You usually learn this during one of your earlier sessions.
I left the office thinking like how many times have I violated my friends with my problems?
Crap I really thought that’s what ya did with a friend was just bitch about your life to them.
Turns out, no that’s not preferred by anyone at all.
And then at the next session you learn this other tidbit about filtering, filtering everything you dislike in a person or situation to get yourself in touch with their best self.
Imagine back in the day where there was a thing call party lines? Most of the neighborhoods or buildings would share one so you’d get on or off it, hang up or just keep eavesdropping. That actually happened. People would tap the cradle if they wanted the line. But most of ’em were just check’n in with the local news.
Maybe that’s why cinema didn’t catch on so quickly. You could throw on your pajamas, pop some corn and then hop on a party line.
Life was simpler then.
