> Other people can't get what we can't/don't express or exhibit.
To me, this is just another example of blaming the patient. IT IS NOT TRUE that people cannot get anything from you when you are unable to express things well in words. SOME people CAN get a lot out of observing all your actions, whether they are expressed well in words or not. I have been able to do that myself in the past when just observing people, so I know it can be done.
My thinking is affected by how the people I am in contact with react to me. Sometimes their reactions calm and reassure me and my thinking improves. Sometimes just the opposite happens. When I am confused, my present therapist does not know how to deal with it. He says so, and shows it in other ways. That affects me -- it increases my panic and the impairment of my thinking. Not all people are necessarily like that. THEY ARE NOT.
I give up. No one can see what I am talking about.
