So you all know I have trouble talking during therapy. My T has mentioned, on several occasions, that she wants to do a session, or even half a session, where I just free associate. I understood what she meant, but, being me, I asked her anyway. She said I would literally just say random words like chair, desk, floor, computer, etc. I told her that sounded weird.... she said she wasn't surprised I felt that way. :)
I thought she was kidding at first, but she's probably serious if she mentioned it more than once. I can understand why she would want me to try it, but I don't think it would be easy for me. She hasn't brought it up in a while, but I have been thinking about it lately, for some reason.
I know this shouldn't be a big thing, but has anyone else done free association in therapy?
