ABSTRACT
We see and hear what we are open to noticing.Several years ago I was in session with a woman I call Hannah (You can read more about her in Bernstein, 2005, Chapter Two). We had been working together for a year and a half. During this session Hannah became so angry at me that she took her shoe and began slamming it on the floor-in large measure to avoid hitting me with it. She was angry because she was sharing a deeply moving experience she had had involving two cows being hauled in a truck to market. I was interpreting her experience as more symbolic than real.
