You know, I think this is really good advice. It's a lot easier said than done to just take people at their word, but I think therapy is a good place to practice that. It's been an important part of my therapy, personally. You'll drive yourself nuts if you worry too much about what people "secretly" think, whether they mean what they say, try to read their minds, etc.
