I think Dr Stuphen hit the nail on the head, paraphrasing, One can have quite valid observations and insights to temper ones own experience, but that is not the same as having the ability to deconstruct the validity of another's experience. You can only talk about what you experience, not another.
xxxxxxxxxxxxx It seems trouble starts on this board when people try to generalize their own experience to a universal, to all others. Or when someone (A) tries to explain another's experience (B) in A's terms and experience -- and possibly limitations. Or when motives are imputed or diagnosed (with any basis?) Not to say one can't speculate as to whether an observation of a few others behaviors or self-reports, or ones own experience, can be generalized. But that is far different from proclaiming "my experience" is THE EXPERIENCE. (Beyond discussion of who this pesky "my" fellow is.) (I know this an ADULT board, but "nailing" and "head" above were meant quite innocently.) ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Need Help? Get Help!
