Sorry. Just ignore. I don't know what I expected to find here, but I don't think it's working cuz I just feel emptier.
Thanks to everyone below. You're probably spot on in your responses. Last edited by Fixated; May 11, 2012 at 09:07 AM. |

I would take it at fact value; your mind is interesting. It sounds like you have a bit of trouble with self-worth issues, don't think much of yourself, mind, intelligence, abilities, reasons for being in therapy?
You are your mind as well as all the rest of you; you cannot divide out the way you think, categorize, imagine things from "you". If she had said, "that's what makes you so interesting" you would have had to say, "What does?" as "that" and "you" are too general. Because she made one of them more specific, your "mind" you were able to assign the way you were thinking to your uniqueness. It's a bit similar to, "you have nice large eyes, that's what helps make your face so expressive". You are you is all she was pointing out and, since it's therapy and you all are just talking/using your minds and hearts but not "doing" anything, how you think/express yourself will show up more than something else might. It's not positive or negative really, it just is (in her opinion).

I think that people are absolutely fascinating. I love to get to know someone. To see what makes them tick, how they live their lives.

My T has on occasion said the way I think is interesting.
He is clear that interesting means this helps him decide how to help me. Example: Other people may think the same way, or in different ways, and he will adjust his approach accordingly. And he does not forget to add that we all have unique and interesting minds. So his use of interesting is not the way I would use the word, I would think interesting as 'weird' (a hint of some of my self esteem) so I was very glad I asked what he meant.

I didn't get to read your original post but...My T told me that I was such an "interesting mix between practical and stubborn." I could see where she was coming from and I actually enjoyed the comment. It made me feel like I was actually being heard for once and it told me that she was really paying attention. I think we all have interesting minds in one way or another!

I didn't read your original message either. My t has said things like "I would consider you a deep thinker." At the time I didn't ask what she meant by that. (I've had other people say similar things.) Now that I've been reading a lot about introversion and highly sensitive people, I am tempted to ask her exactly what she meant by that.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
