And another poingntant (scuse my spelling) moment was when my bro and I sang along to a favourite pop song one afternoon. My bro at the time was deeply depressed and largely uncommunicative, so music has a really important part in the healing process, I think. Well, probably all the arts do, really... worth thinking about. I'm glad its been a salve for you! xoJocehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01961864298928931076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21617402.post-56706285587477055242008-10-03T10:52:00.000+10:002008-10-03T10:52:00.000+10:00Yeah, you'd think that talking about feelings woul...Yeah, you'd think that talking about feelings would be very 'unsticking' but I've found it doesn't work that way if feelings is ALL you talk about. I changed counsellors recently because my previous one wanted me to talk ONLY about feelings and in the end I was just going over the same stuff with no analysis and no resolution. It was enormously frustrating. I was right to move on to someone else.Feminahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00165898043661304241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21617402.post-53420847155464121262008-10-03T10:44:00.000+10:002008-10-03T10:44:00.000+10:00That looks really interesting.

My last assignment I did on a visit where the people wouldn't talk about feelings at all - information questions got the conversation going and feeling ones closed it down. I must check out this book, because it might have more background. Thanks.Hippomanic Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285378246081322317noreply@blogger.com
