Psychotherapists believe in changing negative, irrational beliefs that their clients with mental health issues have with more positive, rational beliefs.

And one topic many counselors talk about during therapy sessions is about mind reading.

For example, some people who have issues with getting along with others, or some of those who have problems with relationships with others, think they know what other people are thinking, perhaps about them, whether it be folks in their lives whom they know well, or people that they hardly know.

Therapists point out that you can't read other people's minds. You don't know what they believe. You don't know what they're thinking.

Interesting.

What do you think about mind reading? Have you heard therapists talk about mind reading?

My therapist has never talked about mind reading but she can sure tell if something is wrong. I guess she has paid enough attention to me to know by my mannerism or something.. She can tell my moods before I can tell my own moods. I had a dog that could too. I must put out a lot of energy.

We can't really tell what someone is thinking unless maybe if we know them real well like a sibling. Or someone we have spent a lot of time with. And there are people that act a certain way and think another. There are fake people too. People that play mind games. Which is something that baffles me because living life is hard enough let alone be manipulative. I just don't understand that type of person. I have gotten off track I guess.

Thanks for the thread. Gives us something to think about.

Have a good evening,

Hugs, Karen...
