I keep rolling this around in my head:
At home, I am consciously, constantly keeping these things in mind when I communicate: Keep it short, keep it clear, keep it concrete.

Sometimes when I am talking to you about the decisions I am making, you react as though I am waffling, not clear. Whatever, you can think that. I know where I'm going.

Last I saw you, you repeated back to me what I'd actually said to you, clarifying something. At the time, we were focused on the content of the conversation, but later I realized suddenly--Ooooooohhh!--that the language I use when summarizing my thoughts and conversations is much more ambiguous, ambivalent even, than I use anywhere outside therapy. I wonder why that is?
