Dear Daisym, I meant the first interpretation you stated. I think the client is quite vulnerable in the therapy situation. It can be so very painful to examine the real roots of problems. Many choose not to go that way (just leave it alone). I cannot judge them. Lately, I have realized how very scary this whole process is. So, yes, I meant the first.
I agree with what you said in your post. Perhaps those who want to invalidate "feelilngs" are afraid of their feelings? And, that is what I meant. Again, that is just their reaction to the situation. This is, of course, from my personal experiences. Its a tough course but I firmly believe the only way to resolve our issues. Works for me even though this is an especially hard time for me and I get tempted to walk away.
However, keep expressing your "positive" (I find your comments very supportive) thoughts on this subject. Thanks for posting. Widget
