What you say is thought provoking, I'll think about it - just expressing yourself is therapeutic? I've been feeling that being understood, and the connection I make with the other person when I feel I am understood is important. Also I tend to stew on things when I feel what my T says is hurtful, only to find later that she did not intend the meaning I had interpreted from her words.
