Well, yes. Everybody knows intellectualisation = bad. I mean, it is one of the (named) defences and all. So it wouldn't be particularly... Charitable(?) to think I meant that.
What word would you choose? For a therapist who was theoretically able to cope with a bit more than the usual 6-12 week educational block of cbt strategies supplemented with a bit of sensory stuff? For someone who could cope with ambiguity in working through ones own and others intentions. For someone who was able to observe well enough to notice pattern instead of frantically reorganizing data to fit their pre-existing paradigm?
Perhaps for someone who liked to read and to learn. Who had been exposed to a number of different theories and paradigms. To have some sense in things that can vary (being open to develop a shared conception) and some sense in commonality (some grip on the way things are).
Have you ever been given therapy by someone who trained in something else at a community college for three years then did a few week or weekend workshop course in how to give therapy?
I didn't use to have all the... stereotypes? judgements? associated with this. No. I had to waste several years of my life learning the hard way.
