> I know we have talked about the positives of babble on the therapy relationship but I wonder if it causes some negatives too.
*I don't doubt that it can be negative. Things can be triggering. The fear of blocking is a prob.
>
> What I am thinking is maybe since us babblers are so much more informed than a lot of clients, I wonder if the knowlege we have can be used as a resistance as well against our T's.*I don't doubt that some could use it for avoidance. I'd like to think it makes us better informed consumers. I know a friend who I suspect uses intellectualization for distancing purposes...
>
> Like we know a lot about boundry issues and know there are many differences. But I wonder if we knew less about all the technicals like transference, boundries, ethics, and differant therapy models, it would make therapy more effective.**Not for me. I like to know this stuff. I don't want noone playing games w/me...
> It is almost like we have an inside advantage,which probably works against our T's in a waY. I am wondering even if all the psych classes I am taking is in a way hinding my progress.I just wonder if I knew less about the therapy process, if I would concentrate on the therapy in the room and not on the outside stuff.**I think its a choice you have to make at each session. What are we going to work on, what do I want to achieve, and try to flow w/it, and not intellectualize it.
I think the intellectualization is an avoidance tool. One of so many we have...> Again I don't plan on stop babbling, and i know the positives of Babble, but I wonder if it does come at a price also.
**Yup, there's a price. I've paid some. But I have learned ALOT. And for all that I hide from people, I love people. And here I can learn more, and maybe be more useful and understanding of others.
GLAD you not leaving Satin :-) Yaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy!!!!!
