When a therapist just lets you ramble on and on and then you realize you have been talking for awhile and they have just been stareing at you and not interrupting?
Its a specfic type of psychology skill therapists use and it has a name I can't remember.

a therapist takes notes while the client just talks about whatever comes to mind. Signmund freud called it psychoanaylsis. young adults today call it "venting", ranting. |

My therapist will do this sometimes, too. It can be helpful when I just need to get stuff out. Do you find it helps you? Or is it more awkward because they're not saying anything?

I find it kind of confusing. Because it can go on for a couple of minutes and then I realize she hasn't said anything and I feel a bit dumb.

it seems like something for you to talk about then. Does she literally not say anything, like, "oh" or "hm" or "ugh"? Or nodding or something? As then I definitely understand how it would feel awkward. Maybe if you told her you'd rather her say something, it could help. |

I had that - active listening - for 20yrs...hard to deal with in the begining.. I discovered she was really listening... I finished theraoy 4yrs ago and realised no one will ever listen to me like that again. In civvy street no ones got that ability to really listen... What a gift those sessions were
