We speak in order to express our feelings and thoughts, but it is extremely difficult to convey information to others about what is really happening to us.
We speak in order to express our feelings and thoughts, but it is extremely difficult to convey information to others about what is really happening to us. Psychotherapist Rimma Efimkina believes that all verbal messages are nothing more than a kind of “code” in which our true feelings and needs are encrypted. That is why one of the key tasks of the psychotherapist (who in this case is likened to a Martian who does not know the earthly language) is to unravel these “codes” and understand the deep meaning of the “metamessages” hidden in seemingly ordinary words. The book helps to understand how this happens.
