A followup to my 'get a speech recorder' comment.

 

Once there were machines in public places where you could get therapy.  They were based on Carl Rogers' ideas of how the therapist should act…

 

 

 

Ja, Eliza:

This was a fun toy back in the late 70s.

 

Some yahoo rigged up a version of Eliza using teen-speak and sent it into a teen hangout.  Since Eliza came and went before they were born, they didn’t realize they were talking to themselves.

 

Regarding therapy: I am convinced there is something very therapeutic about hearing oneself talk, and there is something very educational about trying to educate someone else; while you explain yourself to others, you explain yourself to yourself.

 

Eliza is better in some ways than an actual therapist, because I will tell myself things I won’t tell anyone else under any circumstances.
