Perhaps Very briefly. And believe you me, when that happens the response is not always love and affirmation. :)
I'm not blaming the board for this. A natural response is frequently anger and confusion, since the times when it happens are not necessarily when I'm being most love-able.
But also, emotional me can't type or even read for very long without rational me taking over. It must be a different part of the brain involved. It was hard for it even to have access to words, and still thinks wordlessly and has to work hard to find the words - often with the help of rational me. And uses them very idiosynchratically. My therapist is used to that, is patient and encouraging, and even seems to enjoy the imagery. But T2 and T3 seemed angry about it.
As I go deeper and deeper into that place in myself, my sentence structure goes out the window although I back up and correct myself painstakingly, my word choice lessens, and my frustration level shoots through the roof. It's not a question of age or childishness, so much as it's a level of being, or maybe just using a separate part of the brain.
