" Counselors also like to interject "I understand" into your rages. They think saying "I understand…” while you're yelling and trying with everything you've got not to cry will calm you down. How stupid is that? It just makes you madder! How can they even let you finish telling your side of things yet!
But the most irritating way counselors use
“I understand" is as a proclamation of their vast knowledge of you. You can have said barely anything, and there they go, telling you, "I understand!" They say it all knowingly, with a deep, calm voice like they're channeling God, "I understand."
Give me a break.
I actually think people telling me "I understand" is why I started lying about what happened to my parents. Lying was easy, and a lot less painful than the truth. "
