Recently I’ve been doing some work on my house and much of my furniture has been moved to accommodate the changes. I walked into the darkness of one room and reached out to turn on a lamp in the place it used to be. It wasn’t there. But for a split second, as if by magic, I really did see it in front of me.
When I then turned to reach for it in the place I had moved it to, I realised the importance of what had just happened when applied to psychotherapy. This article explains the fundamental part expectation plays in experience, and what this means for an understanding of emotional trauma.
