Guess that's why I like having my appointments right after lunch with my psychologist. She's been able to clear her mind from the morning sessions & start fresh in the afternoon with me.

There are some terminologies that psychologists use just like with any profession......is dealing with the things the way they see it.....just like when I was in my engineering career......my explanation of what was going on was the same with the other engineers as with those who were not an engineer but talking to me about it.

It's similar to the DBT group......the terminology is what it is no matter how technical......we learn how we DBT fits our life with it's terminology, it's not that easy to figure out how to fit DBT into our life with our own terminology because each person has their own terminology. Think the terminology helps us see better how what we are doing fits into the psychology we are going to therapy for (just a thought on this)....keeps me out of my emotional mind & helps me focus on the facts of what is really happening.
