My therapist has great ....

Posted by cricket on July 14, 2005, at 14:51:48

Instincts or intuition or a 6th sense or something.

We were in the middle of a session and he says, "For some reason a poem by Elizabeth Bishop, what's it called - The Waiting Room - just popped into my head. You know which one I mean."

I nodded. All I could remember was the situation - a young girl goes with her aunt to the dentist and looks at National Geographic.

He shrugs.

But then when I get home I look the poem up and it fits so much of what I have been feeling, feelings that I couldn't articulate, that I didn't even know were there until the poem kind of gelled them for me.

And he's done this before. Says a book, story or poem just popped into his head but he never gives exact details. Just shrugs it off (Perhaps that's a manipulation on his part)but whenever I re-read, he's always dead on.

He's not very caring or gentle like some Ts and a good deal of the time it feels like he can't even remember the specifics of my situation, but he has an incredible associative mind that can be delightful.

So what areas do your Ts excel in?
