UMS. Let’s get at it

ME: I’ve got a few things. First, these things I’ve been writing. I don’t have the insight and experience and then write about it, I have it while I’m writing. The act of tapping it into a keyboard or phone puts me in the state where I can have the experience. I’m writing it or at least thinking about it in words in my head whenever something happens when I’m not.

Thanks for describing that Paul. I do the very same thing, where I'll have a feeling, won't have words for it, but as I begin writing, I describe it like I'm talking to somebody. I know that's why therapists listen a lot, since our best answers come from us, and not them. When WE make the connections is when we see our possible solutions better.

I do the same thing when writing. It's why I may write a whole paragraph, but upon realizing some misunderstanding on my part, I'll leave the wrong part. It feels good being honest with myself plus finding better answers for questions I have. I'm able to see growth in myself doing this, and I treasure that.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts here with us. You're pretty insightful.
