Indeed, you could just as easily call "logic" either "reflection" or "thoughtful consideration." I am not personally a fan of the kind of therapy where only emotions matter, where it's all about how I feel (I'm not sure this is what Jessica is saying). Earlier in my therapy I was kind of cut off from my emotional life, as in I thought emotions or feeling them were a waste of time and detracted from my head-work.

But now I'd say heart and mind and soul are reasonably in sync. Emotions aren't everything but they are one source of information that helps a person sort things out and make decisions.

I haven't had the experience of wanting to tell my T I love him, but I do know that there's love in the room and that's enough for me. Or I feel love in the room, or both.
