My I wasn't being clear in my post, sometimes things make perfect sense in my head but then when I try communicate these ideas with others they find it hard to understand. Sorry if it wasn't clear, I hope this is clearer.
Thanks for replying. I'm still not quite sure what you mean, but I see that others get it, so maybe it's more about my not understanding this concept. If you are asking how my therapist communicates in general, I would say she's very kind and respectful--not syrupy sweet, that would not go over well at all--but we discuss things and she replies in ways that feel genuine and real. So I guess if she has a message, she just says whatever it is. Sorry if that's not helpful.
Thanks for this!
