People with high IQs do tend to "outthink" everyone. It is unfortunate that we allow ourselves to do that even with those who wish to help us, and who are qualified to help us.

What I've found is that "outthinking" my T is a form of resistance. Everyone gives resistance through countering something their T might say, those with higher thought processes just give more of it...ending with the same result: "winning" the discussion. Winning the discussion often ends with the same result: we haven't learned anything from the T.

Therapy is work. Our work is different at times, because it includes stopping ourselves from doing this. We can run circles around the average person. So what? The basics of good therapy remains the same.

I hope you can begin to trust someone who wants to help you. Rather than giving countering ideas or explanations or of thinking of everything -every scenario- that could be involved... limit yourself to theirs. It can work. TC!
