Sometimes, I'll have these aha moments where I'll reinterpret my understanding of what's expected of me to fit others' expectations. Like, I have had about three or four therapists and we always get stuck on this question: 'What are your treatment goals?' because goal-setting is where I can't bullshit my way through it. For me, setting goals is the most vulnerable a person can be.
My responses have always been clinical. Almost like SMART goals. Maybe because I can't differentiate the nuances in the same word in different contexts. Maybe.
But a therapist is looking for something authentic. And I can't be any more authentic than to create a piece of art.
