Wondrously unsettling, like a Lovecraftian Rorschach Blot...
FWIW, after a remarkably unpleasant incident (NDA) that I'd handled correctly but left me with ghastly PTSD, my employers referred me to a 'Therapist'. He produced a flash-card like a 'Table Trick', asked what I saw. My instant reply of, 'A Rorschach' made him flinch. Undaunted, he produced another.
"Another Rorschach," I replied.
"But what do you see in it ?"
"Fractal stuff. Kin to Mandelbrot..."
Which, after careful study, he agreed it was. Well, 'Sorta, Kinda'. That I'd nailed it with one (1) glance made him shove the 'deck' into drawer...
As he said, some people look at fluffy clouds and see sheep. Others see cumulo-nimbus.
Over the following sessions, we established that 'Relaxation Tapes' and 'Mindfulness Stuff' were contra-indicated, as I found them exasperating.
What I really, really needed was to talk to some-one who'd comprehend the cruel complexities of that event without either fleeing in horror or hiding under desk and sucking their thumb. Yes, untrained, I'd called it totally, clinically right, but it left a bone-deep 'abscess' on my psyche. Between us, we drained enough woe for the rest to heal...
Brrrr...
Upside, each walk back to car-park passed a second-hand book-shop, which I duly trawled...
