Oh my God, I could never meet with a T who spoke like this and keep a straight face. I understand the science of it all, but the wording is so silly it sounds like it could be from an SNL skit. My T will say something like "what's happening right now", and I think that and some of the other quotes are totally normal. Maybe it's because of my age (early 40's) but some of the more abstract language just seems weird coming from another adult.

In a class of mine one professor thought this kind of talk was "beautiful". Just not my style, I'm too pragmatic.
