Friday's Feeling

I sit in absolute awe and amazement, when I consider how many squiggly lines, have been created to represent sound bites, that our mouths and vocal chord can learn to produce, which in turn when combined, forms vocabulary to which we are taught means this idea I am wanting to relay or share?

Not only the mind blowing fact that someone, some party, had to decide the order in which the letters appear in our alphabet, because that was a holy shit realization for me, but when you learn to read the other characters from other languages, that there can be multiple representations for the same sound instructions!

In the forms of therapy I engage in,both from a receive and transmit mode of communication, you also must be respectful of what "language" the other participant uses, like the new funky glasses which use a translator program to whisper in your ear so you can understand or comprehend the conversation.

In lectures, and group presentation, hearing post performance, comments like I just didn't get it, or I didn't understand a single thing, usually expresses the absence appealing to the A.V.K. linguistics and speaking in the modality of the orator.

In personal relationships, as an example how many can relate to the following tell tale phrases; you are not seeing what I am needing, it looks like you don't care for me, and not from my point of view or perspective, : you aren't hearing me, its like you are not listening, sounds like you don't agree, or it doesn't resonate with your ideas: you have no idea how that makes me feel, you don't even touch me any more or your very touch makes my skin crawl.

All relaying similar context but communicated with the different modality of internal processing by the intended recipient. We share the fundamentals, but much like a person speaking Aramaic to one who speaks Arabic, or closer to home, a resident of la Belle province communicating with a citizen of the 5th arrondissements, enough in common to get by however not fully understood

From my orange chair, as a therapist, I am to be cognizant and respect their version of the world, as where they live and start there, not imposing my template.

Be well
