Dissection of self

Someone dear to me was reflecting on their experience with therapy and likened it to “dissecting yourself with someone else.”

This struck me as being a uniquely apt metaphor. It was a seemingly simple statement, said casually at a lunch, but carried much depth in my eyes.

It’s far more difficult to distill the essence of something into a short phrase than it is to use long winded exposition.

I appreciate those with the ability to be comprehensively concise— it’s a skill I aspire to develop.
