Isn't it interesting that we came up with the same terminology! But it so perfectly describes what happens.
My therapist tends to wait until I can say something and that is so frustrating. I'd rather he try and guess and I'll verify or deny. That sometimes supplies some words, or helps me move out of being so emotional. We've come up with a hand signal for me to tell him when I can't talk as opposed to when I don't wish to talk. But I keep forgetting to use it.
The talking softly is so frustrating as well. He doesn't generally say anything, but moves closer to hear. I'll figure out that I'm doing it again, and I get so angry with myself. He's ok with it, he says, but I know he gets frustrated when I'm talking too softly for him to hear.
