It's so hard to hear oneself.
I know my voice rises and falls in pitch when I read to my son. A bit mechanically perhaps, but I know it does. So maybe that's a different phenomenon.
I'm trying to think of the dynamic in the room. It's definitely parent-child, but not a particularly subserviant child. The softness of volume may have something to do with that. But the tone of the conversation itself isn't at all flat or monotone. At least I don't think it is.
I often feel like the process of allowing access to that part of myself is almost like self hypnosis. Words are often hard for me to find. I wonder if that affects my presentation. In gaining access to my emotions, I lose my facility with words.
Although I suppose my normal tone of voice might be a bit flat. Maybe I'll ask my husband. I know I have a bad "ear". I can't do accents or pronunciations or voice impressions. My husband spent a hilarious interval last night trying to get me to say "milieu" correctly, to no avail. Maybe it's just an exaggeration of a normal tendency for me.
