<Snipped quote by Techspert>

According to mental health, just because someone or something can comfort him doesn't mean it will be good for him in every situation. Kids have to discard their security blankets and some point, and alcoholics either die or put down the bottle. I'm not saying that if he asks for us to let him see you that I'll stop him, but at the same time you can't always be there every step of the way.

No, but this isn't the time or place to do that. Shinji is an adult and I'm his therapist. I have a duty to help him, and he clearly needs it right now.
