Many of us are afraid to communicate to others our true feelings. One of the most influential modern psychologists and a founder of family therapy, the late Virginia Satir describes how internalized "rules" for social behavior limit our communication. Ms. Satir demonstrates various communication styles--depreciation, blaming, intellectualizing and irrelevance--which people use to cover up their feelings of low self-esteem.

What Virginia explains here reminds me a lot of Perls gestals assumptions that our body tells the truth about what our words fear to say, and his idea that we should say what we think as words are the sensored version of our thoughts that serve to manipulate others. I think Virginia neans it in a protective form however.

I hope to be as great a therapist as Virginia when I grow up!
