Still, you get me. Thanks. It's the curse of the spectrummy / high intelligence/ overthinking group, I think.
I agree, with one caveat... I reject other peoples interpretation of my thinking as 'overthinking'. It is normal to me. I spend an awful lot of time using the tools I have to not judge, berate, and belittle people who 'underthink' by trying to remind myself that it is the proper level of thinking for them. But yeah, I get it.

Have you been sitting in some of my sessions...cause I have heard that verbatim. Not with my latest T, but every one before that.
