Understanding Psychosis Metaphorically
"That's how I kind of sense [empathy]... their way, their talking, where's their focus... um, are they putting in an effort."
"It's just... her essential being. It's like, you could tell that's what she was meant to be doing: helping people."
"I can't exactly pinpoint what she had... she had that nurturing, sort of caring sphere about her."
"It's a difficult thing to describe. Kind of like... very subtle facial features. I mean... the same way you can tell if somebody's fake laughing."
"I'm sensing a desire that they want to feel what I'm feeling…. [To get] as close to experiencing the stuff that's going on in my head as they can possibly get."
"You could tell that she was genuinely, very interested in what I'm saying, like very intent and very focused, almost leaning in fact, in front of her chair as I'm talking."
"It felt basically like it was a computer…. Basically I could type in everything, and pills would spit out.... If this is what it's going to be like, where there's no empathy, then I may as well just type it into a computer, and I could diagnose myself."
"I'm just another person in this machine. I understand building relationships takes time, takes energy. I understand that we don't have infinite resources to put somebody in a chair that's well-rested and genuinely cares about what [clients] say."
"There's no feeling or emotion that I can relate [psychosis] to. It's kind of like a blind person that's never seen the colour blue… you can't explain that colour to the person."
Everything in my world seemed like a dream.... This entity was showing me a world that was the real world - I started believing in [the entity’s] world more than [the real] world.
"Empathy is something that you can feel for someone, but you don't do it. You feel empathy for lots of things... but you never really act on it…. As soon as you start acting on it, then that means that it changed to caring."
"Just the way she talked, like her aura about her - like, she seemed really caring, rather than... like a nuisance."
Non-Empathic Therapist Qualities

“This was not right for me... they weren't really listening to that.”
