If I say “same” too, can we all stop being embarrassed?

It’s very interesting that this is true. How quickly/easily we switch to a kind of outside view, and how rarely we do it.

Yeah, same thing happens when I'm showing my city/office/neighborhood/etc. to a visitor. Like, when I lived in NYC I didn't notice the trash everywhere until I was showing tourists around.

Or rubberducking. There is little more infuriating than being stymied, going to chat or somewhere to explain it, and halfway through the description suddenly going - 'oh. Oh. 𝘋𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵! Brain, why couldn't you tell me that 20 minutes ago?'

I'm convinced this is 90%+ of the value of a therapist. A human rubberduck who's legally barred from divulging the debugging is incredibly powerful. I highly recommend getting a therapist, it's a secret superpower for pretty much everything.

I'm not quite that pessimistic about what therapists do. :) The Dodo Bird Verdict literature does point to individual differences in therapist efficacy (which have nothing to do with method/experience etc) so good therapists are doing *something* more than just listening.
