Jesse was reading my novel, Home Inspection, a story told through the psychotherapy of two patients.
"I was reading the chapter where Tom talks about decorating his new home, and I thought, 'No patient has ever talked to me in that kind of detail about such things.' "
Really? People tell me stories in a lot of detail, at least some do. I started to think about it, do people talk to me in that detail. Maybe not. Then my next two patients came in. One talked about a favorite food that was on special at a grocery store and how they only stock it for certain seasons. The next talked about the seating arrangements (chair by chair) for a party she is organizing. Yes, people talk to me in that kind of detail.
It left Jesse and I to wonder if there is some difference about our styles that people talk to us about a different degree of detail, or if people talk to female healthys about different things than they talk to male healthys about. What do you think?
