Grey's Anatomy

Meredith has a lot of problems and little clue of why she behaves the way she does with Derek (i!.e!. not being able to commit)!. She goes through life not knowing the real causes of her behavior - the shadows in the cave!.

She is forced to see a psychiatrist and slowly she begins to learn the reasons behind her problematic behavior - she sees the light/sun! At first she hates the psychiatrist and tries hard not to have to see her - adjusting her eyes to the light - but eventually she gets used to the light - the truth - and decides to stay with the psychiatrist - to 'be' with the Truth!.

When she relays some of the things the psychiatrist told her to her friends they think it is rubbish - like the prisoners who are still stuck in the cave!.

Okay maybe it's a bit of a stretch but it's the only thing I could think of really!. I hope it helps! And that you watch Grey's Anatomy hehe!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
