Just take a walk and dictate into your phone. Use an App like Ada Dictation where the phone actually records your voice, but also does transcription in parallel. That way, you do not get interrupted by errors as you would if you dictated using Siri. But you also have a transcript on the screen, so if you lose your train of thought, you just take one glance at the screen. And, of course, you can store the results on your phone or in Evernote for later review. Personally, I found that 90% of therapy/having somebody to talk to is being able to get stuff out, and, while doing so, sorting through it. Real therapists can be a hindrance in that regard, because they will interrupt you, not understand things, take you off track with their own thoughts, etc.. Plus, there’s always the clock ticking. Also, it’s not necessarily one way or the other. You can easily do five or so sessions by yourself with your phone. And then, when you have gained a clearer picture of what it is you’re actually struggling with, then you might take one session and talk to an actual human. And then, when you do it, you’re not going to waste the time by using speech to sort through your own thoughts. Instead, you will be able to use speech to communicate the things that you already have understood, as well as the questions that you have. |
