What is that psychology theory where the psychiatrists says absolutely nothing

[applegrove]

and lets the patient fill in blanks in a monologue? Anyone know? Cause I think that is what the GOP is up to with all of their dead air. Does it force the patient's projections up to the surface?

1. And how do you feel about that?

I don't know what it's called but I think it sucks.

[applegrove]

3. LOL! Yeah some doctor tried that on me and I had nothing to say because I am quiet.

I struggled the whole hour.

5. A bullshit game you have to pay thousands of dollars to play. What bullshit.

[RandomThoughts]

6. I understand that concept.

Although I have been very clear.

I am due beer and travel money, and many experiences.

And the world should be more just and compassionate.


However, why would that not register with people, because they are not thinking and feeling, because they have been told a narrative that fits what they think, and from that they never thought. If you are told what you expect, and everything is comfortable, then you begin to sleep and coast.

There is coercive shock, that is fear or dread. And that gets into some things, like fear of hell, over what makes sense, or fear of hardship over what makes sense.


There is also educational shock, that is a riddle, it does not harm, but can prime a thinking feeling process, sometimes.


Then there is good music.

Can you see the blockers in that song?


I should say, the high school play book, for defensive corners, had a code call out, 'monkey' for a play reaction move. That is what that is about actually. So you might not see that the same.

9. They ask open ended questions

because they generally get someone talking about their feelings and that is generally considered therapeutic.

[applegrove]

10. No. The theory I am thinking of isn't nearly that kind. With this one you get

perhaps some body language but no words.

12. Is he a monk?

:rofl:

[applegrove]

13. I'm someone who has trouble making conversation. I'm really quiet unless I am around

an active listener. It was awful. "Is he a monk?" rotflmao!
