I'm guessing you are at least somewhat hypnotizable and it's part of what makes you a good therapist because it's easy to tune into other people to get the feeling of what they're feeling. Part of what goes with being highly empathizable is you can sort of easily take on what somebody else is mentioning might be a new way to be. Well, just engaging

with a patient and learning about them and learning how they deal with their problems kind of

pulls you in and you can connect with them because you

can not just think about it but you can feel it with them. So you know they become

your movie and you engage with it and become part of it, you begin to feel what life is like from their point of view, not just yours.

I sometimes find when I'm treating people, Anne, that I'm sort of a spectator at my own movie because words come to me about what's the right way to formulate

this that touches them and connects with them.
