transderivational

sometimes my blogs (and my words/actions/thoughts) are sort of... dramatic? or end in a really generic, common note/manner. i dont know man. maybe it was too many movies or something as a kid, but as mattt (yes three t's) explained to me, its just associative memory. transderivational memory.

"Definition: 'The process of searching back through one's stored memories and mental representations to find the reference experience from which a current behaviour or response was derived' (Dilts, 1990)." "

yeeah. so basically it means that in every action or word someone else says/does, we go back through our memory and try and find something that feels familiar to the situation to relate it back to. mattt's example; once he was standing outside while it was raining, smoking a cigarette and he felt that everything was wrong... in that time and place he was smoking the wrong kind of cigarette. he associated standing outside smoking a cigarette in the rain, with a particular sort of cig. get me?

well yeah. so if things seem a bit overplayed or odd on my parts, its probably that kicking in, wanting to make things just like how they seem in my head.
