Chloaca,
Your reply to Cassandra was most interesting! I wanted to know if you could clarify or give an example of imperfect mirroring. I did this with a
four but was corrected. I am assuming you are referring to inaccurately describing the experience or emotions of an individual. In my case, the
person merely corrected my perception. Isn't that the normal tendency? In what case would the response be anger or distancing? Did I
understand your meaning of "imperfect mirroring"?
Thanks,
Claire
