This is a really great distinction that I think a lot of therapists miss. Many of them are so focused on "wrong thinking" that they invalidate what's actually a really finely tuned ability honed by people who survived long term trauma. So instead of affirming the client's strength--their spidey senses--they undermine them in a way that's really crazy making. So yeah...it's the interpretation, not the perception. That's great insight.
Thanks for this!
