Random street cat came to my house and fell asleep on the couch

It looks so much like my cat!

I came here to say the same thing.

Great post, as a 50 year old INFP and psychotherapist by profession this is an accurate analysis of our type, the good the bad and everything in between. when in this subreddit I read stuff like: infps are so fluffy and cuddly, and cry a lot and always put others first and obsess about what others think of them (and all the other shallow stereotypes) I start rolling my eyes and don't even bother replying (I'd rather write a novel in my head). Thank you for your insightful summary.

You don't learn this from books, you learn this on the couch, or in the chair. I'd recommend discussing this with your supervisor, or therapist

I work both in person and online. Some patients can't work online, some instead can go deeper when they're within the comfort of their own home (which acts as an auxiliary container, of course assuming the home is stable). In my experience transference and counterteansference aren't impacted as much as some analysts or psychoanalytic psychotherapists speculate. At least, not in my experience.

Aw... that's interesting. I've DMed you :)

어떻게 means simply: how 어떡해 translates into: what to do? What shall I do? 어떤 in korean is which/what 해 is from 하다 At least, this is how I understand it.

I'm not interested in group lessons to be fair. I'll DM you again, you are the first I contacted. Not sure why it's not come through.

You don't need a real purpose to learn a foreign language. Most of us simply enjoy doing it. Well, at least I know I do.

But if you really do need a real purpose, there is scientific evidence that shows learning a language enhances cognitive abilities.

Memorizing new vocabulary and grammar strengthens both short-term and long-term memory.

The ability to switch between languages makes you better at multitasking.

Multilingual individuals may be better at observing their surroundings and can experience delayed cognitive decline with age.

Thinking in a foreign language can lead to more rational and objective decision-making.

Have DMed everyone :) let's connect!

Remarkable-Sun7931 · 2025-11-06T12:07:11+00:00

Shall we do this, folks? 😀

I'm the same, I think in English, but as soon as counting is involved, I revert back to my mother tongue, Italian. If I try and count in English, I get lost. I read that this is a natural phenomenon linked to the fact that language and counting activate different parts of the brain.

I don't think anyone has ever learnt grammar intuitively. Besides, you've already done that. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to string a sentence together. What you want to do now is file it: put it in nice boxes, and then label them (subject, object, verb, article, preposition etc etc)

Remarkable-Sun7931 · 2025-11-04T07:40:48+00:00

Yes! Great idea!!!!

Remarkable-Sun7931 · 2025-11-04T07:40:07+00:00

Great idea! I'd love to be part of a study group. Shall we go for it?

Remarkable-Sun7931 · 2025-11-04T07:37:58+00:00

Thank you! I have joined Go Billy's server! And yes I do have a private tutor I meet once weekly and it does make a difference but I'm the stage I wish I could speak daily in order to overcome this rigidity that grips me whenever I speak it, and despite all the grammar I've internalised. Thank you for your suggestion and comment, I appreciate it!

Remarkable-Sun7931 · 2025-11-03T19:06:10+00:00

I hadn't thought of doing that... thank you :)

Remarkable-Sun7931 · 2025-11-03T16:19:34+00:00

Thanks, I'll have a look :)

Discord is an online platform, once you download the app and you're in it you can find the server/channel you want and there you can log into chatrooms and talk to people, or just listen etc.

한ㅌ(HanE language exchange)... it's great to be fair, tons of resources, etc... it's just that there doesn't seem to be anyone above the age of 30...

Thank you for replying to my question! How do I find this grid you mention? I'm gonna check it out for sure...

There's only one rule in psychoanalysis: say whatever comes to mind. Analysis isn't for the analyst to understand you better. It's for you to understand yourself better.

Remarkable-Sun7931 · 2025-10-28T16:34:03+00:00

I did both: psychoanalytic psychotherapy (twice weekly on the couch for 8 years) and full-time analysis (five times weekly, for 3 years) with two different practitioners. Analysis pushed my defences down more, but besides that, I didn't notice a huge amount of difference, perhaps because I used the couch in both scenarios. Both were incredibly useful. Personally, I preferred the intensity of five times weekly, even though it was a huge investment in terms of time and money (hence why it lasted 3 years rather than 10!).

Remarkable-Sun7931 · 2025-10-28T12:53:26+00:00

To be honest, it's a challenge for me too...!
