The Shrink Is In (2001)

In the whirlwind world of travel journalism, Samantha, a chronically phobic writer, finds herself abandoned by her boyfriend just as they're about to embark on another journey. This emotional upheaval triggers a catastrophic mental breakdown, leading her to yank the emergency exit cord on their airborne plane. The aftermath of her public meltdown lands her in compulsory therapy, deepening her spiral into a chasm of neuroses. In her new solitude, Samantha develops an unhealthy fascination towards her neighbor, Michael, who is wrestling with his own relationship woes. As fate would have it, her therapist succumbs to a mental breakdown, leaving Samantha in an unexpected position. The hospital staff, thinking she's the secretary, entrusts her with the task of informing the therapist's patients about her unavailability. Seeing an opportunity in the chaos, Samantha decides to impersonate her therapist to sway Michael away from his girlfriend and towards herself. This elaborate ruse becomes more complicated when a cheerful magazine salesman, Henry, enters the picture looking for therapy. Samantha finds herself thrust into the role of an unqualified mental health professional, juggling her own phobias, a budding romance, and the confidences of her 'patients'. As Samantha navigates this labyrinth of deception and unexpected love, she must confront a poignant question: Is she being guided by her heart or her troubled mind? This vibrant tapestry of love, psychology, and mistaken identities is a journey of self-discovery, where the line between therapist and patient blurs in the most unexpected ways.
