my last therapist seemed to be all about affiliative gesture. most of the people over on the north sure. affirmation bias, indeed. don't ever ask them something where they have the option of nodding and agreeing - because nod and agree they will. they would nod and agree with everything right up to an instruction to electrocute another. all for the function of social bonding. pretty f*ck*ng sure of it.

how do you communicate meaningful content with such people?

all i got is: you don't.

that is why i didn't feel listened to. i didn't feel like my last t heard the content of what i was saying. i didn't actually need her to agree with what i was saying - i just needed her to be able to grasp it. she couldn't really get much beyond my tone of voice.

communication...

yay internet.

only... even here... sigh.
