What some of us have learned from Twitter is that we can communicate better with fewer words.
E. B. White said it first in The Elements of Style (1918) with that famous line:
Omit needless words.
Not that it's easy to heed that advice, but therapists should be able to do it since our rule is:
Do more listening than talking.
On the other hand, we know that writing's therapeutic, very much like that empty-out-the-brain phenomena of talk therapy.
That in mind, two short posts coming right up.
