<font color="darkblue">Rapunzel, please remember when you are figuring in your distortions of thought as it applies to what you think about other ppl, that your distortions also apply to what you think about yourself. You sell yourself way short sometimes, imo. </font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
At the risk of engaging in more of these, it seems like if someone were to open up my head and look inside, it would be nothing but a swarming mass of distortions </div></font></blockquote><font class="post"> Are you sure? Aren't you also "distorting" this? Therapy does make us question what and how we think! I disagree with abusive therapy, and fear that sometimes your T has crossed the line, as you know (I've told you before.) Everyone has problems grasping reality when their thoughts are disordered. It takes a gentle, patience T, imo to lead us there. That you are avoiding so extremely would normally tell me to slow down in therapy sessions or expectations. Just because you might agree you aren't seeing things as they are does not mean you can now make giant leaps through the process. It is a process. If you are on the right road, at last, then going slower won't put you off course. TC!

Yeah, I know, even to say that is another distortion. A lot of the point I am trying to make with this thread is please try not to judge people based on what I have told you about them, because I've been distorting it all along. I wonder what the connection is between distortion and resistance. I know that I am not gentle or patient with myself though, and we could easily switch theories and talk about how much I project of my own feelings onto other people. Projection and mind reading seem to be getting at the same thing, don't you think? Maybe I am the one who is pushing me to the point that I shut down and don't move at all.
Sky, and all of you, thanks for your comments. I am trying to learn to see things more clearly, and being able to bounce this off of you and get another perspective really helps. Rap

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