“What to you is getting it all out, is putting out a whole barrage. It’s basically dumping your emotions. It’s not giving information. It actually covers over information.
When I gave you a chance at the end and you said a bunch of things. It was not really giving information. It was pounding something through. It’s occupying the space so that you can’t hear any feedback. It’s like holding in place a whole frame-of-reference that you’re sure is true and not allowing a space to actually find out what is true. So I’m sitting here ready to sort things out, but you’re insisting ‘This is the way it is. This is the way it is. Isn’t she terrible, and she’s doing this, this and this to me.’
This is a defense system of yours. But even though I’m pointing it out, I’m not saying you’re bad or wrong. This is information. So none of it, from my point of view, is judging you. It’s just that a lot of important therapeutic stuff is coming out. So the job for you is to hang in there, and not let your emotions get the better of you, because there are some deep-seated things (and were getting closer and closer to getting them out) that are causing you to see the world, or other people, or significant other peoples as against you. And you have this big defense system defending yourself against it. And in order for me to come in there and sort it all out, I have to get through your defense system.”
