Dr. Paradise handles Margaret Johnson like a BOSS

In fan chatter on Reddit, those who watched the episode on Discovery+ agree Dr. Paradise handled Margaret and her mother Millie like a boss. He instantly zoned in on the fact that Millie referred to her 35-year-old daughter as a baby. Millie pushed back arguing that Margaret would always be her baby. She doubled down noting she was her youngest child and all her children were her babies. Dr. Paradise was quick to point out that her daughter was 35 and the word “baby” suggested a lot of care was needed.

After talking for a while, Margaret becomes pretty hysterical. Millie’s instinct is to comfort her daughter. Dr. Paradise encourages her not to. Margaret explains why crying that they already took food from her as one of her comforts. Now, she believed they were trying to take her mother too. Dr. Paradise reassured her that he was not taking her mother away. He, however, thought it was important for her to be more independent.

Margaret Johnson becomes so upset that she rises from the bed and exits the room to deal with her emotions. Dr. Paradise notes how interesting it is that Margaret got up and removed herself from the situation. He tells Millie it is important for her to let Margaret learn how to self-soothe.

My 600-Lb. Life: She continues therapy

Dr. Paradise was careful to reassure her that he wasn’t taking her mother. He just wanted her to grow a bit as an independent woman.

On Reddit, fans admit they loved seeing the way Dr. Paradise took charge of the situation. Fans agreed Margaret and Millie really needed this intervention from a therapist.
