Hi Dinah,
It sounds to me like you are thinking a great deal about this. I know that you process therapy on a deep intellectual level a lot of the time. I was wondering what it might be like for you to just go to therapy and just experience it without thinking about it.Kind of like the advice that Kevin Costner gave to Tim Robbins in Bull Durham: "Don't think, meat. Just throw."
I'm projecting my own therapy experience here, because whenever I try to logically understand the therapy process, my T points out that I've removed myself from that very process. It's a defense for me. So I can either sit and scratch my head and wonder and question about what's going on and what's supposed to be going on. Or what's around the next corner. Or I can just "be" in therapy. I do find that when I let go and just participate, it's usually more productive.
Just a thought.
