What's really going on
The scene is a therapy session as negotiation. Pat opens by taking responsibility — 'Hurting my mother was a mistake' — and admits he hates his illness and wants to control it, which is as close as he comes to accepting help. Dr. Jones responds with a plan, not sympathy: recognise the feelings, find a quiet place, calm down, or go back to Baltimore. Pat's reply, that it is 'easier said than done,' is the honest core of the film's view of recovery. What makes the session clever is how Dr. Jones reframes the Tiffany problem: instead of forbidding her, he argues that befriending her will make Pat look kind and thriving, which is exactly what he wants Nikki to see. Help becomes strategy, and it is all the more useful for it.
