Ellis was blunt and wasted no words. From a description of their exchange: 'Beck reflected and then said, to Ellis: "Everybody believes they're right. Why should we believe *you*?" Not missing a beat, Ellis replied, "I believe the probability exists that I'm wrong and they're right... but it's only a very low degree of probability." '
Ooooh. Yeaaaahhh. Not big with the social subtlety is our Albert.
Which is why I like his stuff. Wouldn't necessarily want to have him over for dinner, but the no-b-s-y-ness of his approach can be a refreshing nudge out of therapeautic complacency a lot of people can fall into.
For some folks, it's comforting to stay in chaos and Albert just lends not quarter. It's as if he's challenging his clients with "You say you want to change. So change!"
His assurety, while annoying and seemingly self-serving (I don't think it ever really is) has a core of truth to it. If you can imagine a change, you can create that change.
Glad to know he's still kicking. (probably literally)
And in the interest of fair play, he comes off as a kitten compared to Fritz Perls.
Oh. My. God.
Every dish in my apartment is clean, except for the glass I'm drinking from right now. This is quite an accomplishment for me, and it hasn't happened in several months (please note that that does *not* mean that I just washed some dishes that have been dirty for several months...I just haven't completed the task for several months). I really was beginning to think this was never going to happen. But, I did it! And there are no pots/pans/stones on the stove. This is such an exciting moment for me.

whoooo!!! clean dishes!
I had a similar epiphany on Friday, when I washed every dirty piece of laundry in the house except what I was wearing. I was tempted to go naked and finish the job, but I didn't.
I love that feeling, vw. I like to prolong it by ordering takeout that can be eaten straight from the container.
Ugh. So far today I have
- Spilled water down the front of my shirt.
- Gotten a bloodstain on my (beige) pants
- Cried because I had the wrong release date for a movie.
Why did I get out of bed again?
Why did I get out of bed again?
Because The World of Liquids decreed that you would be its Bitch!
But only today.
I have been staining the hell out of all my clothes. yesterday I spilled coffee all down the back of my shirt and pants. Gah. Everytime I eat salad, it seems that a piece of vinegrette-d lettuce falls on my pants or shirt.
I also bleed on my clothes all the time. So, to sum up, it sucks and I feel your pain.
yesterday I spilled coffee all down the back of my shirt and pants.
Were you trying to drink from the back of your head again? There is no ingress there, you know.

The words make sense, but the back of my neck is not convinced.
It's you and me against the liquids, Nora.
Damn good thing I'm not at a sewage treatment plant today.
