It has been several years since I first heard Katherine Levine tell a story that has stayed with me. I found the story powerful. I no longer remember if it was Katherine that invented the word 'suspended disbelief' to describe what she did, but I think the term serves well to represent it. The story was that Levine was doing therapy with a young adolescent girl who had been raped. Levine responded in a way that feels quite natural to me.
