sentence completion for repression   Message List

Re: [nathaniel_branden] Re: sentence completion for repression

In sentence completion work, I never use the word "because" because it
invites intellectualizing. Morever it demands a single response to the "right"
ending. Use "One of the things I'm angry about is..." and watch the "because"
emerge naturally.
Try it out and see for yourself.

Hi folks:) I'm not sure that this is what Dr. Branden has in mind, but when I tried "I am angry because..." I noted that my anger seemed to become magnified...

That explanation seems a bit confusing to me. I think by narrowing it down to something explicit, the results would be more objective. I do sometimes get...

Hi Chris, Well, your sentence completion ends up with determinism. Let's say you end it with "I am angry because I just am." What's next? How about "One of...

I think that using the sentence stem "I am angry beause--" will tend to rationalize an emotion.. when emotions are not meant to be 'justified' but merely felt...

Repression is a psychological process, and the word itself carries no meaning. Try selecting certain stems from the back of Dr Branden's books that relate to...
