My T and I were talking about something (as usual, I can't recall what) and she said, "filtering." I looked at her and just repeated the word, 'filtering.' I think T thought I was agreeing with her, and I might have been, since I sometimes do the 'selective hearing' thing. However, I looked up the word filtering in psychology and the definitions were so complicated that I gave up. Does anyone have a definition that might fit this situation, vague as it may be?
