - a habitual spasmodic contraction of the muscles 

The psychiatric department conducts thorough research on Mr. Ko's life. He is a busy person in helping the laborers receiving small wages. He gets stressed out in the weight of his responsibility towards the people. Shi Joo provides an HRT to Mr. Ko to help lessen the involuntary movements of his neck. 

HRT - habit reversal training is one of the popular ways of treating a tic disorder. It will make a competitive reaction and help the person stop tic.

Every time the tic arises, Mr. Ko will shout "my fellow citizens" and hold his head slowly to move it facing front after it twists to the right. This will make Mr. Ko more aware if of the tic and may control it in the future. 

Woo Joo went to visit her foster mother when she was six years old and abandoned her after six years. She remembered it was her birthday, but she found out that she left the place without telling Woo Joo. She called her but they declined to see Woo Joo anymore. She managed to look for a way to find her new place. Her foster mother cursed Woo Joo and told her to stay away from them. Woo Joo cried in pain and went to the beach to think of her birth mother. 

Shi Joo looked for Woo Joo after he learned about what happened to Woo Joo's foster parents. He found her at the beach and comforted her with encouraging words. They went back to the city after Woo Joo was calm and restored her understanding of life.

Dr. In found out that Mr. Ko felt guilty of the subway drivers after passing a bill that only allowed drivers to work alone in the trains even at night time. One train driver died because of the incident. That made Mr. Ko feel guilty, and his tic attack came out.

Mr. Ko is trying to revise the bill. It needs to pass again for voting and approval. The driver who died due to his panic attacks and met the accident while at work is Mr. Ko's good friend. Shi Joo and Dr. In thought hard how he would overcome his guilt through his therapy and work.

Woo Joo found out from her friend Je Seon that Young Won referred her to Shi Joo for therapy without her knowing. She did not show up for her scheduled appointment with Shi Joo, but instead, she went to see Young Won at her clinic.
