Today I filmed for the psychology faculty at university- shooting various symptoms to be diagnosed by students in exams. It was so interesting! One of the psychologists said I should write a story called the psychologist and the empty chair.
I wondered why all my psychologists took such long pauses. I’ve been through a fair few and they all do it, and now I’m sure I know why. They’re getting advice from someone. They hear voices. I’m always asked if I hear voices, but I don’t. I’m sure it’s them. My current therapist even has a spare chair in the room, facing us like a third person.
I would definitely read that story!
I am fascinated by the concept of psychologists hearing voices. Could you please explain it a bit more? Do you mean they hear the voices of their supervisors and perhaps people they have learnt from in the past?
