I read it to him, usually. Or he reads it silently. In the beginning he'd make me read it to him, but that's no longer necessary.
It seems astonishing to me that people who actively Babble and are in long term therapy of the interpersonal sort can manage not to mention Babble. It's such a big part of my life. And a huge percentage of my socializing activity. Even when I'm not in a dither about something Babbly, Babble makes me think about things in a new way and offers me insights that I'd have never thought of on my own. It opens avenues of conversation that on the surface seem unrelated to me, but are of course related to me in some meandering thought process.
It's like Babble is a field of gold. No, not quite right. But Babble is a rich source of something that is integral to therapy. Not bringing Babble to therapy would be missing out on so very much. A depth and richness that makes therapy... Darn it. It's not something I can express.
I'm not criticizing the choices of others of course. It's just that it's been so.... to me. Drat. I hate it when I lose my words.
