People who know too much People who know too much One obstacle to progress in processing is when the client has too much data. If she has too many theoretical explanations, and they are very logical and make good sense, then she thinks that she already knows.
Processing is based on learning some new things about oneself or one's life.
To do that one first needs to realize that there is something one doesn't know. Then one needs to work on finding out what that is. And then when one discovers it one can enjoy the surprise and the learning that comes out of that. Sometimes it might appear that all we are after in processing is a good explanation of what is going on, a realization of what the truth is. However, that is only on the surface.
