> Your thoughts are very much like Gestalt therapy. I like that!
Gosh, you're right, but I would've never thought of it that way.... I know a little about Gestalt and it seems intriguing. You know, I pretty much always think this way, though, like becoming the object briefly...maybe I thought everyone did.... Very interesting.
> Broken crayons are OK. They're like all the toys on The Island of Misfit Toys in the "Rudolph" movie...I really always wanted to go live and play with them...
>>> OMG! ME TOO! I love the Misfit toys!:-) They're great, don't you think?
This really did come up in therapy at least once. When I first said it, I think I was maybe upset, and my T. looked sort of sad and sorry....but the more I talked, his demeanor changed, and I think he asked me what I thought the good and nice parts were about identifying with misfit toys. I said that even if I felt like a misfit in the *big* world, the toys on the island belong with each other, they aren't misfits on their island, and...they are NOT alone! He seemed to like that answer a lot.
