"It seems that the lies we tell end up in a therapy session of one kind or another."?
It's a line I came across in a British TV series "Miranda".The context is that Miranda and her mother are in a psychiatrist's office and end up blaming each other for Miranda's "scrapes" in life.And close toward the end of the session,the psychiatrist says,"It seems that the lies we tell end up in a therapy session of one kind or another." I will be very grateful if you could help me under this sentence.
By the way ,there is another sentence in this episode I also find difficult to understand which goes as follow:
Miranda:"She took me to Overeaters Anonymous once.Totally unnecessary."
Her mother:"I can explain.Belinda was showing off that Tilly had issues, so I said you did."This is a conversation between Miranda and her mother and the psychiatrist.What perplexed me is that why any mother would brag about anything like their own children having issues?Or does the "issue" here refer to something else? So please help me with these two expressions.
