I think I might know what you mean. I've read quite a bit of psychology, and I often read it to understand myself and the therapy more
but, I have had this real reluctance to discuss things theoretically
in some ways however, it helps me be less ashamed of myself, because I can make sense of it somehow, on the basis of how someone else has described and explained it
but, it can also be a problem when it comes with a pathologizing flavor
I bring that kind of stuff in small doses
My T is probably an awesome teacher, and I am often tempted to use terms and concepts, but I really try to understand things mostly on an emotional level in therapy. For me, it feels like a different relationship if I am too much in my head. So, I can understand why you used the term "dual relationship".
