She sounds quite nervous

#OscarTrial Dr saw athlete first on 23 Feb 2013 and has seen him throughout the 18 months, sometimes daily

Hartzenberg says OP was very emotional "Some of the sessions were just weeping and crying and me holding him" #OscarPistorius MV

holding him 

yes 

The #OscarPistorius family which includes uncle Arnorld and his sister Aimee listening to Hartzenberg's testimony.

#OscarTrial Hartzenberg sways as she lifts CV and reads it out carefully. Occasionally, looking up at the judge as she reads.

it's probably her that was stoking his face when he broke down on the witness stand 

I think you are right.

she does sound reluctant 

awww poor Reeva's dad is looking terribly ill 

Hartzenberg: I referred OP to a psychiatrist...OP presented with guilt or remorse; often too emotionally drained. #OscarTrial

bit full on for his doctor 

Hartzenberg: OP was sad that he couldn't attend RS's memorial or funeral. This often offers closure. #OscarTrial

#OscarTrial Dr says 'exacerbating his grief' was his awareness that he was resp for Reeva Steenkamp's death

his grief, his life affected 

He's a broken man.

this really p*sses me off, this trial was never about Reeva...it's about him and how it's affected him 

He looked at that house before he was with her 

Hartzenberg: #Pistorius was angry and questioned God's grace and his own faith. Frustrated at not being able to contact Steenkamp's family.

Maybe she offers tactile counselling?

For me this is very compelling evidence. Especially as the doctor didn't want to be a witness.

that makes me want to boak - not sure that would be allowed here as it crosses too many boundaries 

dirrdy doctor 

Hartzenberg: as result of standing accused of premeditated murder, Mr Pistorius lost the friends he shared with Miss Steenkamp @eNCAnews

most of the twitterpeeps (lawyers and legal journos) feel this lady is a very strong witness and the fact she didn't want to attend is going in her favour 

Dr H speaks of #OscarPistorius losing "his voice" as champion for disadvantaged and disabled.

Hartzenberg: Fall from sporting hero to villain in media left him humiliated. He felt "utterly worthless". #Pistorius

I agree. A level of detachment is necessary in counselling.

Hartzenberg: I've never seen Oscar Pistorius lose his temper. I observed him being suspicious, anxious. His remorse is genuine @eNCAnews

I can't believe that Reeva's parents were mentioned in her statement  why would they want to meet him after he had just killed their daughter 

#OscarTrial Hartzenberg: We are left with a broken man who has lost everything: his love, his reputation, his career, his friends

Very interesting listening to the psychologist - her findings entirely consistent with the view I formed spending time with #OscarPistorius

thank god Nel is putting some focus back on who really matters 

Mark would agree, they are mates 

Nel to Hartzenberg: what are your views on the Steenkamp family? Would you not expect a broken family? @eNCAnews

#OscarTrial Nel: yes, we’re dealing with a broken man, but he’s still alive and can pursue his career. BB

the paralympic committee have stated that there is no bar to OP picking up his career when he wants to - I bet if he does, he'll do it in memory of Reeva and nothing to do with losing his earning potential 

Who is Mark Williams-Thomas?

#OscarTrial Nel points out the athlete is 'still alive'. Suggests he intends to continue his life/career. Dr says she's no eivd of that

Nel says #OscarPistorius is broken, but still alive...says Barry Steenkamp had a stroke because of Reeva's death #sabcnews

Nel has lost none of his aggressive style in the last month. Wonders why psychologist didn't discuss resuming career with #OscarPistorius

he's a criminologist here in the UK (I took some of his modules while doing my degree in English believe it or not) he does insights into high profile cases and usually they are shown on C4 or C5 

investigative journo Yogi, he did the programme on Jimmy Savile
