What Season 3 of Shrinking

Jimmy Laird still hasn't gotten over the death of his wife, but he no longer holds back what he thinks in front of his patients. This season, he and an improvised team of friends and clients recover the pieces of the previous chapter. There are grudges to settle, second chances to seize and a long road toward healing. Paul faces new Parkinson's challenges, Liz and Derek have to make tough decisions, and Gaby moves forward in her relationship with Maya. Jimmy, meanwhile, struggles with empty nest syndrome and with the decision Alice has made. A few new faces join the group.
