The pressure to appear logical and coherent can create anxiety and shame, especially in therapeutic settings. Clients often apologize for being incoherent, fearing they will be viewed as irrational. This is tied to societal beliefs about mental health, where coherence is often equated with stability. In therapy, the desire for understanding can lead clients to prioritize coherence over emotional expression. However, embracing incoherence can be an experiment in living that potentially enriches therapeutic exchange, leading to deeper emotional exploration and insights.
Therapy thrives when clients can be incoherent and play with language, allowing for incoherence to prove valuable as an experiment in living.
The pressure to feel logical and coherent can be tyrannical; we carry a deep anxiety about not being understood, linking mental health with the idea of making sense.
